I welcome Hillary in any way Obama wants her
I don't understand all the bashing. Hillary lost a heart breaking primary and it could have been easy for her to hold back on her support of Barack. Instead she came out quickly and strong and did everything that was asked of her to help our party to get Obama elected. All I can say is she proved me wrong , she does put the good of the country first and if Barack wants her that's great with me. How could anyone question Obama's decission, he's done pretty good so far.

1. Doesn't matter. Look like the
Richardson bashers and chronic Kerry haters/bashers will be happy. Hillary won't embarrass Obama like the other two.

There are a lot of Kerry haters, Richardson bashers who think that they will embarrass Obama because of their flaws and think Hil won't do that to Obama.

I am not a worshiper of any politician, but I don't feel the need to tear down anyone to praise another.

10. Richardson would have been a better SoS
than the other two. Heck, he probably should have been the VP candidate.

3. I'm so happy she proved me wrong and showed her true side. >

A side that I did grow to like a lot in her biography, a book that all Democrats should read as a must. Hillary did over 50 rallies for Obama more than any candidate before her, she truly derserves credit for that. I think we can take the primaries more as not the best campaign advice. The Clintons word holds a lot of weight in the world SoS makes complete sense. As long has their is a humbleness to the role she should do very well. Bill Clinton has previously said that whatever role Obama asked her to do she would do her duty, every evidence since the primary would indicate that to be true.

4. I trust Obama's judgment - that is why I voted for him!
Whoever he chooses for his cabinet, I know there is a good reason.

5. I don't. It would be a BIG mistake to invite the Clintons back into the Executive Branch.
ENOUGH! I'm burned out with political dynasties. :thumbsdown:

7. That's a good attitude to have
Even though I don't necessarily think she'd be the best SoS, I do trust Obama's judgment - he's a pretty smart guy. ;)

8. About Obama's Judgment... there have been a few "hmmm's".
Over the last 8 months, there have been various Senatorial decisions he's made that have caused dissent. And some of them have seemed "politically prudent" but perhaps morally flawed.

He's "our" candidate, so we lived with it. But it was early evidence that he would not always do what some of us would have preferred.

If he picks Clinton for SoS, it will be a decision that I won't like. I'll obviously have to live with it, but I'm just crossing my fingers that it's media hype.
