It's almost like they want him to die before he can screw up, but in such a way as they can take advantage of it.

      <description><![CDATA[Latest I've seen is that they're &quot;in talks about the possibility&quot; of HRC becoming Secretary of State.  

I think it's a fairly encouraging, if a little weird, sign of Obama's attitude toward governance.  (Surprising to see all these Clintonites being named, but probably better than whatever the MoveOn.org slate would be.)

What I can't figure out, though, is what's in it for Hillary.  I don't think she'd be much better or worse than a lot of people* in the job (the permanent foreign service seems to make even the hardiest soul &quot;go native&quot; in about 6 months anyway), but why would she want the job exactly?  I never thought she'd want the Vice Presidency either, for that matter.


* - Exception: John Kerry might, in fact, be the worst possible choice, save possibly Joe Biden.  I'm intrigued by the notion that Obama is protecting himself by surrounding himself with an inner core of some of the most awful politician types of our generation.  Next to Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, and Reid, Obama starts looking a little bit like a God-King even to a cynical evil Republican like me who has thus far been immune to the Cult of Obama!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sec. of State wield alot of independance this is true. However they still at the end of the day are working under the president, and to be effective cannot buck for the wrong reasons. 

Look at the leaks on her end of this story, she is weakening Obama right out of the gate. Obama has run a very tight ship and now it looks like he is losing his people's focus because a story has her accepting a position without everything about the Clinton finances vetted. If he has to withdraw the offer because Bill is on the take, Obama looks foolish. 

She is looking to secure the position, just like she was looking to force his hand on the VP spot. I am concerned that she is going to continue this trend while working in the Obama administration. Using the media and her influence over the party to try and corner Obama to make him take on bad positions. I do not think she is done running, and that makes her a concern.  

Imo its a bad game for them to be playing given the seriousness of foriegn policy these days. She could easily blow delicate talks as she plays the Clinton game.  

I would have prefered Condoleezza Rice remain in the post over Hillary, Rice might disagree with every thing that Obama says but at least she would not be undercutting him while measuring the curtains. She'd buck just as much if not more but at the end of the day I think she'd either agree to support him or tell Obama she will not take the action he wants to his face, not through a leak to msnbc.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I agree totally.  I'd have to say Stephen King has always done a pretty good job of it, and perhaps even moreso Rob Reiner when he adapted one of King's short stories  as Stand By Me.  It always had the same feeling as A Christmas Story did to me and reminded me of the way kids actually acted and thought (or at least the way kids I grew up with did.)

      <description><![CDATA[Not that I'm wishing any ill on any of them. Also, it's been a long time since the secretary of state was an electoral path to the presidency. I hope it is a harbinger of the way Obama intends to govern, by reaching to rivals in pursuit of the country's common good, which I believe is formed by a true Obama-Clinton alliance. Time will tell whether it's that, or cynically innoculating himself from outside challenges.]]></description>
