Good ol' Bob Woodard is mystified...
or is he mad?

Woodward Knocks Clinton SoS Choice

Now that it's considered a foregone conclusion that Sen. Hillary Clinton will be the next secretary of State, the chattering class is weighing in, including legendary reporter Bob Woodward. FishbowlDC has obtained an advanced transcript of this weekend's "The Chris Matthews Show", in which the famed Washington Post reporter had this to say about Clinton's nomination as SoS:

Being president is about control, and tell me who ever controlled Bill or Hillary Clinton. They can't control each other. ... I think it's because Warren Buffett and Paul Volcker and others have convinced Obama, 'You're going to have to focus like a laser on the economy. That's issue Number One. And give Hillary and Bill the world.' ... I think people are fantasizing or smoking something if they think Joe Biden's going to call Hillary Clinton up and say, 'This is what we want you to do.'

coming up on Chris Matthews.

My, my, my. "Fantasizing or smoking something"...now Bod's been around DC for a while, and he sounds pretty upset with this selection. A good many folks seem to be rather surprised at the people Barack seems to be picking for different jobs...

In an effort to "reach across the isle..." whatever that means...a lot of folks think it's starting to look like the "same-old-same-old" song and dance.

But...what do I know?

Looks like we are going to be in Iraq for three more years...economy is still spiraling downward...jobs being cut...houses going down...rampant racism, crime, fear, terror, war, resentment...and now Bob thinks PE Obama is smoking something?

The supporting media just might not like feeling like they've been "played"...then turned on...

EDIT:
Actually, on thinking some more about Bob's concern...this is exactly what conservatives were most concerned about with Barack...that he would get caught up in trying to appease the enemy. Not that Hillary and others are necessarily enemies...but...this does seem to be a desire for appeasement...and when facing the kind of challenges we face with terrorism, appeasement is not the answer.
