Barrack Obama is working on putting his cabinet together and during the past week he has evidently been interviewing candidates for various positions. One of the big headliners to come out of this process is Hillary Clinton, who reportedly is being considered for the position of Secretary of State.
I personally do not believe that Hillary should become a member of Obama's cabinet. Not that I don't think she's qualified, I actually believe she could handle any of the cabinet posts, I just think she will prove much more valuable to Obama from her position in the Senate. The Democrats may end up with the numbers in the Senate they need for a majority, but the more seasoned veterans they have, the better their chances of passing the legislature they want.
Hillary can do a lot more pushing through legislation than could a newly appointed replacement. After all, Obama and Biden are going to be replaced by new blood, no need in getting rid of all of the veterans.
Bill Richardson seems like the best choice for Secretary of State, in my opinion. He was already work on the international scene through the UN, he has connections, and I think he will work well with Obama.
Obama needs to keep Hillary as an attack dog in the Senate. As long as the two of them can make some comprises on health care, I think Obama will find Hillary to be a valuable member of his team.
Put your best people in the places they can do the most good.
Its Common Sense!
