FROM JAKE TAPPER AND MARTHA RADDATZ:

Democratic sources tell ABC News that President-elect Obama appears to be turning to two retired four-stars for his National Security Adviser and his Director of National Intelligence.

Marine Gen. James L. Jones (Ret.), the former head of NATO and U.S. forces in Europe, has emerged as the leading candidate to serve as the National Security Adviser for President-elect Obama.

Admiral Dennis C. Blair (Ret.), former Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Pacific Command and a 6th-generation naval officer, has emerged as the top candidate to be President-elect Obama's Director of National Intelligence. He recently met in Chicago with the president-elect.

Neither job has been officially offered or accepted, and the Obama Transition Team would not confirm or deny either man's front-runner status.

What is with the Obama team picking all these highly qualified people for positions in his Administration? Aren't there any horse show organizers available? Sheeeesh.

This is exactly the kind of change Barack has been campaigning for over the past two years. Change from incompetent members of an incompetent Bush Administration to a President Barack placing responsibility into the experienced hands of highly capable men and women. Barack will provide the vision, and his Cabinet and staff will perform the supervision of competent new hires performing the obligatory hard work!

No FUBAR in the Obama White House!
