WASHINGTON(AP) - The Senate has confirmed Hillary Rodham Clinton
to become secretary of state.
The Senate vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the former first
lady despite lingering concerns by some Republicans that her
husband's charitable fundraising overseas could pose a conflict of
interest.
Republicans and Democrat alike say her swift confirmation was
necessary so that President Barack Obama could begin tackling the
major foreign policy issues at hand, including two wars, increased
violence in the Middle East and the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.
Immediately after the vote, Clinton was to be sworn in during a
private ceremony at the Capitol.

I don’t have a problem with this either.  He could have done much worse.  Hillary is a little on the hawkish side and does not take much BS.

Biden in this slot would have been a much more dangerous choice.
