Why can't you get over it? [View All]

[BzaDem]

When Obama won, nearly all Hillary supporters still here immediately got behind the nominee. Not just nominally -- they quickly warmed up to Obama, saw his many positive qualities, and worked their heart out for him to be the next president. And now they are very excited that he will be president, and think he will do a great job.

Yet when the possibility emerges that he might pick Senator Clinton to be Secretary of State, people flip out. Not because she isn't qualified (regardless of what people here might say, few would seriously argue that she is not qualified for that position). Not because they think Clinton will commandeer Obama's presidency (most people realize that the Secretary of State reports directly to the President, and carries out the policies of the President and no one else). It is because they still can't get over the primary fight.

Why can't you (you know who you are) get over it? Your primary opponents got over it almost immediately. Why can't you get over it after 6 months? What would be the gigantic problem if Obama picked Hillary to be Secretary of State?
