Hillary Clinton sworn in as next secretary of state

Four More Years of a Clinton in the News, give me a break Already!


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton was sworn in as the 67th U.S. secretary of state Wednesday afternoon after the Senate approved her nomination by a vote of 94-2.

Hillary Clinton was sworn in Wednesday in her Senate office by Associate Judge Kathleen Oberly.
Former President Clinton and her Senate staff looked on as Clinton's childhood friend and D.C. appeals court Associate Judge Kathleen Oberly swore her in on a Bible belonging to the former first lady's late father, in a ceremony in her Senate office. The senators who opposed Clinton's confirmation were Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, and David Vitter, R-Louisiana.

Caroline Kennedy: Entitled to Hillary's Senate Seat? http://bucknakedpolitics.typepad.com/buck_naked_politics/2008/12/caroline-kennedy-undeterred-intends-to-seek-clintons-seat.html
That Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg hasn't done much to earn it doesn't seem to count in her eyes against the sense that a little work on Obama's campaign entitles her to have Hillary Clinton's Senate seat.
That's how many people may see it if New York Governor David Paterson chooses Ms. Kennedy as Sen. Clinton's replacement. Gov. Paterson reportedly questioned Ms. Kennedy's credentials, and he's not alone.
If Gov. Paterson picks Ms. Kennedy, people may also see it as proof that all it takes is a name and a few phone calls to snatch up one of the highest positions in our government -- even when our nation faces severe crises on multiple fronts.
