Hillary Clinton, Senator from the State of New York and 2008 presidential candidate will lead Barack Obama’s Security Team as Secretary of State. Clinton, a former Goldwater Girl,has proven to be strong in terms of national security issues during her tenure in the Senate. She has a consistent centrist record on issues of Homeland Security and National Defense, (Review of Senator Clinton's Record by Roll Call Vote available at Senate.gov - A sample of her record: “Yea”: Hatch Amendment. No. 4037; To retain jurisdiction over the Secret Service in the Committee on the Judiciary and the Chambliss Amendment No. 1271; To prevent funds from being made available to provide assistance to a country which has refused to extradite certain individuals to the United States).
Case in point, Barack Obama could not have made a better choice: Clinton with Gates as Secretary of Defense, and former Clinton Associate, Susan Rice as U.N. Ambassador, will be the voice of reason in this administration. Understanding that her bid for the Presidency would be better launched from the Senate, it is without a doubt that Clinton, by her acceptance of this post – put her country first – not her party and not her own ambition. She is a true patriot.
