I said this in another thread, but I think Obama is playing by the old adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Whether or not she is an "enemy" is a matter of opinion. Whether or not she would have been a constituency in the Senate which would have to be accounted for and could possibly be an obstacle seems to be a definite possibility, if not a certainty.

By appointing HRC to the SoS post, he's effectively removed her ability to be an obstacle and further, he makes it in her best interest that his administration does well.

A master stroke, IMHO.
