I've changed my mind...I now support Hillary for SoS.
I still have some concerns about her political and financial ties to AIPAC , and her unrepentant support for the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq, but as Sos, she will have to do what Obama tells her to do.

She will be HIS direct subordinate.

She will be unable to publicly oppose Obama's decisions.

She will be unable to publicly criticize Obama.

She will be unable to function independently in ANY capacity.

She will be unable to publicly disagree with ANY Obama policy.

She will be unable to maintain her campaign machine.

Removing Hillary from her Senate Seat removes her independence and her ability to challenge or criticize his administration.

The more I think about this, the more I like it.

Kudos to Obama. Very very smart move.



The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

2. Well, nasty lives on and on and on.
And what a load of claptrap you swallowed during the primaries...and keep upchucking on DU.

Take the high colonic you so desperately need and get it out of your system.

3. Someone on MSNBC said that Obama wants the smartest people and no yes men.
That would be Hillary.

4. Yeah, give her an expense account and send her to the Middle East...
..She can toil for 8 years trying to craft a peace agreement and be very far away from the DC spotlight.

5. If chosen, she will be outstanding, as usual. This is a smart decision
by Obama. Hope he follows through. I am not sure I want her to accept, but I do support the position being offered to her. Then, it's her decision. I honestly do not believe she will want another run at the White House. At some time in one's life, it is time to rest. Her head has to be sore from breaking so many glass ceilings.

6. Exchange "he" for "she"
and you get the twofer going on. If that's truly his thinking, he is so beyond brilliant or anything like we've ever seen in the White House before.
