Resting a wee bit easier

Hillary Clinton will be the next Secretary of State.
Clinton is set to add secretary of state to her storied resume

Other than the Kennedy clan there is no other political family that has been such a powerful force for good . (The Kennedys are behind everything from the Peace Corps to the Special Olympics.)
Hillary has spent a large part of her working life on women and children's issues. And The Clinton Foundation is a remarkable success.

Of course, The Clinton "family" as a force is but 2 people. Given that one can presume that Obama will have to spend an enormous amount of time on the failed economy - Hillary Clinton may well carve out an enormous power base in the world and the White House. This would be good news. There are few people in D.C. I trust more than Hillary Clinton to be the face of America around the world.


If Obama continues to appoint Clinton Administration veterans I hope he has the good sense to get out of the way and let the grown ups do their work. Back to the future!
