Secretary of State goes to...

Hello Blogging World,
It is official, our country's new Secretary of State has been named as Hillary Clinton, Obama's initial rival herself. I was pleased with his selection. Political bloggers and analysts everywhere are spending today trying to dissect Obama's decision. I'd mostly have to agree with Mr. Nichols at Progressive Democrats of America. While many people would like to believe that Obama's selection is pushing him farther away from bringing forth this promised change, I choose to believe that Clinton's policies are more closely aligned with Obama's than the primaries led us to believe. During elections politicians do what the polls tell them is working. They also try to distance themselves from each other without distancing themselves from the voters. For me, the bottom line is Clinton is a strong political figure. I feel she can accomplish what her job mandates while preserving Obama's goals. I just find it ironic that many anti-Clinton voters during the primary were worried about how as a woman she would appear to foreign nations. I guess now we will be able to see that she is most likely a fully capable politician.
