Meanwhile, Obama loyalists wonder whether the same people who attacked Obama on foreign policy during the primaries can implement Obama’s agenda from State Dept. perches. Look, Clinton and Obama are both smart people. We're sure their one-on-one relationship would be fine. See here's the thing: Fine is not good enough. It has to be excellent. And when you hire a Clinton, you hire more than just that one person, you get the entire package. If Clinton becomes secretary of state, it’s possible that the fissures between her loyalists and Obama’s would be a significant undercurrent of the administration’s foreign-policy decision-making We stil think that Clinton is not the right job for the SecState job. Not because she is not good or qualified? She is way too good and qualified and it is only selling her short.
