Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Big deal, Hillary wasn't exactly an Angel herself during her campaign. Forgive and forget.

Hillary was great during the campaigns, it was the media and certain individuals that were lousy

True to character, not an unexpected act of stupidity by Obama.

If anyone thought Obama has class, this action proves otherwise.

He does have class, and he is surrounding himself with smart intellectuals, that’s why Power is back and why many people from the Clinton administration are back, because he is working with the best people available… it’s funny how conservatives have complained about every single one of President Obama’s selections but have not said anything bad about keeping Robert Gates working with the new government… To me, this is the kind of change that President Barack H. Obama always told us about; to be surrounded by smart people that would help him make wise decisions, to be a uniter and not a divider.

jim-424203..you wish...maybe you could take some of your negative energy, and turn it into some positive energy for the country. If enough good people would focus more on the good of the country, we could effect positive change. You are obviously not a Christian, it says... You can know they are Christians, by the love they show for one another, also, Love your neighbor as yourself.

If Hilary Clinton can live with this woman on her team...problem solved...I think Hilary will have some say so in this latest acquisition...after all POLITICS make Strange Bedfellows..Euphemism for Partners.

And During the campaign Hilary was not a Paragon of virtue...all is fair in love and war..political campaigns are equivalent to war....This is much ado about nothing...if It's not then, maybe Hilary won't get the Nod for the position.

I agreed with her. At the time Hillary was behaving in a monstous way. I trust now Obama's judgement that she will mark up to the standard we expect.

President elect Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do putting qualified people in responsible positions. Governance needs to be returned to the best and brightest and Samantha Powers and Hillary Clinton certainly qualify. I am certain they will act as responsible adults and patriotic citizens and get on with the job of fixing the mess they have been left.

Obama should include more like Power in the State Dept., if Hillary is nominated there and make sure they will not be fired by Hillary later on. This country is hungry for change and new faces must represent it.

When are people are going to learn? Obama is not interested in conflicts, and holding grudges. He wants to focus on smart government, getting thing done for the people and picking competent and qualified people. Hillary did some mean and below the belt moves during the primaries...all the politicians did. Obams is the only one who really tried to stay above the personal attacks, inspite of what was said about him. He really tried to live his faith, instead of using it as a campaign strategy. That was the first change that he made, that not many people noticed...if he continues living his faith, God thorugh him will do miracles, and all the American people, and world will benefit.

Its politics as usual but Hilary a monster how to take that I'm not sure but its something I'm sure they all have a handle on as I get the impression this administration wants to get the job, the whole lot of them. I wish them the best as American gets back on her high horse. Yah Hoo.

And campaiging is so stressful especially in America as its seems to go on for ever as parties fight the good fight in the belief the person they back is best for Amercia. So not surprising words are dropped as the trail gets to supporters from one city to the next as media spins her tale. And what does Obama's Administration want to do they want to get the JOB DONE.

Looks like PE Obama is continuing to put the right people into the right positions. A qualified and intelligent staff member who is no 'yes' person is exactly what each executive needs to keep them on track.

Putting a lady that insulted Hillary like that is not putting the brighest people in his administration and if Obama allows this, he has no class and no taste.
