Well don't include me in that thinking. Considering how our government works between the three branches, unless the majority of all of those members are women or people of color (I hate the word minority) then special favors and snubbing won't happen.
IMO the president really doesn't run the country, those who surround him or her do. The key is electing a president who will have good judgement in selecting those people.
