Obama's National Security Team: After all the leaks, it's now official

You can read the prepared test of his speech here.

Meanwhile, the Clinton haters cannot get over Hillary being named Secretary of State. Witness Bob Woodward via Media Matters:
WOODWARD: She never goes away, she and her husband. It's an amazing national security team that Obama appears to have selected. It's kind of like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." You've got too cool, which might be -- or at least appropriately cool -- General Jones as the national security adviser; Gates is kind of just right, in the middle; and Hillary Clinton, hot.

This is going to be a whole new center of gravity for the news media, for the world. My assessment -- without having any knowledge, really -- is that the economists and the economic team around Obama convinced him that the economic crisis is so deep and going to require so much time, go ahead and give Hillary and Bill the world.


Hey, Bobby!

You've been around a good bit longer than the Clintons have and while I appreciate your reporting on Watergate, you couldn't carry enough water for Bush while it was still a fashionable thing to do, so why don't you fuck off and go away already?

Your BFF,
