Back in November, I wrote that then President-elect Obama was moving to neutralise Hillary Clinton by appointing her his Cabinet. Today, in a story about President Obama’s quest to build the most influential West Wing ever and concentrate power in The White House, Politico (THE blog for Washington watchers) observes how he has subsumed the US State Department, and Clinton, by appointing special presidential envoys to deal with the two most urgent diplomatic files. Can’t say I didn’t tell you.
