Here are your orders. |
From the CapitalAlert blog of the
Sacramento Bee:
President Barack
Obama has decided not to attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi,
Russia, in February, so he's sending a delegation of athletes and diplomats in
his place. Leading the group, the White House announced yesterday, is Janet
Napolitano, president of the University of California system, who also
led a delegation to the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010.
She will be joined by former tennis champion Billie Jean King and figure
skating gold medalist Brian Boitano, among others.
"I look forward to being in Sochi to support our Olympic athletes and
celebrate their accomplishments," Napolitano said in a statement. "It
is an honor to represent our country in the company of individuals who have
excelled in life and sport."

Seems like a very odd assignment for a UC president. But maybe there is more to it!
