Avril Haines will be the first woman to be second in command at the CIA, but critics point not to her gender but her lack of CIA experience. Her choice suggests Obama wants a close ally.
Plucking from a collection of high-powered female lawyers serving the White House, President Obama has nominated Avril Haines as the next deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
One former senior CIA official tells the Monitor that her nomination has prompted surprise among his former colleagues, not due to Haines’s gender, of course, but because she is a relative unknown in the community. He says the law is “not a typical track” for the deputy director job and that she’ll likely “face some skepticism among the ranks until she can prove that she has learned the intricacies of the organization and doesn’t automatically default to an overly legalistic, risk averse, view of everything.”
“She has the disadvantage of following Michael J. Morell who is much admired across the board,” the official adds. “Thirty-three years of experience being replaced by none. She faces quite an uphill climb.”

Its all about keeping the deck shuffled.
He acts like its Soviet Russia
communist leaders there didn’t fear Americans as much as they did their internal political opponents. Obama doesn’t fear Republicans. I think he fears the Clintons.
Jeez, Avril Lavigne would’ve been just as good a choice...
Same as all his other appointments. Not one is qualified for the job—except as a gang of corrupt, left-wing extremists.
I’m sure the Senate will confirm her in short order, and most of the Republicans will hop on board.
She will do Obama’s bidding, IE, turn the organization into an “internal security force” that ignores external threats and concentrates on eliminating democrat opposition through fear and intimidation
His mother in law wasn’t available?
I doubt she’ll do much of anything aside from fill the position. The guy she’s replacing is still there as a intell advisor.
Yet the same people or their parents criticized President Reagan for his William Casey choice for DCI, even though he’d been in the OSS for goodness sakes!
What’s her background in political opposition research?
She will do what she’s told?
He did it to preserve continuity and balance.
An experienced, competent person would stand out like a sore thumb in his administration.
Huma is tied up with Hillary's 2016 run...or just tied up by Hillary?
and America takes another one in the........
It is paranoia run amok. Obama trusts so very few persons that he is putting them in positions in which they cannot be effective except to be loyal.
MSM gives 0 a pass, after all he IS Black.
MSM will go easier on Lib women. Hillary is living proof.
This subhuman creature knows no bounds...nobama.
Hey if you can’t electronically bug em any more,put a living bug in the system.
It’s a freak show.
Why not? He doesn’t have experience in anything but collecting names on a clipboard on the streets of Chi-Congo.
