Obama appoints CAP’s Brad Kiley as Director of Office of Management and Administration

Obama has appointed an openly gay man/former Think Progress colleague as the Director of the Office of Management and Administration:

This afternoon, the Obama transition team announced several new White House staff members, including our friend and former colleague Brad Kiley as the Director of the Office of Management and Administration. Brad is currently the Director of Operations for the transition team. He served as Vice President of Finance and Operations at the Center for American Progress, and before that, as deputy assistant to the president for management and administration in the Clinton White House. With his new position, Brad is the highest ranking LGBT appointment in the White House.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have made a big deal out of this, but because of recent controversies, I thought it was worth a mention.
