    I'll check out the articles you referred to. Believe me, I understand your concerns. I'm not overly wild about the Clinton Psychodrama being taken for a World Tour, but I'm willing to give this whole thing a chance to play out. I dont agree with those who say that once Obama hires her, he can't fire her if she's "going rogue" on him. (One of my favorite phrases from the campaign.) My observation is that Obama thinks strategically, and does things with a plan in mind and a long-term vision. That's not the same as saying just blindly "trust" him, but let's greet this idea with wary optimism.

    You've got to admit, the idea of both Clintons being out of the country for extended periods of time may not be a bad thing :).
