Tyler Harber, Vice-President and the Director of the Political and Public Affairs Division at Wilson Research Strategies, was recently on Fox & Friends discussing the Obama transition; the meeting between McCain and Obama; and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

“Obama is doing what every great President aspires to do, reunite the country after a tough campaign. Nearly every President-elect in modern times has done the same.”

“Don’t expect Obama to put together a “Team of Rivals.” Remember that this is the same guy that dimissed members of the media from his campaign if their publication failed to endorse him. Obviously, he doesn’t suffer opposition well.”

“Hillary would be a horrible choice for Secretary of State. Sure – she’s likely qualified to do the job and do it well; however, the last thing you want is to add someone to your cabinet that is spending four or eight years running for your job.”

“I think she would accept. She can’t get any higher in Senate leadership currently, so the only way to get more exposure is to take a job like this. It would be great for her, but bad for Obama – and possibly the country.”
