There's nothing wrong with populating one's cabinet with insiders if they're skillful, ethical and intelligent. After all, where else is one going to find the sort of experience needed to govern? Obama runs the show and appointees have specific, subordinate functions within their cabinet positons. However, if Hillary becomes Secretary of State, it would be a huge disappointment. She ran a sleazy presidential campaign, is highly sycophantic to Israel and has little of the charm and diplomatic skill of her husband. Isn't this the same woman who said in the presidential debates that she wouldn't talk to hostile regimes such as Iran? Now she will be in a diplomatic post where she may be forced to do exactly that. Christopher Hitchens rightly called her pending appointment a 'ludicrous embarassment".
