Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State

^I don't think she would have been such a big presence continuing as a Senator, 1 in 100 and having been defeated for the nomination, in any case she would have risen or sunk on her own effort while this gives/guarantees her attention.

He's smart and fair. She's smart and tough. They'll do good.

She was reportedly offered a position in the Senate leadership.

They'd have to change the rules for her to have anything worthwhile since she's so low in the Majority seniority.

 

[Cicero]

^ She wasn't offered a committee chairmanship, but a position within the caucus (and de facto Senate) leadership, which doesn't follow seniority rules.

But this is smart. It keeps Clinton close by. This is classical politics - it's called "Keep your friends close; keep your (political) enemies even closer."

I vaguely recall a former President surrounding himself with people who opposed him. Not a particularly memorable guy, tall, beard, big hat. I think somebody shot him.

Now the question is: Does Barack have a job for Bill?

I smell a sitcom...

I smell multiple Emmys.

But never fear, even if there's no sitcom, we're going to get the Reality TV version of the show. I wonder what they'll do for sweeps?

Evil twin!

Now the question is: Does Barack have a job for Bill?

Put these posts together....

Me, I'd put him in charge of interns.
