Just Say No to Hillary
Talk of Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State appears to be reaching critical mass. Has Obama lost his mind? Hillary would be a disaster on so many fronts. For starters she hates Obama and would only use the gig to burnish her thin resume. Does Obama want to begin his historic presidency with the drama and baggage that comes with the sleazy Clintons? I suspect most of this is a trial baloon floated by the Clinton's to get her out of the Senate now that Ted Kennedy has told her he'd be the point man on health care as long as he has a breath in his body. Hillary's only interest in the Senate anyway was as a stepping stone to a presidential bid. That train has left the station and she sure as hell as no intention of hitting the County Fair in upstate New York for the next four years. She probably thinks a successful run as Secretary of State would give her one last shot at the White House in 2016 even though she'd be pushing 70. As for Obama, I suspect he feels obliged to play the game for fear of offending all those angry Hillary women. He let the naive believe he was actually considering Hillary for VP too. Just say no to Hillary one more time. You don't need the aggravation.

On the other hand, she just might...just might...make a great Sec of State. That is, if intelligence, thorough grounding in foreign policy, diplomacy (yes, diplomacy - she got it. You, James, do not) and the kind of strong work ethic you seem to find either sinister or laughable count more than the sniggering innuendo of the chattering elite Republican classes.
Hey Jane, I remember when the word 'elite' was something to brag about! My how times have changed.
We may be putting too much emphasis on the personalities of the players.
Obama's own record and interest in Lincoln's diverse cabinet suggests that he wants to bring everybody into the fold.
