<p>As the world (and Wall Street) watch breathlessly to see the pieces of Obama&#8217;s financial team, the punditocracy is only concerned about one thing &#8212; Hillary Rodham Clinton.  I am sure you guessed it if you have watched any of the talk shows.   Many progressives fear her nomination as Secretary of State, like it is the magic elixer to wake the Princess up from the Obama juice they have been drinking for months.   As the realism of Obama being human, not &#8220;Jesus Christ Superstar&#8221; sinks in, watch the progressives begin to foam as their dreams a non-centrist Obama administration slinks straight through Foggy Bottom and right into the Patomic.   It appears that no matter what Obama does or does not do, it will not live up to the unrealistic expectations of the far left, who are determined from Day 1 to begin complaining about his governing.  I have one word for this:  SAD.</p>
