White House domestic violence

Here is the latest White House appointment:

Obama appoints domestic violence adviser

WASHINGTON (AP) - A longtime advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault has been named to a new post advising the White House on those issues.

Vice President Joe Biden announced the appointment Friday of Lynn Rosenthal, an expert in domestic violence policy. The White House said she will advise President Barack Obama and work with government agencies to ensure that violence against women isn't ignored and the perpetrators are held accountable.

Surely Obama has bigger problems to worry about.
