Reply #24: I've never been a Clinton apologist, and I have to admit I was [View All]

skeptical (which was undeserved and unfair) that she would be able to refrain from politicizing this appointment.

I was wrong.

I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Sec. Clinton because her handling of this office has been nothing but exemplary. I'm personally thrilled because I can laud and support her fully and without hesitation, something I used to feel uncomfortable in not being able to do so.

As far as I'm concerned, my past feelings carry no weight, and I have so much admiration for this woman/person/politician/public servant because SHE is one of the few in this new administration who have not caused a flurry of discord or been the focus of diversionary rumor and gossip - she has simply taken responsibility for her post, hit the ground running and been impervious to the nonsense that isn't relevant to her very crucial work.

She's absolutely fantastic and clearly proving that she has the highest degree of cred, skills, knowledge, experience and intangible qualities that make her great rather than good.

She's bloody superb, and Obama would be better served if he had more in his cabinet of her caliber.
