Cabinet post for Clinton roils Obamaland - Ben Smith - Politico.com

It’s not playing quite as well, however, in some precincts of Obamaland. From his supporters on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, to campaign aides of the soon-to-be commander-in-chief, there’s a sense of ambivalence about giving a top political plum to a woman they spent 18 months hammering as the compromised standard-bearer of an era that deserves to be forgotten.

Bwahahahaha!

Enjoy your messiah, suckers!

“The silver lining, for those of us who are skeptical, is that it drastically limits the number of other Clinton administration alums that he can appoint, and that’s a blessing,” Kuttner said.

Lessee, former Clintonite Rahm Emanuel in charge of the White House, the Demon herself in charge of State…some drastic limits there, Kuttner.

Actually, though, I tend to view this with alarm, because in the end, it will further consolidate Obama’s power, both over his own party and caucuses, and also over the mindless middle that just loves kissy-face huggybear kumbayah politics.
