One of my concerns about Obama was that he was more of a thought guy and not a nuts and bolts worker, Lizzie, this sentiment including "Obama is a figurative leader" from a recent post and therefore Hillary would be better because she's a get things done person?... What leads you to think this? At this juncture..2 years after this campaign began?... Obviously, I disagree with you yet I'm genuinely curious about how you formulated this opinion.. Edit: I agree that she has the potential to be a great SoS..

Obama is a "thought" guy. It's about time we got a thinker in the White House. In addition, he knows how to deploy and employ all those worker types. It's about darn time we got a real leader. I'm just ecstatic. This guy is already turning out to be everything that was advertised. I'm sure Hillary will do a great job as SecState and I've noticed he's picking quite a few Clinton-era economy folks, who are noted fiscal conservatives. Nice moves. He also didn't bow to Republican pressure and is sending his kids to a private school. Good for him. Family comes above all else and you do what you can do for your family. Give them the very best education. Screw everyone else's opinion.
