It’s the latest scuttlebutte on Clinton at State.
The conservatives started talking about this one days ago and I wasn’t going to even bring it up, but NBC’s Pete Williams, in a quick clip, explains the legal aspects, as well as the precedent.
It’s not the first time.
UDPATE: Regarding Obama’s press conference today, CNN’s Ed Henry asked Obama the question that’s been rumbling around in some quarters: You promised change, but how can bringing in people of Washington, see Rahm, Clinton, Volker, et al. mean change? Obama’s answer was pitch perfect. Paraphrased, he said that it would be really silly to freeze out people of prior administrations, including those familiar with our economic realities, just because they’d served a prior president. Obama wants people of experience who know how to get things done. But he refused to talk about Clinton or anyone else not yet formally named as part of his cabinet. Obama finished by saying, the change will start with him and that it’s his responsibility to enact it through his vision. It’s what so many have already started doubting about Obama. That he won’t implement his vision for his presidency. Patience is not in great supply, but around here President-elect Obama will get plenty of it. He and his team deserve a chance to prove themselves and that’s exactly what they’re going to get.
