In the office block in downtown Washington where Barack Obama's White House transition team are at work, there is no time for breaks.
Lunch is taken at desks. Staff need a good reason to go out at all.
But a little after lunch on Wednesday two Obama aides went to a local coffee shop to talk. Both were veterans of the campaign, hailed as the best organised and most disciplined in US history, which has made their boss the first black president.
Both had come to believe, in the crucible of the campaign, that Mr Obama's judgment was superior to their own. But when they met on Wednesday they agreed on one thing: "He's making a mistake." As one of the participants told a friend later that night: "She'll do a good job but she'll do it for herself, not for Barack. I can't bear the drama again."
She, of course, is Hillary Clinton, former First Lady, figurehead of Democratic women, presidential candidate with 18 million votes and now would-be Secretary of State.

Thanks Kanawa.
:-)
Yep that’s the list.
Must have bad luck on their part :-)
Last message was on Nov.18
“and get fired. The Sec of State serves at the pleasure of the president. Then he can kick her out of DC once and for all”
After this, she can reveal the piece of info that she bribed him with to make her SOS. Should be entertaining for all.
You may want to read the list.
We can only hope. I’ll take Bill and hill over Hussein and Michelle anyday. I never thought I would ever say that!
Me too...
“bad luck”....hahahahahahaha CJ is my field, and there are no coincidences in criminal justice..that said, surely you have read the list.
His half white mix sure got thrown under the train. I prefer to call him what he is..... and it aint black.
Yes I believe AlamoGal compiled it a decade ago.
I have the list, and I copied it when they were in power.When I mention anything about it, I am absolutely amazed that people do not know anything about how corrupt they really were. All covered up.
I truly appreciate the collective memory of FR.
Please tell me this is photoshopped. YUCK!
Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Robert Byrd will be sleeping less comfortably from now on.

One middle east trip would do it.
obambi and hillary! both show a shocking lack of wisdom. I just don’t get it.
It was smart of Obama not to offer Hillary the VP slot. As SOS she's too far down the line of succession--the Clintons won't try to Arkancide him because that would just make Biden President.
The Clintons had a pretty feeble foreign policy record when they were in charge. Apart from stopping the siege of Sarajevo and enabling Yasser Arafat to win the Nobel Peace Prize, they didn't have a lot of successes. WJC not only did nothing to stop the genocide in Rwanda, but made sure no one else would be able to do anything. On the whole our enemies were stronger at the end of his 8 years than when he took office.
But to put a smiley face on it, Hillary isn't as bad as some people Obama could have selected--Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Cindy Sheahan, Louis Farrakhan, Dennis Kucinich, or Ward Churchill.
Those six are probably being saved for Barry’s second term cabinet.
The question is...does BO have the authority to hire anybody. Where’s the Birth certificate BO?
