George's Bottom Line

That 7.6 million can be forgiven. That's not an issue. How does George know that she doesn't want it. She isn't talking, and neither is Obama. I hope she does take it. We need some competent people after 8 lonnnnggg years.

George

did you see the Mary Steenburgen interview this morning...

the giving up independence thing...is small...

the difference between being a Senator and SOS...isn't significant...c'mon they both restrict independence...

this is a red herring...

she wants it and if all is clear with Bill's dealings...she'll be it.

george your sources suck. Stop trying to make her look indecisive she has a lot to lose.

also forgot to add Obama hasnt officially said he offered to her so whats up with that.

I cannot see Hillary allowing all this investigation to go on with Bill if she did not want the job. Why go through all that stuff if she plans to say no. That would not make any sense to me.

Out of curiosity...if she accepts the SOS, she steps down as senator...then O fires her (put it any way you want)...she's screwed...correct?

sometimes youmguys get so in the weeds that you don't see that the innuendo and rumor is leading the story...instead of facts...

this sounds like something off a paparazzi site.

what people know is that Obama and Clinton look like they actually get along...and how long can you fake that

LOL In DC apparently lifetimes

Why should Obama be in the position to take credit for work that Hillary will do? She should reject a SOS offer, and maintain her independence.

Debt can be forgiven? What? Who is going to forgive it? The TV stations who ran her ads? The paid workers who ran her campaign? Who?

Perhaps Obama will pay it off for her?

'nt bail out Auto Makers,we should give them a loan for research for alternative fuel vehicles.Not a loan for giving carte blanc on a bail out.

Maybe George knows.....I was sitting here thinking this morning and this thought struck me...

After all that time and money spent during the election, what actually
was the outcome?...

Another black family living in government housing...

Why not Hillary - he's got everyone else from the Clinton administration - GREAT - a third term of Bill!!

Tina:

Do you think this is a one way street. You are so sure that Hillary will do no wrong and only good that Obama will get credit for. What about the wrongs that she or Bill may do that Obama will have to take the heat for. You are so negative and one sided. I am glad the majority of Americans do not have the tunnel vision that you have.

She basically can have any position she wants. Maybe she is looking at her options and how it will effect her and her family. Hillary has helped Obama and Obama is fair. Really I believe Hillary can name her price. She helped with this Obama victory.

Lee:
Well White families have been living in that same government housing for years that was built by blacks. Its about time a black family gets the chance to live in the house they built.

I feel Hillary's selection as SOS is a great thing for our country. It shows the type of man President elect Obama will make. He is choosing his cabinet very wisely and will prove to be one of our best Presidents ever. I only hope history does not repeat its self, as he is an avid fan of our Great Late President Lincoln.

AS long as Richardson or Kerry don't get the job, I'm OK with whatever she decides to do.

So Clinton as SOS is the Change we all voted for? Better than the Bush gang but very sad if happens.

if we go through the clinton closets it will be like a soap opera all over again-----something our country can do with out-----what makes hillary so special,she was a zero when willy was in office--could not even handle childrens lunch program.where this instant fame comes from i have no idea---just that she was a pres. candidate----and a woman---.

I just read your book when you were part of Bill Clinton's Administration and I get the impression you left with feelings if disappointment. While your show on Sunday's, This Week, is my favorite of all the Sunday morning shows, I want to ask if your opinion about Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State can remain fair? I hope so, you are an exceptional reporter.

Hope she accepts the job. A fundraising dinner with guest speakers Obama and Bill Clinton should clear up most of her campaign debts.
Also, this thing about her independence is stupid --- not sure why anyone would even consider this as a problem --- I mean secretary of state is huge, she is going to be the key player here, policies would have been laid out and she like Obama will have to work within the guidelines; same as if she remained a senator and helped with health care - she still have to work within the guidelines set out by the party for any project.
I agree with GS, she should/(will) take the job.

Does Hillary Really Want the Job?
************************************

YES

I hope she doesn't take the job. Let him fail on his own. He just wants to have someone to blame for his idiocy.

CLINTONS ARE ALREADY TAKING SPOTLIGHT------WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF OBAMA PICKS HER---HOPE IT WOULD NOT BE LIKE THE PALIN THING---I WOULD THROW OUT MY TV.
