I can not disagree with any of the commenters. They seem to hit the target dead center.

If you hire a neighborhood orgynizer that is what you get.

I can't think of anything that qualifies Hillary for Secretary of State. But that's just me.

I realize Obama is looking to make nice with them, but I think this position is making a little too much nice.

I am not surprised Obama is going to go for tokenism over quality when it comes to appointments-tokenism anymore is how presidential or really executive branch politics are played.

With all the Clintonites back, Hillary can run the country from State.

So, the Clinton's and half their entourage are back in the executive branch to initiate hope and change? Sounds like the S.O.S. to me, and I don't mean Secretary Of State.[lol]

Also,I see that the article says that MLK's dream is a rejected lie.

Naming Clinton SOS is placating the usual constituencies and sharing the spoils in a highly visible way? Why can't it be said that he may just want to make use of her smarts and stamina and experience? It's not as if he really believed all that campaign rhetoric against her. Of course he's inexperienced, but he's not stupid! Another word to describe these "insiders" is competent. He's always found a way to get the support and to make use of those he needs in order to first get elected. Now that he has no higher office to aspire to, he can for the first time in his political career actually DO something. Let's see what he does.

Heh, another thing Megan was wrong about. I'm amused.

This is why he is President.

Someone has a time portal.

"Second. Let's wait and see if this is what actually happens before we pass judgment..."

Yea, Yea, Yea. Lets give Obama a no comment lovefest for at least the first six years of his first term.

This is why he is President. The MSM gave him a two year comment free period in the runup to the primary and election.

Why do you think these rumors abound?

All these stories are way too fast off the blocks. Wait to see what job if any Goolsbee gets. (And don't forget the Canada gaffe)
