Obama may pick Hillary for Sec of State

I think Obama is trying to be Lincoln-like in putting his past opponents in his Cabinet. He has talked with McCain about some role in his administration and now has talked to Hillary about being his Sec. of State. Obama is being extremely smart in doing this. It heals the country, makes bipartisan deals more likely to come about, and he would get some opposing arguments to his ideas and make him think them through better. That was one thing (of about a hundred or more) wrong with Bush's administration. He was surrounded by "yes men" so that any lamebrained idea he had was praised instead of picked apart. It worked for Lincoln. It should work for Obama. Smart man!
