It seems like the trickle of cabinet appointments is turning into a stream for the growing Obama administration. Hillary Clinton has reportedly accepted the offer for Secretary of State. The two main obstacles: her husbands conflicts of interest and whether she was actually interested, seem to have been worked out. Though they were somewhat different on matters of foreign policy, I don’t believe Clinton will be a rogue player within the administration. She’s disciplined and she knows which way the wind blows. I think she will be a reliable asset to Obama.

What could actually be a much more important post, given the state of the economy, appears to have been filled today.  Timothy Geithner seems to be the man who will have the unenviable task of overseeing the countries economy in it’s worst moment since the Great Depression. Geithner is currently president of the New York reserve bank.
