I loved Bill Clinton as President and I would have been perfectly happy to see Hillary in the Oval Office. Neither, however, blinds me to the massive problem with making Hillary Secretary of State. It has nothing directly to do with Hillary. It's named Bill. President Clinton is a man of very large appetites and very few restraints. He would not be able to keep his mouth shut. He would not be able to keep whatever commitments he made to the administration. He would be the story when Obama and his new initiatives should be the story. It would be Obama's first really big mistake to undercut himself in that way.
