Worries About Obama's Team: Susan Rice Edition

Blake Hounshell lists some "inchoate fears" regarding each member of Obama's national security team.

Interestingly, he leaves off Susan Rice. If I had to list my own ill-defined worries about Obama's team, Rice and her persistent calls to get the U.S. entangled in Sudan's civil war would be at the top of my list. I worry that Rice will fail to convince the United Nations or the European Union to send additional troops or helicopters to support the African Union's efforts in Darfur, but will convince President Obama to send U.S. resources into Darfur.

Now, I think that's a long shot. But while we're worrying about decisions not yet made, I thought I'd throw that out there.
