Obama's support of Clinton is well placed. I was an early supporter of Obama and had little enthusiasm for Senator Clinton's presidential aspirations. However, she would clearly be a compelling choice for Secretary of State with gravitas and reputation to set her in good standing throughout the world. I see little evidence that she would be in opposition to Obama and agree with your assertion that the differences in their foreign policy positions are razor thin. She has demonstrated she was a team player during the Denver convention and subsequent campaign events. I fear some of the resistance to Clinton remains a hangover from the bitterly fought primaries. We need to get over that and recognize both Obama and Clinton are committed to moving this country in the right direction. I think the selection of Clinton reinforces Obama's quiet self confidence, and I trust his instincts. In addition to this well written piece, during your lively appearance on yesterday's Hardball, you made strong, well-thought-out arguments in defense of Clinton. Keep up the good work.
