Grading the Obama Administration
After Obama's first few months in office, TIME's Senior Political Analyst Mark Halperin assesses the early performances of key White House and other Washington players
Exactly what Obama was counting on when he asked her to join the team: a significant, powerful, worldly, respected figure who could hit the ground running. So far she's playing nicely with others, hired an all-star team, and is working hard at the job with a great sense of history and opportunity. Is hearkening back to her Senate days by running a tight ship and avoiding controversy. Despite occasionally tweaking the president (as with his engagement with foreign strongmen), she shows no signs of being anything other than a loyal advocate and a reliable surrogate.
