If the incoming administration 'moves on', then Ms. Johnsen's appointment looks more like window dressing.
No doubt about it. As I said: "No praise is due Obama until he actually does things that merit praise."
Still, while it's very hard to judge someone's character from some article they wrote, she certainly doesn't strike me as the type who would willingly serve as window dressing for an administration that is doing things that she finds highly objectionable, though that, too, remains to be seen.
It's an encouraging sign, but that's all it is -- as you point out, just a first and necessary step, but far from sufficient.
