Despite the great rivalry that developed during the race for the Democratic Nominee, President-elect Barack Obama and New York Senetor Hilary Clinton have joined forces since then and now she will be asked to join part of Obama’s national security team. Hilary Clinton was a huge help in the presidential race, campaigning for Obama around the country and now she will be asked to be the Secretary of State, even though in the Democratic nominee race the two clashed on several foreign affairs issues. Clinton believed the Obama did not have the experience over seas that was needed as president and she also believed that the president of the United States should only meet the leaders of nations like Iran and Cuba if there are preconditions set, Obama did not necessarily see the need for preconditions to be previously stated. Obama is said to have been enthusiastic about appointing Clinton as Secretary of State from the beginning believing she will add a lot to his national security team.
