The Case Against Hillary Clinton For Obama’s Secretary Of State
We’ve run various posts applauding reports that President Elect Barack Obama wants Sen. Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State. For the case against her getting that post read David Corn HERE.
One Response to “The Case Against Hillary Clinton For Obama’s Secretary Of State”
1. Hillary Clinton may well consider the State job because (as explained in the following article) a number of Dem dinosaurs (some older than McCain, object of ageist nonsense this year) have seniority over her and won't like her meddling in their affairs or affairs in which they wish to lead.

2. Giving this job to Clinton will help ameliorate the leftist-play-pen-PC-”identity politics” (such as we frequently are treated to by some writers on this site, and sillier things than that out in far left la-la land) and the related interest-and-identity group strife that we saw between Clinton and Obama tribes earlier in the campaign this year and that we still see now*. The silliest people on the far left babble and bubble on behalf of all “oppressed” [sic] groups (and ignore progress over more than forty years; they are stupid) but scarcity and the law of supply and demand affect key government jobs as much as anything else insofar as activists are concerned. Obama has ties to a black elite that has evolved for ages and how long will it be before not only Holder but others are criticized for displacing other “identity politics” groups' “fair” or “proportionate,” etc., ad nauseum, share of jobs?

3. Corn and people like him no doubt would be relieved if Obama did something like, say, choosing William Ayers to be the next Secretary of Education. (Sorry, Corn, but Stalin cannot substitute for Obama and there is no Molotov to select in place of Clinton for Secretary of State.)
* Note to GBLT community — you're not in the news; you're dwarfed by black and female identity groups and politics. You are _way_ down on the hierarchy (note correct use of that anti-PC word) and openly assumed and expected to get out of the “feminazis'” or “feministas'” way right now.
