This morning, President-elect Barack Obama announced his national security team: Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Bob Gates as Secretary of Defense, Jim Jones as National Security Adviser, and Susan Rice as Ambassador to the UN.
This is all most bizarre because as anyone who watched Fox "news" during the Democratic National Convention can tell you, the Democrat (sic) Party is in shambles. Hillary supporters, dubbed PUMA's (Party Unity My Ass), were taking to the streets denouncing Obama in front of every Fox camera that they could find. Only to suspiciously drive away in their Hummer moments later, off to the next photo op. The Democrat (sic) Party was on the verge of implosion.
So how can it be that after all of this inner-party turmoil, Obama can select Hillary as Secretary of State? Isn't she an arch enemy? A traitor to her own political party? It just doesn't make any sense.
Note to Fox: Next time you decide to "create" news instead of reporting news, have your shills drive off in a Prius or a Honda. No one with half a brain would ever really believe that Hillary fanatics would drive a Hummer. The key to any successful con is in the details. You should know that by now.
OK. Enough of me being silly. It really is great that Hillary will be so deeply involved in Team Obama. It's very exciting. Although, when Obama introduced her this morning as his "dear friend", that may have been just a little over the top. So far, so good.
