How keeping his enemies close will backfire on Obama


The return of Bill

I think nominating Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is a mistake.

Hillary comes with a very large bit of luggage named Bill.

By making Hillary the official conduit for foreign policy, Bill becomes the unofficial conduit, An unofficial conduit that is plugged into the Democrat Party Machine, and the remains of his own political machine.

This is going to cost Obama big time, and most of it won't make the headlines.

Bill just became the consigliere, one who isn't all that beholden to Obama. And Bill plays the political game much better than Obama. Since Bill doesn't have to be in the public eye, he's got an advantage.

Or maybe that is what Obama is counting on. Still, I don't think he's got the strength to ride herd on Bill.

It certainly doesn't say a lot that is good about Hillary. She was a power in the Senate, she's going to be a water carrier as Secretary of State.
