Hill on the Hill?

The benefits of Clinton?

It’s better to have her inside the administration than outside of it (he can keep an eye on her). She’s smart and a good communicator with a strong knowledge of global affairs and existing personal relationships with global leaders. Naming her Secretary of State would somewhat neutralize Bill Clinton

The Cons?

Her policies don't "jive" with Obama's. She tends to lean towards the neo-conservative direction. Her actual experience in foreign affairs is quite minimal. And then there's Bill.

Would Clinton be loyal to the Obama agenda? I think so. Her record is as a focused, detail-oriented, achievement-driven person, striving to do a good job in any task she is assigned or takes on. So long as Obama has a clear agenda, I think she will work hard to execute it. On the other hand, I worry about what her preconditions might be for taking the job.
