Did you even read tibor75's post?

If so, you missed the point.

He also has to get a hall pass every time he wants a little strange in Dubuque, IA - and only in Dubuque, IA.

Keep your friends close and your frienemies closer. At first I was a bit taken back by the idea, but it is politically savvy. Essentially, the move gets Hillary out of the domestic site of things and neuters Bill. She is a rock star overseas, so in that respect she brings instant credibility to the job. As long as she doesn't "go rogue" (and I don't think she will), this should prove to be a clever appointment. Having Samantha "Hillary is a monster" Power on the transition team demonstrates that this is his State Department and not hers.

I have never been a Hillary Clinton fan, but I can get behind this appointment. My trust for Obama's leadership and judgment supersedes my distaste for the Clintons. I think the whole "team of rivals" thing is cliche, but I do like that he seems to be surrounding himself with strong voices who may challenge his thinking and lead him to make more well-informed decisions than the current administration.

Either that or it was a) try and wrestle the Democratic power base away from the Clintons (extremely hard to do, considering how entrenched they are and how they were the only successful face of the party for a number of years) or b) realize you aren't going to accomplish that and incorporate them. Motivation aside, either way, if she isn't dodging fake bullets getting off of any helicopters, she does have a lot more credibility on the world stage than he does, in terms of the fact she's been there for a number of years and knows the people, who are hard asses, who can be snowed under, who deals straight, etc., which can't hurt us at all.

Guess this opens up the Senatorial seat for Bill to come in and take.

[jlb1705]

I doubt it.

I'd bet on Andrew Cuomo. From what I've read he wants it, and for Paterson it would eliminate his chief rival for the Dem primary when the governor comes up for re-election

I really am liking how the administration is using the web.

I think her next stop is in Port Moresby. She heard that's where Carmen Sandiego and Double Trouble were last seen.

Hillary recently went to Russia and made a "Reset" button with the supposed russian translation for "reset". They got it wrong. It translates to "Overcharge"! Duh! Great start.

Yahoo search it for proof.

what a dumb idea, even with the proper translation

Even worse, the thing looked like the classic movie prop red button for launching nukes.

I just thought it was funny. Having all the information at your finger tips, not to mention being able to make a better looking reset button. Heck, the "That was easy" button at staples looks better!
