I heard today that President Elect Obama is strongly considering Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/11/13/hillary_clinton_secretary_of_s.html?hpid=topnews . This would be smart move for Obama on several levels. First and foremost he'd be following the advice of political strategist Michael Corleone, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." I am convinced that outside the Bible, much of human wisdom is found in GF I and II. She may want to challenge him in 2012 particularly if things aren't going well. This will be nearly impossible from within his administration. Secondly it gets her involved in an area that she has no expertise really. A big threat to him would be her meddling in health care for example. Third this would assure Hillary supporters come back to the fold of Obama. Despite all the hype, many did vote for McCain Palin after all. The real question is would she want it. It did give me some joy to hear the Arab countries hate him now because of his selection of a Jew as chief of staff. The honeymoon was short lived indeed. As I have said before, his support for Israel is irrelevant if perception is to the contrary. Even if Barack loves Israel in his heart, it doesn't matter if Tehran perceives him to be wavering and uses the opportunity to attack. Hopefully, God willing, it won't come to that.
