Hillary Shortlisted for US SecState

I don't see this as a positive development. The whole Clinton era was steeped in Atlanticist bias, and putting Hillary in charge of foreign policy is not what I'd call ushering in 'change'.

If Obama is ironically going to be about status quo, then it would be better that he avoid overturning established trade policy in favour of protectionism.

I wouldn't mind seeing someone else like John Kerry or Bill Richardson being made Secretary of State instead. They're not so Atlanticist, and besides Bill Richardson helped deliver the hispanic vote to Obama, which he should not take for granted.

OMG

Having Hillary Clinton in any administration or any political position means nothing but sleaze.

I want to see Barack Obama's administration succeed.

Taking Hillary Clinton on board is a big mistake.

One of the most corrupt court districts happens to be Hillary's.

A constituent of US Senator in New York had concerns about the federal judge nominee, Wesley, also a favorite of George W. Bush. Judge Wesley seems to be a team player out to keep judicial misconduct secret and those expose, jailed.

Elena Sassower wanted to warn Hillary Clinton about the shenanigans of Judge Wesley, so Clinton allegedly saw to it that Sassower was jailed to shut her up about the truth. [more info]
