Obama announces first female Secret Service director - CBS News

BAM!

History.

Obama announces first female Secret Service director - CBS News: "President Obama today announced he will appoint as the first female director of the U.S. Secret Service 30-year veteran agent Julia Pierson, signaling his desire to change the culture at the male-dominated agency, which has been marred by scandal.

In her 30 years with the Secret Service, Mr. Obama said in a statement, Pierson "is eminently qualified to lead the agency that not only safeguards Americans at major events and secures our financial system, but also protects our leaders and our first families, including my own. Julia has had an exemplary career, and I know these experiences will guide her as she takes on this new challenge to lead the impressive men and women of this important agency.""
