Jim Geraghty notes, as many of us did, that the lectern and microphone placement at today’s press conference made Barack Obama’s national security team look quite short. The notable exception was National Security Advisor designee Jim Jones, who at 6’5” towered over the proceedings.
My guess is that the rest of them won’t be asked to join in any of Obama’s pickup basketball games. Jones played varsity at Georgetown, so he’s in either way.
