Hillary is being vetted as a candidate for Secretary of State in the Obama administration, but there are many out there who do not like the idea. David Ignatius explains in the Washington Post blog:
The game changer in foreign policy is Barack Obama himself. Traveling in Europe earlier this month, I was stunned by the excitement he has aroused. The day after the election, the French newspaper “Le Monde” carried a cartoon atop its front page that showed Obama surfing a red, white and blue wave. Above him, it said: “Happy New Century!” You can sense the same enthusiasm around the world — in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia. Even among the followers of radical groups, such as Hamas and the Taliban, Obama has inspired a sense of change and opportunity.
Furthermore, Ignatius worries about Hillary stealing Obama’s thunder in foreign policy should she become Secretary of State. I hate to say it but with Obama’s thin resume, almost any Washington politico would steal Obama’s thunder if appointed to a post.
I applaud Obama’s effort to unify his party, but I can’t help but wonder if this move is to keep his enemies closer? Besides, we all know that Hillary voted for McCain/Palin, right?
