Partly because I really like her and would find it fascinating, but also because I wonder who her appointments would be for stuff like this.

Would it be inside the beltway known players like this Obama pick or would she go against the grain.

What would the response be from her supporters if she did what all other presidents end up doing regardless of their promise to be an outsider.

Which president didnt do this?

Clinton?

Carter?
