From a March, 2013 WaPo article by Dylan Matthews on her appointment as OMB Director:
"Sylvia Mathews Burwell: Six Things You Need To Know About the New White House Budget Director
(I was unable to find a working link to the article).
Google;"Sylvia Mathews Burwell: Six Things You Need To Know About the New White House Budget Director"

Here are three of the "six things"

!) She's a Bill Clinton/Robert Rubin Democrat
(Too bad she's not a Robert Reich Democrat)

2) She has experience fighting Congressional Republicans on budget matters
(That might come in handy)

3) Her Foundation work.....Burwell joined the non-profit world when Clinton left office.
She served as Executive Vice President of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (2001-2002)
She served as Chief Operating Officer from 2002-2006, and as president of the
Global Development Program from 2006-2011

In late 2011, she was picked to lead the Walmart Foundation


This article is worth tracking down; and, again, I'm sorry I was unable to find a working link, (perhaps due to it being more than a year old?)

I wonder if the tea baggers in the Senate will try to filibuster this nomination?
