Reports are that Obama will offer Hilary Clinton the Secretary of State position after Thanksgiving. I'm on record as saying she would make an excellent pick. That said, it will become a circus unlike any other. The press loves some drama and they love to build it around the two people they seem to hate most, Bill and Hilary Clinton.

The press has gone as far as saying that the Clintons will set up a shadow government at the state department. There's no telling where this derangement comes from. It's as irrational as their love for George W. Bush in the 2000 campaign. None the less, it is what it is.

Since the press hasn't done their job where the Clintons are concerned, I think the following might surprise you: the Clintons were cleared of any wrong doing in the Whitewater case. Did you know that? As recently as 2002, the Washington Post for example, was still suggesting they did something wrong, even though a number of official investigations, by Republicans, could find nothing to charge them with. Not one, single, solitary charge.

We'll see more examples of this crap in the days and weeks to come. Just remember, it's all bull.
