Who Do You Want To Answer The Phone at 3AM?

Apparently, Barack Obama was listening to those campaign ads, too.

Remember back in late spring when Hillary Clinton was still battling Obama for the Democratic nomination, she ran a very effective TV ad attacking Obama's lack of experience?

"It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep," the announcer says. "But there's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing — something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call."

Yesterday, Barack Obama announced Hillary Clinton as his choice for Secretary of State, arguably one of the most important cabinet positions in any President's administration. Her job will be acting as the "voice of America" to the world's governments, meeting face-to-face with foreign heads of government and carrying the official position of the United States to them.

At the very least, Obama is certainly surrounding himself with experienced people to counsel him as President. Hillary finds herself in a very influential position on the world stage. Presumably, Barack will forward the White House phone at night to Hillary's number.
