The Dragon Lady Shall Eradicate Poverty and Restore Electricity

Seems Barack is enthroning the old half-dead Clinton Administration as the agents for "change". Bill Richardson, Rahl Emmanuel and, surprise, the Dragon Lady herself. Michael Reagan put is succinctly, When LBJ named an old foe to a post in his administration, he explained that it was better to have the camel inside the tent urinating out, than outside the tent urinating in.

They'll be plenty of damage inside the tent before stench of urine is detectable inside the White House (not to mention the double and triple humps?).

This snippet of information that is cross-referenced in several stories is most intriguing:

Obama's choice of Clinton was finalized after her husband, former president Bill Clinton, agreed to release the names of donors to his presidential library and foundation.

Obama held the carrot on a stick in front of the Clintons and said the price of Bill Clinton's donor list, Hillary was given her appointment? It was about money. Washington is a-changing.

The former first lady was a strong advocate for development programs for women - such as loan assistance to help women in third-world nations start small businesses, giving them both a higher household income as well as a stronger role in the local economy, her supporters note. Such development programs can be crucial forces in empowering women, they said.

The sheer star power Clinton offers is in itself a boost for women, said Representative James McGovern, a Worcester Democrat and early supporter of Clinton's presidential run. McGovern, who was recently in rural Ecuador, said local women clamored to know whether Clinton indeed was in line to head the State Department.

"Women in these poor villages were beaming at the thought that Hillary might be the next secretary of state," McGovern said. "Women in indigenous communities where we visited, where there is no electricity, were excited about this possibility."


The fix is in for Dafur: Hillary shall eradicate poverty, restore electricity and set women up with small businesses who are living under dictatorship and oppression.

It really is a shame the Bush Administration didn't think of this.
