1. That was interesting, and I'm glad he mentioned what Joe's role will be in

all this...as he sees it.

2. Made me feel better, too.

This administration has to work together as seamlessly as the campaign team did. It was the key to the extraordinary success of the Obama/Biden ticket, and it is the key to a successful Obama/Biden administration.

I have no problem with Hillary as SOS (although there are others I would have preferred), with the exception of a possible negative impact on the functioning of the team, creating discord and disharmony. Hillary/Bill are strong-willed people and like to have things go their way. And although I know Hillary and Joe have a good relationship, I had/have some concerns about how their differing opinions on foreign policy might play out. Obviously, Joe is more experienced by far, but I saw the possibility of Obama stuck in the middle between the two.

The interview you posted helped allay some of those concerns. I hope he is right. This administration offers promise, like no other in my memory. I want that promise to be realized.
