Hillary’s incredible, shrinking role

There was no doubt there would be some shaking out of roles considering the personalities involved.

The key is how Obama manages these personalities in a manner that makes for a better foreign policy advisory structure.

The big difference from Bush, is that Obama will encourage the diversity of opinions.

Its too soon to identify the winners or losers in the internal power struggle for who will have the last word with the president...but H Clinton is no shrinking violet.

LOL.....I just saw the link...the Dick Morris byline...the ultimate Hillary hater!

I noticed that too, after I read it. I thought he made some interesting points though. Especially the ones about working with Rice and Powers who helped defeat her in the primary.
Like I said, maybe Hillary is just in the background right now because of the financial situation. Still, she has been unusually quiet. Either way, it will be interesting to follow.

I also wondered why she took the job. It seemed like an odd career choice for me.

I had the same thoughts about Colin Powell...why he would want to take on Cheney and Rumsfeld.
