Clinton/Obama on the Same Team

So, Senator Biden and Senator Clinton were once President Elect Obama's competitors at one point.  This does not mean they cannot merge for the common good of the people.  The media keeps making the comment that these individuals chosen to serve on Obama's team were once his opponents and they made certain remarks while on the campaign trail.  Senator Biden made comments that Senator Obama was not ready to be President and Senator Clinton ran an ad suggesting that Obama was not prepared to take a  3:00AM call about a possible security issue.  Well now Mr.  Obama can take that call and pass it on to Senator - soon to be Secretary of State -  Clinton - Its all good!!!!

Big corporations merge with their competitors all the time.  They come together and discuss what's in everyone's best interest.   The result is a win-win for all.  Of course this comes with a lot of skillful negotiations and everyone has their own agenda.  The trick is to highlight what you are giving up or giving to the other party, as opposed to what you what to receive. 

So what if they bad-talked each other during the campaign?  The important thing is putting together a skillful, experienced and diplomatic team,  that  the president-elect knows will represent him well.  He will have to call on them for advice and solutions.  He knows he cannot make all the decisions himself so its in his best interest to appoint  the best, even if they fought in the past.  its just business!!!
