WOW! Look at that WARM Welcome at Foggy Bottom.
I suspect this is more about the last crew leaving town than it is about Hilary Clinton. The CAREER foreign service is back in vogue - as it should be.

2. I agree with you.
All I have to say, and I know there will be some who will jump on me with pairs of cleats, is that if Hillary and her husband don't tow the line now and things get balled up because of something directly attributable to them, I will work to see them drummed out of DC permanently.

8. It's my opinion.
Deal with it. The Clintons are using up their last chance with me. I wasn't thrilled with the Hillary's selection for such a prominent position because of all the baggage she and Bill drag around with them. On these boards, I've never hidden my opinions about them. There is much at stake now and I hope they keep that in mind.

12. So go join the freepers in trying to drum them out of DC.
They've been at it for 16 years, and this is what they - and you - get.

Enjoy. :*

14. New here. But i think Hillary was magnificant in her greeting today.
No notes, inspired, sincere, and competent. The employees seemed thrilled and hopeful. This selection shows that Obama is smart and unafraid to work with other smart people...even those who were his opponents in the past. Wake up. The true adults are in charge now. If only the people they serve would grow up.

16. I agree with you also.
I heard her remarks and I heard her confirmation hearing. I have no problem with her intelligence and her ability. I do have a problem with Bill and his donor list.

10. How to turn a triumph into a smear.
No Republican could have done better. Thank you for your concern.

3. I've never seen such a grand, public display...
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 09:32 AM by TwoSparkles
...when the new SOS has taken over.

Maybe I missed this, in years past.

I'm watching it too, and wondering why all of this pomp and circumstance?

I don't have all of the answers, but it seems symbolic--and a clear message
is being sent to many that things are not going to be the same. And also,
that there is overwhelming support for thing to change.

...just not sure what it all means yet.
