keep clinton away from the white house.

I agree, not because I'm afraid of her but because I don't think that she's qualified. Being First Lady doesn't count as experience.

He read a book on Lincoln, who pulled all of the other Presidential opponents in the race into his Cabinet. Sort of a 'keep your enemies closer' outlook, I guess...;) So it's rumored that's the reason.

Could be worse, Roosevelt would send them as ambassadors to the other side of the planet...;)

We'll see how it goes. I'm reserving judgment until he has his finger on the button...as it were...;)

If Hillary is busy dealing with Obama's foreign policy as Sec of State, she will be too busy to inflict her Jack Thompson-supporting agenda on the rest of us...

It will be VERY awkward for Obama & Hillary to get along during cabinet meetings.

Obama also needs to keep Robert Gates as defense secretary
for most of his administration, not for one extra year.

Now that Obama has started to reveal the tone of his future presidency through his choices for Cabinet officials, including a number of qualified Republican candidates, what is going to happen to the hysterical crybaby blubbering about how Obama is going to haul everyone who disagrees with him off to the gulag, murder white people in the streets, sell crack to schoolchildren, inaugurate a New Age apocalypse, etc., etc., etc.?

I say this because I am in fact banned user 'chever', and I'd just like to come back to LOL at not only the idiots who screamed and cried when Obama got elected, but also whoever banned me for calling them like I saw them: asses and crybabies. Go on and ban me again; you can bet your ass I'll be back.

BTW, guys, I got accepted to a great university to complete my computer science and electrical engineering degrees: unlike nearly all of the histrionic Obama bashers here, I'm going to make more than $20k a year. At least when I return from teaching English in Taiwan. NYAH HAH HAH HAH

HEY, it's not nice to taunt people who make less money than you. Some people can't afford to go to as great a university as you. Some people aren't computer geeks like you are, and some people, myself included, can't go into engineering because we do horribly with algebra. So, how about you quit being so arrogant and cocky, and remember that some people are less fortunate than you are.
