Hillary:
1. is all about DRAMA.
2. has no foreign relations experience.
3. is a control-freak.
4. disagrees with Obama on the major issue regarding foreign relations, that of meeting with adversaries without PRECONDITIONS.
5. believes in threatening adversaries with violence/attacks/ultimatums.
6. confessed to be waiting to see if Obama got assassinated before she finally conceded the primary and withdrew.
7. mismanaged her campaign horrendously.
8. is handling this possible nomination as if she is entitled to it, and as if it is inevitable - like her run for the presidency.
9. wants to be president and will do ANYTHING to get it.
10. would bring her own team on board and take over control of the position and the agenda.
11. could not be counted on to actually represent Obama's foreign policy.
12. would confuse foreign leaders, who know HRC has aspirations for a presidency and foreign policy positions of her own.
13. would undermine Obama's presidency because she could never be trusted.
14. would dilute and inevitably fracture Obama's attempts to create relationships with foreign countries because no one would ever really know if she was pushing her own agenda to other leaders, or truly representing Obama. Therefore, Obama's presidency would come under suspicion and could not be trusted either...just when foreign leaders have so much hope that Obama will be different than Bush...
15. was in favor of the Iraq war, voted for it, and refuses still to admit that she didn't read the intel, and made a mistake voting for the war.
16. does not believe that the troops should withdraw from Iraq, or that the war should end, so she will make sure it doesn't.
17. recently asked Senator Ted Kennedy to give up his chairmanship of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (which he has devoted his entire life to), so she could have a leadership position in the Senate. This she did while Senator Ted is dying of brain cancer and undergoing chemo. This action on HRC's part is simply deplorable, and reason enough not to entrust the position of SoS to her.

Why would Obama pick her? How is this sitting with the millions of us who gave up jobs, family life, time, energy, and money to support the promise of CHANGE ????
