Global warming definitely exists, at least in the relationship between the two former arch-rivals Ex-Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. They are now unquestionably the most powerful man and woman in the Democratic Party (and soon, arguably, the world).
After all the bitterness on the campaign trail, Hillary's masterful speech at the Dem's convention this summer sealed it. In fact, Obama's top aides jumped out of their seats backstage and gave her a standing ovation as she walked by.
Obama soon called to thank her. Fast forward to when--->>
Late last week future President Obama reassured Clinton she would have direct access to him and that she could select her own staff as secretary of state. And the deal was done.
Some people even think ('though most people doubt) that Obama and Clinton could become close friends. There is a lot of mutual respect and they are both extremely intelligent. As it turns out, Obama is much more a centrist that the rabid Obamanistas could have ever believed, which seems to be a page from the Bill Clinton playbook. Dean Acheson was no friend of President Harry Truman and Henry Kissinger, while in agreement with Dick Nixon intellectually, clearly was no personal friend. Rusk, McNamara, et al. were not JFK pals, and were, in fact, more conservative. It will be fascinating to watch the relationship unfold between Clinton and Obama. . .whether it becomes a train wreck, or whether they become close, or even BFFs, as they work the world.

Poem: Raindrops, tears, and snow
By Jack Brummet
Carries raindrops, tears, and snow
That may once have landed
In Johannesberg, Soho,
Bucerias, Constantinople,
Athens, Ketchikan, or Saskatoon.

Poem: Counter-insurgency
By Jack Brummet
You think one thing,
Say another,
And do a third.
---o0o---
You think one thing,
Say another,
And do a third.

Poem: Don't Look Back
Don't look back
Means no regrets
Look back on the good times
But leave the rest
Just ask Lot's wife
And the other pillars of salt
Standing outside Gomorrah
Like Easter Island statues
