I don’t know why this was leaked, and I don’t know if it’s even true, but, it appears that it is, because she flew to Chicago yesterday, and it would seem
insane for the Obama people to leak this and then not offer it to her.
A lot of pundits on both the left, the right, and wherever, have been claiming they’re shocked by this. Why would you offer this position to a woman who hit you hard on your foreign policy plans –heavy on the diplomacy – during the primary? This strikes me as funny, because these people either don’t listen, or have been in Dc for so long that they assume everything they hear is PR and not for real.
But when Obama said that he has been reading a lot of Lincoln, and also a lot about Lincoln, most notably, “Team of Rivals”, I don’t think he was just talking shit.
The other argument I have heard and read, is well, why would she want it? Why would she want to give up a probably life-time senate seat for what will be a temporary job? Well, why does everyone assume that a person would want to rot in the Senate and die there at 90? That might be, and in fact, is, for some people, but it’s not for everybody.
I personally have no problem with this and am getting soooo sick and tired of the left who does have a problem with it. Hillary Clinton did one hundred times more than many, including both Ted Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, both of whom did not pay any price for trying to bury their opponents even after losing, than any man, ever, did, ever. And still, the whining. So, shut up, and sit down. Hillary Clinton has been working all over this country to elect democrats, unlike Joe Lieberman who is going to be rewarded by the boys, for working all over this country to try and elect Republicans. And she has been doing it since 2000 that I clearly remember, very possibly earlier. She worked hard to get her former rival Barack Obama elected.
She’s effective, extremely smart, and very knowledgeable. And this is the woman who went to DC only a short time after the opposing party had demonized her beyond the telling of it, and tried to impeach her husband out of office, and within months was winning raves from that opposition. So even though she doesn’t wink and sashay around like a bimbo, what do you know, but she obviously has got a lot of charm and diplomatic skills going for her. Those are good things to have as Secretary of State. To the whiny, Hillary-hating left – SHUT UP ALREADY. Like you would have voted for her if Obama lost, and like you would have been campaigning for her. God I’m sick of them.
