On Newshour tonight, Mark Shields became the first journalist I have heard ask the question, If Clinton joins Emmanuel et al, how is this change?
Hillary for Change
Those who have said the same here have been criticized of not keeping the faith in Barack's credibility and of raising a strawman, chided to wait and see until January or year from now.
Really want to see real change. Not saying Hillary cannot be that change. She certainly has a lot of people here behind her.
Went to Google News and could not find verification. Held my nose and went to Drudge who has a cut pic of the dynamic duo and links through to Telegraph in UK article, Hillary Clinton in line for top job in Barack Obama cabinet which unsurprisingly reprises the whole sad chapter.
Snip
seemed that the meeting with Mrs Clinton, who campaigned extensively for him after he finally secured the Democratic nomination in June, was partly designed by Mr Obama to be seen as an act of magnanimity. On Monday, he is due to meet John McCain, whom he beat soundly in the general election.
A potential stumbling block would be Mr Clinton's foreign business dealing, which have included a controversial 2005 visit to Kazakhstan to meet the country's dictatorial President Nursultan Nazarbayev, criticised by the US State Department for his poor human rights record.
He was accompanied by a Canadian financier who later donated $31 million to the Clinton Foundation and entered into a major deal with Kazakhstan's state-owned uranium agency.

her husband would almost certainly have to disclose all donations to his foundation from foreign countries and her role might limit his global activities.
During his campaign, Mr Obama's surrounded himself with loyalists. He was scathing about Mrs Clinton's foreign policy experience, and his advisers enthusiastically highlighted her exaggerations about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire and being "instrumental" in securing peace in Northern Ireland.
For her part, Mrs Clinton said that Mr Obama's campaign was based on a single anti-war speech about Iraq in 2002 and ran an advertisement suggesting he was dangerously inexperienced and only she had the track record needed to respond to a "3am phone call" in the White House.
You can be shit sure that this will be drug up by the msm ad nauseum if Hillary accepts. But who cares?
What on earth does he have in mind for John McCain, McCain-Obama Meeting Set in Motion by Graham? Lindsay Graham. Shiver. Spit.
A meeting is scheduled to talk about how they could work together. SecDef? (snark)
I believe in forgiveness and reconciliation, but this would be another challenge for me. I would rather see Hillary there. We need to cut that military budget and use the money to retool.
Women in the New Administration
We have already had women as Secretary of State.
If Hillary were to accept, I hope she would bring change we can believe, and the world can believe in, to that office. Ditch the Axis of Evil talk, and bring the world closer together.
If Hillary Clinton, under Obama's direction, retrain all the neocon hires of the last 8 years at State and bring back the bacon in relations with problem countries without having to show how tough she is, I will dance in the street again!
