I've loved her and I have hated her.
I don't always agree with her decisions. I loathed her during the primaries. I still refuse to help pay for her campaign debt.
However, her confirmation hearing for SOS brought out the best in her. Hillary struck me that day as one hell of a taskmaster. She did her homework and was absolutely thorough in her understanding of the job.
Then today, when I saw the footage of her at her first day on the job, I was impressed by the reaction the people of the State Dept. had to her walking into the lobby. I figure they know more about how Clinton will be as SOS than I do, and I was relieved to see their response.
It's still early. I still have my doubts. Only time will tell how this will play out. But for the sake of the bridges we have to repair to the rest of the world, I am hopeful that this appointment will work out.
