If he picks her as secretary of state, she's the right choice.

    You have no evidence that the Clintons are manipulating the press. None at all.

    The only thing that counts here is statements by the Clinton herself and officially from the Obama campaign. There have been few official statements.

    What on earth is wrong with Bill Clinton saying that he is doing everything possible to accomodate the requests of the Obama campaign? Apparently, Clinton's lawyers and Obama's lawyers have worked together to examine CGI.

    Do you think they would be going to all this trouble for the hell of it?

    Oh, I know you would be soooo much happier if Bill Clinton indicated in some way that he is being obstructive. He apparently is not. He is helping his wife become Secretary of State by opening his dealings to the Obama team. It is the least he can do for his wife.

    You want to have it both ways. You want to say that by being accomodating that he is somehow being manipulative. He is merely saying that he does not want to be the source of obstacle.

    I should think you would be praising him.
