For die hard Obama supporters whose passions reached zeniths during the primary campaign pitting him against Hillary Clinton, this is a moment of transformation, much indeed like the very day of That One's election.
And nowhere is this more true than in places of New York State where the support of Barack Obama ran highest, notably, the great borough of Brooklyn.
Clinton's reported acceptance of the invitation to be Secretary of States, and Bill Clinton's willingness to make concessions in his portfolio to accommodate concerns of Obama advisers, is like a truce beyond truces.
It is the ultimate reaching of understanding between ego-driven players who have the interests of their country and their party as high on their list of interests as their own ambitions, which are demonstrably very high.
This development is a true breaking of the mold, the dawning of a new style of managing and politics that brings to mind the awakenings of forty years ago when the thoughtful were perusing books like The Morning of the Magicians and other works that blended old traditions with new ones, all the better to open the inner eyes and see the way ahead.
