The rumors were true. The so announced proposal from Barack Obama to Hillary Rodham Clinton to become Secretary of State is official.
This seems to be really a very different kind of government in US. In previous presidencies I cannot envision this same kind of phenomena, a President-elect choosing people who supposedly are rivals, one of his most important rivals indeed.
Also, Hillary is being really an admirable person, letting go her aspirations and her natural opposition to a President who came from nowhere and ended with her dream to be the first woman President, at least for now.
Definitely, I like to see a intelligent and strong person in that position, someone who I believe will send the message that US is taking seriously who will take charge of foreign affairs, not like previous State Secretaries. Hope this improves the image of US in the exterior, because for now we only see a country who had in its
wheel someone who let anyone down. And don't take me wrong, I really wish George Bush would have done better, because US and the world won't be in this mess right now.

Hillary loses her momentum
Hillary Clinton, a woman who seems to have a very good chance to be the firs woman in the Presidency of the United States, lost her first test yesterday. Barack Obama won the caucus in Iowa, giving Clinton a message.
Which message is this? That's something her team will like to study carefully. Maybe she has been too ambiguous in her position of the themes that interest the americans. Maybe she has been too rough in others. The issue is to find a better strategy to convince the democrats to give her their trust.
I, as a woman, will like to see how a woman performs in the leadership of one of the most important nations in the world. Will she be better than man? Will she make the same kind of mistakes than men in this job? Will she feel the same or more pressure?
But at the end I think that a president who has a better internal and foreign way to lead the USA will be better for that country and the ones affected by it.
