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.

Actually, its not a bad move on his part. She’s out of the Senate and he can fire her at will. Which he will do the first time she screws up. And, really, we all know that despite the hype, that both HRC and BHO are empty suits (though his was a little emptier than hers, ‘cause she’s got Bill to run to for advice). The first time she screws up (or BHO screws up and HRC has to take the blame), she’s out. I predict 2 years max.
Anybody who runs for President anymore has misjudged something somewhere along the way.
I thought the move was brilliant. He can now blame everything on Hillary since she was so “experienced.” He is looking to hire fall guys that don’t mind being run over by the bus when things go bad.
Okay so that’s a lot of people, just where will they start?
I think it could be a slick move on his part. Much of the Hildebeast’s support and financial backing comes from Jewish interests. If she is forced to be the point “man” for his Muslim-appeasing foreign policy, she may lose cred with them. That would badly hurt her ability to challenge him for the Presidency. Then again, it could backfire. if she resists and resigns in protest, she could become a rallying point for his opponents within the Demonrat Party.
Do you remember that Clinton List?

Hi Kanawa,
Do you have a link to the post on Digg?
BTW, have you heard from Jan in Colorado lately?
don’t be too sure, because she must have something over him to have gotten the offer in first place...she’s in line for Pres after Pro Tem of Senate.
Nah, the ears are too small.
the funny thing is that the biggest obstacle in her vetting was whether there would be a conflict over the Clinton Global Initiative
There the only ATF agents killed,

at Mount Carmel in Waco Texas
