If by appointing her would be a political advantage ....Obama would do it....
He would not think twice about it...
After all it’s all about him.....screw the country....
It would be very easy for Obama to blame her, along with Republicans WHO DIDN'T VOTE AGAINST HER, for the absolute failure SJL would be as head of HHS.
SJL would be very easy to throw under the bus.
SJL would provide another "phony scandal".
Count on that. She is a walking scandal now - just waiting to be one of BO's "phony scandals".
That said, he will probably want her in the position as head of HHS so she can take the heat for Obama's failed policies re: homeland security.
