Appointing Hillary as his Secretary of State was a weak and cowardly payback on Obama’s part, and everyone knew it.

He hates her with a passion, which is evidenced in the many photos of them together, and by his shameful treatment of her during the Democrat National Convention.

I’m sure the feeling’s mutual.

I dunno....his cabinet is filled with Clinton cronies, just sayin

Don't forget that Obama also flipped Hillary the “bird” when talking about her!

I thought it was a smart move as she could have been more of a threat to him in the Senate and by appointing her he pretty much controls her.

He also gave out many of the S.O.S. responsibilities to others, thus taking more power away from her. Just my thoughts.

So why did Hillary take the job?

[Cicero]

I think that each of them is trying to use the other. Hillary wants to gain gravitas, stay in the public eye, and come back for another run.

Obama wants to keep his friends close and his enemies closer, and subject her to subtle humiliations like this one.

Each of them will betray or dump the other without notice, if it serves their purposes. Obama has the upper hand now, but if he weakens and continues to lose popularity, he’d better watch out.

Michelle Obama detests HRC more than Barack does. During the Hillary video at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama had a frozen smile on her face and it was obvious she was seething.

Any theories as to why the Obamas hate Hillary?
