Latest on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

tina: Hillary will get the secretary of state job because Obama will make sure of it. Hillary will not run for president again. If something happens to biden I believe Obama would select Hillary as his VP and that's what he should have done in the first place. He owed that to her since she got cheated out of her delegates so he could be the nominee. And that was the dirty work of Nancy and Dean. Nancy likes power and wanted to be the only one in power. 87% want Palin to run for president and I hope she does. She has four years to prepare and get the republican's back where they were in the days of Reagan. Obama is going to make drastic changes in this country and the people who voted him in are going to be stunned by it.

Come on, guys! Isn't it good that Obama is being prudent? I would rather he take his time and do this right than rush into a mistake. Don't think the Repugs aren't just sitting there waiting for a mistake to pounce on. They'll stage their phony outrage and mock indignation, which is pretty much what the GOP is best at. So take your time, President-elect and Senator. Do it right.

Hillary already said yes that's why she is being vetted but they want to keep it from the public. The change is bringing Bill Clinton's people to power again. So what you have is the old leaving and the previous old coming in. Obama has to choose Clinton's people because he doesn't have the skills to run this country and they do. He needs extensive training and he will get it from Hillary as secretary of state and also Bill Clinton in secret. Obama knew forehand that he couldn't run this country because he lacked the experience. Biden can't help him because Hillary knows more than him.

I just read this NYT headline: "Aides: Sen. Clinton will only get job if husband's activities pose no conflict"

If Hillary doesn't get the Sec. of State position, then she will also be disqualified from running for president again, because she couldn't pass the vetting process. This may be how Obama finally disposes of her for good.

I wonder when Obama will be vetted?

Now, we are seeing the "real administration" and IT'S NOT CHANGE!

I'm pleased that Obama supporters will now come to the realization that Obama is just another Washington politician, not a messiah.

Just remember what Obama said on December 27, 2007:
"The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

So, will this mean, that we should not expect any change in Obama's administration?

Why can't Hillary just say Yes or No? Why does this selection have to drag out? And what does former President Bill Clinton have to do with her appointment? Isn't that his deal - not hers? If it drags out any longer, I would advise Obama to go forward and pick another candidate. So much drama surrounds the Clintons

"ABC News has learned that serious progress has been made on the notion of a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."

Jake, we are your very loyal readers. So surely you will listen to some of our questions: what is serious progress? How is this different from last week? was it somewhat a less-serious affair then? and most important to me who are these sources? If there is something I have come to dislike intensely about this whole reporting thing is the whole 'sources' business. If what is going on is confidential stuff, then you really shouldn't be intruding on confidential things. If its not, then report it wholly. i'm just ranting here because i just read that the whole background to the story started when an [unknown] black motorcade emerged from the basement of the Chi-town building and somebody connected that to Hillary's sighting at a NY airport. Seriously?! thats a basis for reporting? I never, since the primaries, trusted anything when I hear 'sources say...' coming from Andrea mitchelle but this is really new heights even for her.
