Thank you Joan for this sensible argument. I was a stauch Obama supporter throughout the primaries, but Hillary Clinton's potential appointment as SoS is nothing short of masterful. Talk about the impression this will have on world leaders - by uniting the already powerful Obama brand with the legendary Clinton brand you truly have a triple threat! It's like a super hero coalition of Democrats.
I think Bill and Hillary have been nothing short of gracious since she lost the primary, and they have shown through their words and actions that they are willing to do what is necessary to assist Barack Obama in any way possible. They campaigned vigorously and selflessly for him, and now it seems that Bill (Bill!) is happily jumping through all sorts of vetting hoops to get his wife the job. That shows class, humility and a willingness to serve. And it allows Obama to look like he is the one calling the shots (which he is, lest anyone forget).
