Over the next year and before the end of Obama's first term as president, he must appoint new officials in key positions within the military aspect of the government. The current defense secretary along with numerous top generals is among those whose terms are up or are retiring and must be replaced. All of these opening will be key moving forward not only in the Obama administration but for the current war and years to come. No matter who the appointees are, Obama will certainly face scrutiny from the Senate who has made it their mission to defeat him. However, he could do another political first and move Hillary Clinton to Defense Secretary, who would be the first woman appointed, only time will tell.
