WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced his intent to nominate Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to serve as representative of the United States to the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as representative of the United States to the United Nations General Assembly, and I thank President Obama for this nomination," Shaheen said.
"The security challenges facing America today are truly complex and global in nature. From nuclear proliferation to international terrorism to climate change, the U.S. will need to leverage support from the international community if we are to overcome these dangerous threats. American leadership will be critical to this effort. I look forward to bringing this message to the U.N. as we work to strengthen our alliances and protect American interests around the globe."
Obama also announced his intent to nominate the following individuals to the 65th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations: Carol Fulp, as representative; Greg Nickels, as an alternate representative and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., as a representative.
(Now we need to get rid of Lynch more than ever–so we can appoint a Republican to replace her. Makes me wonder if that will motivate the democrats to come out and save his tiny little Governorship?)
[Update 2.0]
Looks like she’s just a rep and not going as a career move. We’re still stuck with her. On a positive note, she is an endless source of blog material.
[Update]
The latest session at the UN started on the 14th of September. That means Lynch will be seeking to appoint a replacement as soon as possible seeing as his days as Governor are truly numbered.
The list of horrible options is long and less than distinguished, but we can hope that in this one instance he can actually demonstrate some of that so-called bpartisamism and pick Ovide Lamontagne. Who am I kidding. He’ll pick some left wing crank from a list supplied by Ray Buckley.
