Why did Obama nominate Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State? Wasn't there a lot of disagreement before?

Hillary Clinton's possible appointment as Secretary of State has caused a lot of discussion. Even their closest advisers and allies are talking about the advantages and disadvantages of establishing such a close cooperative relationship, and whether former President Bill Clinton will make the problem more complicated.

Although Obama has never seriously considered Hillary as his running mate, one of his aides said that he is "confident enough to send a message about the United States to the world, and Hillary can achieve this goal as Secretary of State".

If she is elected Secretary of State, Obama can unite and activate the Democratic Party, show the world that he is serious in diplomacy and send a substantive political signal to women.

Obama is obviously in danger, and the president-elect is inextricably linked with the Clintons. Obama said he would bring real change to Washington, and the appointment of Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State may greatly reduce his promise.

Another danger he faces is that if Mrs. Clinton is not appointed to a senior position, it may reopen the scars within the Democratic Party, especially among female Democrats.

The possible negative effect of Mrs. Clinton's senior cabinet position is that she will have to disclose more information about Clinton's income, especially from overseas channels and sponsors of her presidential library.

Obama intends to recruit Hillary into the cabinet. On the one hand, it may be because she doesn't want Hillary to interfere in the government's domestic decision-making; On the other hand, it is usually not convenient for current cabinet members to play political tricks. No matter how bad Obama's first term was, as long as Hillary entered the cabinet, he lost a challenger when he sought re-election in 20 12.

Hillary's assistant said that what to do next depends entirely on Hillary's wishes. "Hillary must make up her own mind," said Terry mcauliffe, her campaign manager. "She is an excellent senator, and health care is also the cause she wants to continue to fight for. But as Secretary of State, she will have 100% recognition. "

Former US President Bill Clinton 16 said that his wife Hillary Clinton was "very qualified" for the post of Secretary of State. At a seminar organized by Kuwait National Bank, Clinton bluntly said that if President-elect Obama chooses Hillary as the next Secretary of State, "I think she will be very qualified".
