Team Hillary!

Hillary sworn in as Secretary of State

The Senate finally approved Hillary Clinton's nomination as the 67th Secretary of State, with a vote of 94 - 2. She was sworn in Wednesday afternoon by Judge Kathleen Oberly - a friend of hers. 

There was no question she would get the approval, however, it iwas a bit strange hearing the discussions regarding the contributions that Bill Clinton has received from Mid-East officials for his Foundation. Regardless, he signed a pact with the new Obama administration that he would cut those contributions down, thereby eliminating any potential conflict of interest for the new Secretary of State - Hillary.

As a staunch "Team Hillary" member, I am overwhelmed with excitement to see how she shapes the global political arena. 

This is one tough woman; one fierce politician, and one bad-ass Secretary of State.
