  Amen and So Be It

  I love Hillary and think she would be great as Secretary of State. She would be representing Obama's foreign policy, setting up diplomacy and terms for negotiation for Obama. The National Security Advisor formulates the foreign policy, Obama reviews, approves, tweaks, signs off, and the SoS carries it to foreign dignataries, establishing relationships, maintaining dialogue, articulating policy, and carries it all back to Obama. Her entire life has been in service to others and she is loyal. Her vote for the Iraq war was not a minority vote; limiting Cabinet appointments to those who opposed the war would leave a precious few. None of them ever guessed the president would LIE to them, not then.

  She would also be great in the Senate, even though everyone and their uncle---Kennedy, Daeschle, and Bachus??---have taken her health plan as their own and she has been effectively marginalized out of that issue. They do not reward or aknowledge capable women there, only, convicted 7x felons for whom they shed tears and give 60 sec standing ovations when they leave and turn coat Senators who call their president a terrorist, socialist, and Marxist.

  I am torn; I just want her to do what is best for her; she has taken enough smears on behalf of all of us. The media is cartooning her while she is being considered for a high, dignified position by a President-Elect everyone supposedly loves and trusts. I believe he either knows what he is seeking in her and values her---or---as NewYorkNewYork says, he is trying to minimize her and Prez Clinton totally out of the picture....I would be very, very sorry to see that, if that turns out to be the case.
