I think it is pretty easy to see why Obama picked HRC for Secretary of State. He is simply planning ahead.
A senator can take a year or two off from his/ her work obligations to run for President. Heck, we might not even notice if they aren't doing their job for weeks and weeks on end.
Secretary of State can't exactly do that, now can she?? She can't even utter a word in public to criticize the President she serves!
By selecting her for this position, I think Obama effectively elimnates HRC's option of running for president in 2012 AND does a great job of shutting her mouth to disagreement for 4 years. Pretty smart move, when you think about it!
