Barack Obama has announced his new political team and he has gone for experienced and capable people. It is one of the best moves he can make.
Selecting Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State is the right move. She is a very capable woman and has the experience (and access to the experienced) that is crucial for her role.
Considering that Barack Obama is going into office while the economy is self-pulverized by American businessmen's misguided notion of what pure capitalism should be (i.e. unfettered and unmonitored way of making vulgar profits), he needs able and experienced hands to give ONE-TIGHT-SLAP to the system when the system (and greedy businessmen!) need it.
In life, Barack Obama knows I am sure, intervention is needed so that the less able are taken care of and looked after. Otherwise, the money-begets-money monster squad will leave the disadvantaged behind and you will have a state of union that will be absolutely unacceptable.
It is a challenging time also for Barack Obama because, disturbingly, with the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, it is also a time when the United States is reminded to be ever-vigilant against nutcases who hide behind dubious religious tenets for license to carry out their shitty, murderous work. These religious zealots should be dealt with severely and wiped off the face of this Earth.
