If it’s true, I really have to believe that Barack Obama’s decision to make Hillary Clinton Secretary of State was him simply following the adage of “keeping your friends close and your enemies closer,” because if it wasn’t, I’m losing faith in what Obama considers change.  His cabinet is a rehash of what we saw during the Clinton years, leaving me asking – aren’t there better qualified, new-blood men and women that could offer the change that Obama has preached so aggressively during his campaign?  Seriosuly, other than being married to Bill Clinton, what has Hillary really accomplished?  Does she have the foreign affairs experience necessary to avoid embarrassing the Untied States?

Not to mention, the only reason that Hillary would accept any position offered by Obama is to advance her own political career.  She’s already showed with her wavering suppot of Obama after the primaries that she believes she should be the president.  What makes anyone think that she feels any differently now or that she would put the office, the party and the President before her own personal agenda?  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Hillary Clinton is in it for herself and she has an agenda – her agenda is to help herself.  It’s that simple.
