...Obama foreign policy advisor called up by Naval Reserve
National Journal reports, via Marc Ambinder, that Mark Lippert, Obama's principal foreign policy advisor and member of the Naval Reserves, has been called up for active duty. According to the report, he does not know where or how long he’ll deploy, but he's currently training (and Denis McDonough, a former Daschle advisor, will apparently increase his profile within the campaign in Mark's absence).
Yet another Democrat proving -- and not just talking about -- national security seriousness. Also worth noting that Mark signed up for the Reserves three years ago, right in the midst of two ongoing wars.
