Obama’s genius in selecting Clinton as Secretary of State

Obama’s true brilliance is revealed in his choice of HRC for SecState

Clintoons MUST report their secretive list of contributors to the shadowy library, the modern technique for laundering money to public servants. It’s revealed today that $500M has been shoveled at Bubba Inc from foreign interests, and the Clintons will never be able to stop defending their integrity, and their true committment to the welfare of the American people now that the slush fund has been made public.  Hannity and other noise generators will trumpet these facts for the rest of their careers.

Meanwhile, any dealing Clinton makes as SecState will be filtered through this baggage and she will have a never ending task of demonstrating how her foreign activities dont have any connection to the slush fund and their personal interests. In any event, voters dont care about foreign policy as long as their children dont get conscripted for war, and properly so. Since it’s impossible to ever declare a victory of diplomacy, Clinton will have no achievements to speak of that can differentiate her from Obama’s policy since he will get to take any creditshe gains by declaring it a triumph for his administration.

I really think this is Clinton saying she accepts that she won’t be President, and has settled for the ability to maintain the lines of finance and communication to the slush fund for Bubba Inc. After some years as Sec State, she will probably ask to be Supreme Court judge where her legacy can be consumated. What a distatsteful thought.

Meanwhile Obama has demonstrated he understands the power of the concept of funding  in the public consciousness by opting for the democratic, principled, and more importantly, untraceable method of miliions of anonymous credit card donors spontaneously supporting him. This is cash that doesnt even have to be filtered thru the laundry, because of the way they turned off credit card address validation right as the surge of donations occurred.  Brilliant. He has secured an unassailable war chest for all future projects after his Presidency. I am sure he is studying how to maintain the same level of anonymity for future contributions to his foundation and library when his tour as President is over.  All he has to do is get through his term without any mud sticking to him and he will be Saint for Life. He will make Clinton look amatuerish when it comes to international influence after his term.

Brilliant.  Mao would be proud.
