I not sold on Hillary as SOS. Too much drama. Would Bill Clinton come along too? What about his business dealings abroad? Too many "?" marks there. No Drama Obama. That's how it should be.

Obama
Biden
Clinton

the start of a more earthly "Hall of Justice"...

looks like Superman and Batman just found their Wonder Woman.

# Personally participates in or directs U.S. representatives to international conferences, organizations, and agencies;
# Negotiates, interprets, and terminates treaties and agreements;

who brings more to the table and presence in negotiations... on behalf of the US and Obama...than Clinton...

and anyone who has ever seen the two letters "dl" at the end of a post comment knows I was not a fan of Clinton during the primaries.

This appears to be the real deal if you listen to what has been coming out of the Obama transition team. Or it could be a well placed leak intended to soothe Hillary's ego and keep the press interested in them and not Palin.

I think Richardson should be SOS and Hillary should take the next Supreme Court position.

supreme court would be a waste of Hillary's actual skills and attributes...

there is a latina judge ...that mark my words is going to be Obama's first supreme court nominee.

and mark my words ...if it is between Clinton and Richardson...Hillary is going to take it.

which as much as I like Richardson...he is too milktoast for the situation we have.

and to compare the effect Clinton would have in negotiating and diplomacy...and Richardson or Kerry...
well there is no comparison.

CLINTON? SOS? Great! Two great Lawyers. Did I say lawyers? Didn't she say that Obama was not qualify to be President? Didn't he say that she voted for the war? Do we see a tend here? I guess we just don't care.

Nonsense,

Obama may have used the Bill Clinton argument in the veep selection but we all know H & B have separate existences. I hope Hillary gets this job. I think she would be very good. 1) women are good at diplomacy. 2)by now Bill probably knows more about the world than he does about the US. So he would be an asset to her if she decided to seek his input. and 3) Matt, who is Palin?? and why would Obama and Hillary be interested in playing a children's game like that. It seems to me those two are serious grown ups interested in seriously grown up matters, unlike some baby politicians we have seen running around this week.

I guess I missed the part in all the empty "Change" rhetoric were it said it would be change back to the daily dose of sleaze of the Clinton administration.

You liberals remember the Clinton administration right?

The one that was handed the most robust economy in history just to see it tank 3 months prior to it being handed to GW Bush.

The one that took millions from the Chinese government in exchange for our most highly guarded missile secrets.

The one that saw the President more interested in getting BJ's than responding to the first time the WTC was attacked.

The one that passed just the largest, but the 2 largest tax increase in US history.

The one that brought fame, glory and honor to the memory of Lincoln buy renting out his bedroom.

The one that dismantled the intelligence and military of this country that directly led to the first ever attacks on US soil by a foreign country.

The one that permitted corporate corruption to run rampant allowing for the likes of Enron, Tyco, etc; costing retirees hundreds of billions in savings.

Yeah - it sure will be refreshing to get back to those good old days. Now that’s change we can believe in.

Looks like Obama better get his step n fetchit shoes on.

I can understands that hispanics will want a high profile reward but I think Clinton would be great in the role.

Vanessa - You're post, as always, is amusing. I've watched you post to this blog for quite a while now, almost always shaking my head at your one dimensional views when it comes to Obama. I'm glad he won, but Clinton would be an excellent SoS. I've seen your derogatory comments regarding both Clinton's throughout this election and it only shows your naivety and makes you less credible in your posts. You were obviously not paying attention in the 1990's when Bill Clinton was President during the most prosperous time for middle America in the last 35 years (perhaps you were too young to notice). The better of the two men running for President won this election - why waste your time sowing more discontent after the fact? Move on.

Please, just stop with the Hillary Clinton rumors. Give it a rest. ABC- you may not know this, but she lost her battle for the Presidency. She ain't gonna be Secretary of State, not after the way she treated Obama in the primaries. It will be either John Kerry or Bill Richardson. Both worked much harder for Obama.

Hillary would be great for the position. The Clinton were very popular over seas. The one thing you can not deny the pair is they work well together. I believe Hillary would be a great help with Obama and foreign policy. For those that dislike Hillary, stop haten on her. The woman has worked hard to get the position she is in. And she has done nothing different than any man hasn't done.

alison,
I would want to agree with you, however I would not be unhappy with Hillary for Secretary of State. Although I still do not understand why many dislike John Kerry, I think Clinton probably brings much gravitas to the job.
I'm just not sold to the idea of Bill Richardson doing a more effective job than Hillary Clinton. Well, aren't you glad you're not the one making this choice? I can imagine it is not an easy choice for Obama. By the way, I do like the meeting with Senator McCain. One thing Senator McCain should admit-other than the Keating Five piece, Barack Obama did not go negative on him during the campaign as some would suggest.

who is leaking why this information?

Question>>said a lot of sour grapes...Clintonian prosperity must not have come your way...Too bad.. For most of us, tax increases and all, we saw our
quality of life grow. We enjoyed the man's engaging disarming personality and his upbeat and world embracing rhetoric. And we were shocked but not unduly by his infidelities. Yet, to hear you, you'd think he was the great Satan. Greater then even your very own George W. Bush right Question? Slight of hand cannot remove our vision from W. - the most undemocratic, under-educated, war-mongering, corporation schmoozing, freedom dissolving, home price devaluing crack pot who thinks God told him to invade Iraq president that America has yet produced. Leave Bill alone and remove the mote from your won parties eye - we have had enough of your bitterness and slanders.

or maybe that equally talented alaskan governor . clintons bring tooooooooo much baggage. maybe arnold and we could get a democrat in california.
jimmy carter is much more highly respected internationally ,if he would take the job,

BTW - I don't think Hillary will pass up a long and prosperous career in the Senate for a short term job with State.

Why? There's got to be someone else! Did he forget how dirty she is?
