Hillary Clinton was named Secretary of State

As expected on Monday morning, Senator Hillary Clinton was named Secretary of State in President-elect Obama’s new administration.

While the Obama and Clinton camps had feuded during the primaries, this represents a bold leadership move by Obama in appointing a former rival with whom he has not always seen eye-to-eye.

I’m a pretty level-headed guy and I have to admit, I’m not sure I could be as magnanimous as he has been. On this very blog, on Nov. 5th I was calling for Democrat-turned-McCain supporter Sen. Joe Lieberman’s head. And while I like Sen. Clinton and have voted for her twice, I’m not sure I”m mature enough to appoint such a recent bitter rival to such a key cabinet post. A friened texted me last week and marveled that Obama is assembling a “dream team” of advisors to serve in his administration. Of this kaleidescope of stars, few shine brighter than Senator, soon to be Secretary, Hillary Clinton.
