I have complete faith in Obama, that he knows exactly what he is doing. He is a very clever man and I can see that he is creating a very strong back up system for the Government under his Presidency.

I have no hesitation whatsoever, giving him his dues when it comes to changing things around for the States.
If he does put Hilary in as Secretary of State I bet that he has thoroughly thought every aspect of this situation over very careful, with his back up people. No, I do not think that it will create another Clinton White House, Obama is too intelligent and clever for that. Every move he makes will be done with much thought and input by those around him.

Have no fear - Obama's here.

I think Senator Clinton is very knowledgeable, is tough enough, works very hard, is very smart and quick, and especially during her time in the Senate has informed herself well on any subject she has worked on. I am a tad hesitant about her temperament, the way she comes off sometimes, but am willing to see how she does.

Looking at all the foreign relations and national security nominations President-Elect Obama made today; I'm very hopeful. This is one great team so far.

I never thought having Senator Clinton coming on as a member of the Cabinet would result in a "Clinton" White House; and today's announcements have only reinforced that perception for me.

I am glad that he picked Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. She's has political expertise, a tough hide, and plenty of intelligence. I believe Hillary will look out for the interests of the USA.

One thing that is going to come to light very shortly, is the fact that as a Senator, Hillary voted to increase the salary of the Secretary of State. According to Constitutional Law, she now cannot hold that office until her term as Senator is up. It will be interesting to see if anyone picks that up.

I don't think Obama is going to let Hillary be in charge of the White House. He is a strong willed person.

I feel pretty good about all of his choices, so far.
