It's always good to keep rivals close by :). Obama has chosen a great team. I think she made the right choice in accepting this position, she is perfect for it.

ReplyDeleteYep keep your "frenimies" close. But I actually think this is a perfect choice for both.
ReplyDeleteWould have liked to see her as VP instead but it is a good move none the less ... Andrew (Canada)
