Title - Who is afraid of Hillary?
Article in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (12-05) by former Brazilian
President Jose Sarney says: "... to be a leader demands the
capability to coordinate rather than impose his will. These
considerations are being taken into account as is reflected by
Barack Obama's decision to constitute a "dream team" without being
afraid of sharing responsibilities with major and experienced
figures. Obama shows that he has not only the charisma but the
courage and the certainty of his structure without fear of leading
leaders... If anyone is afraid of the strong personality of Hillary
Clinton, it doesn't seem to be Barack Obama."
