President-Elect Barack Obama Introduces Foreign Policy Team Today - Video

President-Elect Barack Obama just introduced his Foreign Policy / National Security Team today in Chicago .  At the helm is Vice President-Elect Joe Biden, and the real surprise for some, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as Secretary of State, then Eric Holder as Attorney General, Susan Rice as Ambassaor to the United Nations, Ret. General Jim Jones as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, current Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and Arizona Governor Janet Nepolitano as Director of Homeland Security.  


That Clinton is there at all is a testiment to Obama's determination to have a strong voice and a rival in that position.  It's also speaks to the Clinton hunger for power and recognition in the 21st Century.  In other words, to continue to be a relevant player on tbe World scene.  It also marks the return -- however indirectly -- of former President Bill Clinton to the White House.  Say what you will, but this is the first former President to have been returned to the White House to help serve a new President.  It makes Bill within easy access to President Obama and strengthens Obama's hand on the World Stage: he's got someone considered by some to be the "President of The World" on his side.  


Will former-President Clinton upstage his Secretary of State wife?  Well, a little bit, but that will be tempered by the fact that the Clinton's do work as a team -- they're a couple.  The entire "affair" will be fun to watch.  


If you're keeping score regarding these appointments today, we have three women, two African American, and one Republican and all well-qualified.  Not bad for a day's work, President-Elect Obama.
