Done Deal?

With the New York Times reporting that Senator Clinton has decided to accept the position of Secretary of State, the time has come to say this:

I do believe in Obama's judgment, but I worry he is making a terrible mistake. The onus will be on Hillary to prove she can be trusted--and to prove that she can control Bill. This will be her job, not his and not theirs together, and the former President will need to understand that.

I meant what I wrote yesterday. Hillary Clinton may prove to be incredibly effective at the State Department, but only if she truly wants to be . She is qualified and known the world over. But to succeed at State she will need to work for, not with and certainly not against, her President.

Mrs. Clinton, it is your move.
