So what's in this for Hillary?

Taking charge of the State Department will give Clinton more power than hanging around the Senate -- even if she does have a history with her new boss.

    Bravo, Nana!

    Nana's reply hit the essential nature of Hillary Clinton. This job does, indeed, allow her to bring together a lifetime of skills and experience for the good of others.

    In my own profession, the goal was ALWAYS to be given those opportunities. The money and power or lack of power sort of just trailed behind. The real deal was getting to find opportunities to apply my own potential.

    This job never once seemed to me to be anything she'd pass up. It's meaty. It's challenging. It's tailored for her.

    Kudos to Obama and to Hillary.
