Why NOT Hillary ?

Washington Post: If your close to Obama, get him to read this article by David Ignatius in the Post. If really wants to appoint Hillary to State, this article should tell him why its a very bad idea. In Diplomacy you need quiet, a Secretary of State that does not upstage the President. If you appoint Hillary you get Drama and Bill Clinton !. Also if you wanted secret talks with Iran, what is the one person you would not send as they get the most press, yes its Hillary again. If Obama really wants change he should appoint New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Read of the Day.

New US AG ?

Newsweek: Reports that the next US Attorney General will be Eric Holder. The article reports that the Obama Camp has asked if the Republicans in the Senate would cause any problems due to the fact that Holder supported the decision by President Bill Clinton to pardon Marc Rich, this was the last great scandal of the Clinton Administration, the ex wife of Rich was a major supporter of the Clintons. It seems Obama is in awe of the Clinton Administration, from his Chief of Staff to the next Attorney General all come from the Clinton Administration, its like Bill Clinton Mark 11 or the West Wing without Bill Clinton. The Obama Campaign ran change, what change, the Democrats might as well have nominated Hillary Clinton. If you going to have the Clinton's back at State and old Clinton hands running the Administration what is the point of Obama. All these old Clinton hands will have loyalty to Bill and Hillary Clinton, its LBJ and RFK all over again. I will promise that over the next four years you will hear stories that Obama made a mistake is appointing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, he angry that his Aides has talking to the Clinton's as if they are still in charge but he cant sack her as Secretary of State. As to the Marc Rich Pardon this is down to Bill Clinton, the ex wife of Mr Rich was a major supporter of Bill Clinton, thus Holder should use the cover that all Pardons are down to the President of the day, Dick Morris; Bill Clinton's Political Guru; states that this appointment would be a mistake by Obama. It does seem that Obama in a way is returning to the last major scandal of the Clinton Administration, there must be better Democratic prospects for Attorney General, change does not come when its the same faces from the same scandals. .
