Two for one is always a good deal.

Hillary and Bill Clinton must work really well together. At least Barack Obama must think they do.
With Hillary's imminent appointment as Secretary of State, it appears that America's most powerful couple, sorry Brad and Angelina, will be taking their act on the road for a four-year world tour. After all, that's what this appointment is really all about. Two for the price of one.
Barack Obama is a thinking man. He proved this time after time, in debates, in speeches, in his employees, etc. This is the thinking man's pick. I'm no mind reader, but I surmise that Obama's logic went like this: How can I best use the immense international resources of the Clintons, acquired throughout their years as world renowned political icons and international deal makers, to my greatest advantage?
Obama's brain:
I can offer Sen. Clinton a meaningless cabinet post for the sake of graciousness, which she will deny. Then I could always appoint Bill as the ambassador to the U.N. or something of that nature. But this means Hillary will return to her seat in the Senate. A post that puts her in perfect position to help out on, or fight, any legislation I try to pass. I don't want to deal with that headache every day. There's bigger fish to fry out there.
OR
I can offer the Clintons a deal. Everyone knows what I went through with these two in the campaign. It wasn't pretty, but I can't afford to hold a grudge. I need to come out of the gate firing. Bill's been traveling the world for the last eight years acting like he's the international diplomat of fun. He's traveled the globe attending every black-tie soiree he could get to. He's raised millions for great causes. His blackberry probably has the names of every billionaire in the world worth knowing, along with discriminating photos of them in Hef's grotto.
In exchange for access to Bill's blackberry, I'll appoint Hillary as Secretary of State. She's a great negotiator and still has something to prove on the world stage. The payoff for this could be great, the risk is minimal. If things go south it will be their fault, not mine.
We'll go through a made-for-TV vetting process to make sure none of Bills international connections can be proven criminal. Then, the two of them can travel the globe on my behalf, and act as the international deal makers they've always been. They know the Middle East better than anyone. They don't know Bosnia, so good thing we're not at war with them. They can literally be two places at once.
I'll be left alone here at home to push my agenda with only Pelosi and Reid in my way. Everyone wins. Especially America.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. No running in 2012 Hillary, got it?
