Today Big news which was kind of old new became official. Presidential elect Barack Obama chose his past competitor Hilary Clinton as his Secretary of State. This was a wise decision as she has experience and his biggest chance of losing this last election was that when he was elected he lost much of the support from Clinton supporters. Hilary Clinton has more experience than him and has connections all around the world. This is exciting as I went to her speech when she campaigned in Spokane and actually was asked to sit behind her at the speech, I respectively declined as I knew I was only being chosen because I was one of the few young men there and felt it wrong since I knew I did not fully respect her and would not enjoy the experience as much as someone else there. So I kind of met a celerity I guess. But also Obama made some other smart decisions such as keeping Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Gates has been credited with much of the success of the surge. Bush made a good decision switching to Gates in my opinion and I believe so is Obama. So Obama has made some good decisions so far in this candidacy, lets all hope for more.
