First Read: The day in politics by NBC News for NBC News
---------------------------------------------------------
LOOKING BACK AT TODAY.
Hillary Clinton began her first day on the job at the State Department. She
received an enthusiastic welcome.

Later, she was joined by President Obama and Vice President Biden to announce
George Mitchell as special envoy to the Middle East and Richard Holbrooke as
special envoy to South Asia. Present for that announcement was a veritable
who's who of diplomats and Washington power players.

The House voted not to release the TARP funds -- not that it matters, NBC's
Mike Viqueira reports. Disdain for the release of funds in the House is
palatable. It's safe to say that if the Senate hadn't allowed the money to go
through, and it became up to the House, the administration would not have
gotten it.

The Senate Finance Committee approved Treasury Secretary nominee Tim Geithner
by an 18-5 vote, NBC's Carl Sears reports. The nomination now moves to the full
Senate. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/22/1756713.aspx and

A split on the issue of torture emerged in the Obama administration, as the
president's pick to head national intelligence refused to go as far as Attorney
General-designate Eric Holder that waterboarding is torture.

Under Fire: The Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman, Democrat Carl Levin,
wants more information on President Obama's choice for deputy Defense Secretary
because of his lobbying ties. Yesterday, the White House issued new rules
prohibiting former lobbyists from working in the field they sought to
influence, Strickland reports.

The Obama administration's position on the oath of office can now be summarized
as follows: There was no need to re-take the oath. Mr. Obama did it "out of an
abundance of caution." But that same spirit of caution was not abundant enough
to result in re-signing any of the executive orders he signed on Wednesday,
before repeating the oath, NBC's Pete Williams reports.
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/22/1757205.aspx
At an unrelated news conference in the Capitol, the normally chatty Sen. Chuck
Schumer had little to say about Caroline Kennedy's withdrawal from
consideration of taking the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton, NBC's Ken
Strickland reports.
