Schwarzenegger: Clinton 'Could Be Great Move' for Obama Cabinet

Richard Clark belongs in the Obama cabinet.

I think Hillary would make a great Sec. of State, the question now is 'will she want it?' She would have to forgo her favored domestic policy issues such as health care to focus strictly on foreign policy.

Why does anyone care what Arnold thinks. He should put more time into unraveling the problems in our state of CA.

Janice there is change and then there is change. Do you recall when Clinton arrived in DC he brought all NEW people? Well they had no clue how things were done and as a result there was chaos for months. It makes sense to chose some who know the ropes. I believe you will see change in policies and ideas and the focus of this administration. Hang on for a while, give him a chance and they weigh in.

Hillary would be better as Secretary of Defense to avoid any conflict of interest with Bill's dealing with foreign countries in seeking supportfor his charities etc. However, she would make a great secretary of state.

If Obama thinks he needs Clinton(s), I respect Obama's judgement. I also think Clintons will do well by the country.

As a well-informed Obama supporter, I have to say that I think it would be really problematic to have her as the head of the State Dept. for the same reasons why I don't think she would have made a good VP selection. I trust Obama as I have all along so in the end I suppose I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt -- something she never did for him throughout the primaries.

Please no more Hillary Clinton. Look at the drama that has occurred just rumors about Hillary for SOS and look at her coy response. George- Stop being a tool for the Clintons. I have never and will never forgive you for those stupid debate questions you gave Barack. Give it up. Hillary and her fans need to realize that she is best qualifed to be a senator. She ran a terrible campaign and is a terrible executive. You need to be a good executive to be a SOS. She is so labor intensive and needs too many people to help her get the her own job done and it is still always about her and not the needs of our country. It took 6 speech writers to get her convention speech done. And the convention was so over the top drama because of her. And her foreign policy experience- have we forgtten about Bosnia already? Richardson has more executive and foreign policy experience and he hasn't gotten his cronies out promoting him like Hillary has gotten you qand her DNC cronies to leak all of this out George. Times are too serious for this kind of high school drama.

If I was Obama, I'd be fine with Hillary. I'm not sure I'd want Bill around, though. Too much baggage.

Bill Clinton has a Ton of Millions leading to himself and Hillary, who Benefited from Khazakstan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, China, United Arab Emirates and other countries....

She'll be offered the position, but the end game will be another person such as Bill Richardson, taking the job.

Because of all the Controversy, surrounding the Clinton's...

Another will be chosen from the Democratic Or Republican Pool...Period

Mrs. Clinton should be President, not this third-tiered secretary stuff.

Once you all get elected to the White House then I guess you all can decide who will be Secretary of State. Interesting how so many Obama supporters are now NOT supporting his decisions. That was probably one of the shortest honeymoons I have seen!!

Fact is that Clinton is admired and trusted among world leaders. She will make a great Secretary of State. The only person who came close to Middle East peace was Bill and I think Hillary is smarter than Bill. She will get the job done. Go Obama! I trust your judgement.

Hey Jen,
Like Chis Mathews said comparing Sarah to Hillary is like comparing an igloo to Empire State building.

Political debt is what will matter. Richardson dissed the Clintons to support Obama...for what?

The Clintons went against their beliefs and values and campaigned with Obama, for Obama.

Now which carries a heavier weight? Qualifications will have nothing to do with the choice, only who Obama feels more indebted to.

Who wants another former "Young Republican", a highly religious back-stabbing Delilah, who - like Bush -is not willing to even talk to other leaders without dictating "preconditions" in such an important position??

Hillary, is the among the most ineligible candidates!

Great Choice. Now, President Obama needs to clone Hillary Clinton for the DOJ, and quick!!!

The NEO-CONS need to face their evil ways. The Constitution was trampled on for the entire Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II Regimes.

It would be great to know how many of W.'s administration had a basic Constitutional Law class (NOT TAUGHT AT A BIBLE SCHOOL).

The 30+ Neo-Con nightmare is almost over. Sweet revenge for your TV viewing experience expected.

I wonder if the new administration could find a place for Thom Hartman. A void existing in our Nation. It's left from the absence of intellect, humanism and just plane heart, missing since FDR, that came about from Capitalism on steroids.

sorry about the bad grammar

It would be a stroke of genius. Besides being the best qualified, she earned it. And, for the second Obama term, she would be VP!

I think having HRC as our Sec of State would be fantastic. I am tired of all the haters resurrecting the primary battles and petty crap comments. Do we want the best, the most qualified, the most hard working serving our nation? If so, that Hillary Clinton in an Obama administration is a win win win win. Stop fretting about Bill ... Hillary is her own woman and the damn best we can offer. Kerry? Richardson? Are you serious ... 2nd rate 3rd rate, washed up. Yes we can - Hillary for Sec of State!

NO to Hillary!! Anyone that says they would annihilate Iran should not be considered for SOS. It's completely opposite to Barack's point of view. Too much drama -- too much baggage -- and I don't think the Clinton finances would be able to stand up to the vetting process. And, that's only if they would allow it. I can't stand the thought of Bill being anywhere near the Government again and although Hillary is bright, let's not forget how she mismanaged her own campaign -- especially with the 'help' of Bill. They both feel entitled and as far as I'm concerned, the only thing they are entitled to is to get out of the limelight. They've had their day and then some. Now it's time to retire. The most she should be given is something to do with the Health department and for heaven sake keep Bill out of it completely. He's a walking disaster. Biggest male diva I have ever seen. Richardson for SOS and Powell for Secretary of Defense.

Hillary for SoS...and Bill can take her Senate seat (keep him busy and out of trouble)...

YES! I am so hopeful that hilary will be given, and will accept, that position.

people who think change means the entire govt. would be filled with newbies with no experience just don't get what is meant by "change".

There has already been change. We are getting rid of Bush, and we have changed the way the World views us- as racially divided. We have healed racial wounds. We have hope. there is no bigger change that we could hope for in America.

Wasn't it Obama who said simply having tea and cookies with foreign leaders does not make one a foreign policy expert? I think Obama is misguided in his "Team of Rivals" quest. We've had enough dissention to last a lifetime. What we need is a team of folks who can get things done.

Frankly, I'm very dissappointed in Obama. I've been with Obama since day one. I donated a lot of money to his campaign which I've never done before. Never before have I thought a politician was worth even a dime of my hard earned money, but Obama got 26,000 dimes from me because I believe in him. Selection of Clinton has shaken my belief. I'm so tired of the Clintons and their chaos and drama. No one could possibly believe Clinton is more qualified than Kerry, Hagel, or Rice. Kerry is the best choice. He has all the foreign policy cred and he speaks several languages. Wouldn't it be nice to have a top diplomat who can communicate with other countries in their language?

Obama's strategy of rewarding enemies and rivals and giving the boot to loyal supporters is not a winning strategy in my book.

Isn't California on fire? Arnold should be worried about The budget here in our near bankrupt state and helping fire victums put their lives together.
