Security Team (With Clinton) Announcement Tomorrow

Following word that Bill Clinton will disclose donors to his foundation, the New York Times has confirmed that Obama will introduce his national security team in Chicago tomorrow, and that team will include Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State:


CHICAGO -- President-elect Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday will seal their rapprochement when he announces her nomination as his secretary of state, Democrats close to the process said Sunday.

Mrs. Clinton, once considered the Democratic frontrunner for president, is flying to Chicago to appear together with the man who beat her for the nomination, a person close to Mrs. Clinton said. The sight of them together, as she joins his administration, would have been thought unlikely just weeks ago, but Mr. Obama concluded she would strengthen his team.

...

In addition to her, Democrats said, Mr. Obama plans to announce that he is keeping Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who has run the Pentagon for the last two years, and will appoint Gen. James L. Jones, a retired Marine commandant, as national security adviser.

The events in India certainly reminded us that Obama will face more than just an economic crisis early in his Presidency.

I'll be excited to see

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at press conferences, in front of that oval on the wall that says "Department of State." She will hopefully be a co-President on foreign policy, as she'd be damned good. She is by far the best pick for his security team. And they've now been "vetted" so you haters can stop whining.
