Watch for a possible UN proposed ban on privately owned firearms to rear its ugly head again. With no objection from the AG or president.

To reinforce his intention to work more closely with the United Nations after the tensions of President Bush’s tenure, Mr. Obama plans to restore the ambassador’s post to cabinet rank, as it was under President Bill Clinton, according to Democrats close to the transition.

While the cabinet consists of 15 department heads, a president can give other positions the same rank for the duration of his administration.

“She’s obviously one of Obama’s closest advisers, so it underscores how much of a priority he’s making the position,” said Nancy Soderberg, a senior United States diplomat at the United Nations under Mr. Clinton. “If you look at the last eight years, we obviously need to be more engaged at the U.N. and realistic about what the U.N. can do.”

As to what the UN can do, furthering petty dictatorships, widespread corruption and abuse of power jumps to the forefront.

On March 6, Rice said of Obama and Hillary Clinton, "they're both not ready to have that 3 am phone call."
