Obama seems conflicted with his need for self importance. His press conference with his made up office of the President-Elect seal was almost as embarrassing as his similar fiasco during the campaign.

I suspect the deal with Hillary was to get her out of the loop for 2012. Too bad she cannot take the pay increase because of the Constitutional problem with it. Why would she take it?

Some of Obama's appointments have been remarkably more centrist than his carefully groomed image prior to the general election.

Some of his appointments have been remarkably bone headed. Holder and Rice both have major ethical issues hanging over them.

I never was a great fan of BHO and it seems to me that the Clintons took over this administration and BHO will be what he is best a puppet talking popular sound bytes.

How this mix will work out, I do not know, for sure there will be a lot of power struggles and Bill will enrich himself tremendously
