Barack Obama named Senator Hillary Clinton, his former rival for the Presidential Democratic candidate in this past election, as his Secretary of State today.
During a press conference earlier today in Chicago, Obama stated "I have known Hillary Clinton as a friend, a colleague, a source of counsel, and as a campaign opponent. She possesses an extraordinary intelligence and toughness, and a remarkable work ethic. Hillary's appointment is a sign to friend and foe of the seriousness of my commitment to renew American diplomacy and restore our alliances."
