CNN

Oh no...I thought we were through with her. I do not trust her, she lies and the country has had too much of the Clintons. What are you thinking Mr. Obama?

I never trusted her and niether should Obama. First he offers her the job and than it is leak to the media I wonder whose people leak that out? NOT! And now she is not sure she wants the job after she indicated that she did want it. Why are they bending over backwards for her and creating a fake leadership role. She doesn't deserve it she and her people did nothing but undermind Obama throughout the campaign. Why should she get any special treatment? If she accepts the job than fine what else can be done. But she only has loyalty to herself and her big ego along with her husband a man I once respected. Obama should be careful and nominate people who will not undermine him and his message.

She'd had better not mess things up for Barack. She's a selfish, selfish woman who doesn't deserve to be on anybody's cabinet. She's not smart, she's manipulative. There's a difference.

There's also a difference between her and Sarah. Sarah didn't know she was a drag for John McCain, Hillary does know she's a drag for Barack. She should just decline and go back to the Senate, where there are more vipers just like her.

Hillary should have been president....you people need to wake up and quit jabbering about how bad she is...educate yourself about her by reading her books and the great things that she has done...you who mock and hate are ignorant people..educate yourselves!

Hillary won't accept as she is hoping to run for president again. I wish her luck whatever her decision is and I hope a 'no' from her isn't because she doesn't want to work for Obama. Remember Hillary, the people who might vote for you are watching. As for the Republicans who keep posting here – why don't you post to a Limbaugh blog or something? We need serious thought here, not sarcastic biggots who can't stand it that a black man is THE BOSS for the next four years.

As a life long new yorker, hillary is a complete and total failure in the Empire State senate. All talk and very little action . Perhaps she would have done better in Arkansas .

Miss Center of Attention makes me sick. She couldn't win fairly so she has to suck Barack's administration dry.

She stole White House furniture and she lies. Is this really what we want?

Hillary will stink up the place. Sad, sad day.

We would not have a cabinet stacked with more Clinton’s people even if Hillary Clinton was elected as a President. What a great tribute to Clinton years and what a lack of any change Obama promised. So, what’s the difference Mr. Obama, elect one more Clinton to your administration, since you for sure know that Hillary Clinton is the most able, qualified, competent, trustworthy, best prepared and far better candidate for any position including yours. Hillary Clinton would be superb SOS just by having inherent sense of duty, devotion, capability, and sheer love for our country. But, I think she should not accept the position, because the only position she deserved and fought for was taken away from her. And to think that Bill Richardson would be even considered for SOS is ludicrous. If he was able to betray Clintons as he did to protect his own interests he might betray down the road our country the same way.

Lipstick on this pig is still a pig, and wasted lipstick .

This queen bee won't stop until she has sucked the life out of the "change" administration. Too bad, there were such high hopes for Barack.

First of all, she has not been properly vetted. Her husband is a pariah, and she lies. Oh yeah, did we forget that little part–she lies.

Four more years of drama, drama, drama. By the end of the 4 years I'm going to really hate her.

Still for Barack, can't stand Hillary.

The whole conversation for 4 years will be about Hillary. I have faith in Barack, but I hope he knows what he's doing. Hillary Clinton is the most selfish person on the planet and she won't change. She'll trash Barack's administration just as she trashed the primaries. She is a burn and scorch, spoiled, sour grapes kind of person and the Cabinet will have the stench of the Clintons from day one.

I hope Barack comes to his senses and starts his administration without this snake coiling around his ankles. With such high hopes for his administration, I hope it's not over before it starts. What a waste.

More Clinton drama, I was hopeing Obama would keep the Clintons @ bay. I didn't vote for Hillary because she was a liar, make her SOS, there's no telling what she may do to get a 7 million dollar pay to betray our country. Did you all forget, she still owes $7 million dollars from her campaign. If Obama is as smart as I think he is, he will not offer Hillary SOS or any other job. JMO

NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm,

I like my 401K statements from 2000 to 2006.

Then in mid 2006, after DEMS took over Congress and Senate, I don't like my 401K statements.

Now, there's a pattern.

So why is it that all you idiots think Hillary is running in 2012? Don't you mean in 2016? There is no way she will run against a sitting President from her own party, and win. First she will be made to look bitter and hateful, which she will lose the majority support. She could try as an independent, but that would not work. Do you know how many people will show up just to make sure she doesn't win? More than what we saw this year. I think she will accept the SOS, Bill will be appointed Interim Senator of New York, everyone will be happy and all will be well.

So much for change.

SOS, just a different party.

Obama's campaign HYPE is proving to be lies.

Lobbist on staff, Clinton as Sec of State, Daschal, etc, etc.

Looks like NO CHANGE in Washington

The deeper the water darker it get, presidents elect should not start out with an under current.

Irene- "best preesidents ever"

What are you smoking? Please. GWB is THE worst president with a 24% approval rating and will get even worse as a president over history b/c of his new loopholes/blunders in office along with the potential pardoning of Ted Stevens.

"The young people of today, have no values, no knowledge of the world, the way it used to be and its very sad. Obama is a joke, change, "

Actually, the young people are THE MOST informed..they don't get their info from radio talk shows but have a vast resource of knowledge. And I'm sure they're values are one of the best as they don't think GWB is 'the best president.' Btw, Obama being a joke is the MOST ridiculous thing I've heard.

My money is on her not accepting the Secretary of State position.

Stay in the senate Hillary – learn how to function without the drama queen, primo Donna act, then try again.

Please no Barack cabinet post. PLEASE

A very large part of me wonders how Clinton, who quite possible has the most overinflated resume in the history of politics, would be of any positive service to the Obama Administration as SOS. A small part of me says trust Obama's judgement, which is the reason why I voted for him. Is this a case of keep your friends close (Daschle, Holder) and your enemies closer (Clinton)?

This is becoming too much of media circus and rating, now that the election is over, the media found new topic oh yeah let's bash more Hillary and Bill Clinton as soon as their name gets mentioned, most of you Obama supporters you were wishing for a Bill Clinton 3rd run, whether you like it or hate it Bill and Hillary have done so much for this country. not everybody hates them like all these puppets in the media claim. so my opinion is: Obama and i respect him and voted for him gracially ask her for the job as a way to unite the democratic party but you Obama supporters you can't help but get angry at her of course with the help of the media. so i wish that Hillary doesn't take the job otherwise you will be blaming the clintons for everything that goes wrong with Obama's administration.

With all the hype over this it might be a blessing in disguise if she found something better to do in the Senate. I blame the media for screwing this up. The media has a habit lately of trashing everything that is going on with the new Obama Administration. I think Colin Powell would have been a better choice (doubtful if he would take it) or Sen. John Kerry.

Hillary Clinton should have been elected President and would have been elected president had the media not committed "media malpractice" by it's digusting and insulting male-centric sexist put-downs said over and over with impunity. I don't know why Obama is gloating he did not win fair and square, at all. 225 years and still no female President. Talk about oppression and discrimination.

Thank you Mark for telling it like it is. She would sell her soul to the devil for a political position. New Yorkers should be ashamed for letting her and slick Willie move there to begin with let alone elect her to the Senate. Now I know why I do not ever want to vacation in NY.

"Did you forget what this woman is about?"

No, I haven't forgotten. She's still about the same things she has been "about" for decades: opportunity, education, health care, justice. She has worked tirelessly and maintained her focus on improving the lives of American families and children despite the accusations, sniping, cattiness and just plain meanness in politics. She's been blamed for her husband's misbehavior, faulted for actually forgiving him and putting her family before her pride, and accused of (Oh my!) ambition!

Still, she moves forward, trying to make the country a better place for future generations. In a time when young girls get Brittany and Paris, they can use a role model like Sen. Clinton.

Well she deserves a good position and it seems the Clintons are still in power today by Obama's cabinet picks, which I have to say are very good because I don't believe Obama has a clue where to take this country with his own decision making.

Rachel – I have read alot of your comments. You don't like Obama and that's fine. Rachel nobody care right about now either about your ill feeling regarding Obama. So go read a book and stop your negative comments. Obama is the President so get use to it until 2016. Hilliary days are number and husband is her biggest down fall.

To all the sexist Hillary haters: That was just for the primaries. Obama doesn't need your hate any more so you can turn it off. Now you are commanded to like her. You will obey.

Plus Hillary is a great experienced person – he needs that.

Hillary Clinton-proven record of real problem solving capabilities, solid track record of accomplishment, remarkable intellect, incredible work ethic. ......................and we have a an Obama POTUS. What a nightmare.

HIllary will do a good job in any position, because she is intelligent, experience and hard working and puts her party and her country first!!

It is sad to see that many people regret giving the vote to Obama just because he is surrounding himself with cabinet members from the Clinton administration. Obama is an intelligent man, who is picking his cabinet according to experience and knowledge. These people have gone through the aftermath of Bush Sr's administration. So they are the ones that are qualified to lead us out of the economic mess that Bush Jr is leaving us with, thanks to the people that not only voted once but twice for Bush and even voted for McSame!!

When Obama said "Change" it meant in policies, economic, healthcare, enviromental, etc....... Do you really think he was going to put people with no experience??? See what no experience has costs us the last 8 yrs.

Sandy November 20th, 2008 11:27 am ET

I think the offer for SOS is going to be withdrawn. There is too much drama around the Clintons and that image does not fit with the new administration.

THESE IS THE MIND RECEIVE PE Obama didn't pick Hilliary for VP – just too much drama and he couldn't afford that time of drama during the general election. I would withdraft and make the offer to
Bill Richardson enough said.

It's sad that obama was elected out of hatred for the current president rather than his record...Most jobs during the interview asks for your past accomplishments..... i'm still waiting on obama's accomplishments other than making a website... obama is marketable and was marketed and he won.... someone tell me how many obama supporters own mac's? weak minds fall hard to smooth words

Change is Policy not people. Obama hasn't even been given a chance yet so please let him pick his team he will be in charge. Obama will be running things not the people he select. Change comes in all forms.

I believe most of the media spin about Hillary Clinton and the Secretary of State position has been promoted by the old croonies of the Clintons! They were CONSTANTLY on every media outlet during the primary election, pushing the envelope for her. And now, they are doing the same thing all over again - every day and night they are on CNN, MSNBC, pushing hard for her to get the job! And Bill Clinton certainly had HIS OWN AGENDA against Obama in the primary! I hope the Obama Team won't fall for Bill Clinton's "willingness" to become transparent! It will be a pseudo transparency, because he is a person who will NEVER fully disclose ANYTHING about himself, personal, political or otherwise! He is narcisstic plain and simple! He is ONLY looking out for himself! ONLY if there is something in this deal for Bill Clinton, will he put his seal on it! He cannot be HONEST about anything! Barack Obama doesn't owe the Clintons one single favor! In fact, the BEST Obama can do for himself is to STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THE CLINTONS!! I VOTED FOR ONE PRESIDENT! I CERTAINLY DON'T CARE TO HAVE THREE!! Keep Hillary Clinton in the Senate! That's where she belongs!!

A question was asked...has any Secretary of State gone on to something other than oblivion? The answer is yes. Thomas Jefferson was the nations first Secretary of State...he became the nations third President and his face adorns Mt. Rushmore!!

The battle for Hillary is on! So where can she do the most damage....hmmmm let's see..........

The Change Is There
We elected Obama to be President. The change is that President Elect Obama will be IN CHARGE. Bill Clinton will not be the President. President Elect Obama will dictate how he wants business carried on. All of the people he has chosen are well educated and very intelligent. He has surrounded himself with people who have the ability to bring in new information. President Elect Obama seem to like people who will challenge--not merely agree for fear of offending someone. This man is VERY INTELLIGENT.

It better be a powerful role or she should kiss the Senate good-bye!

All those Dems who asked Hillary to campaign for them must come up with a better job than junior Senator if they really want her to stay.

Hillary deserves the best position possible after all the fundraising and campaigning she has done for Democrats in the House and Senate.

Every time someone bashes the Clintons, they bring up old business deals or resort to Monica. I thought after 8 years of this last group even die hard Republican would think what the Clintons are even accused of doing seems like small potatoes.
Ken Starr spent millions of taxpayer dollars, and in the end with no judicial or financial restrictions only came up with Monica.

Hillary will not use the SOS office for her own agenda. Has there ever been anyone this intelligent who so totally supported others. I like her hard work, and doing the right thing.

This would unite the democratic party, and we will have a competent person in place to clean up after the Bush/Cheney debacle,

Did you forget what this woman is about? So quickly...
NO CLINTON(s)!!

Hilary is enthusiastic and bustling with energy to serve the nation I'm convinced, in all capacities. It's no longer about power. She fought hard for Obama to make it and could be instrumental in his ahieving his agenda that really needs not only big but also experienced heads. Patriotic as she and Mr. Cinton are, I believe her contibution will be enormous especially if she realy shows a zeal for it.

This was a Clinton tactical move to get what she wants, until she can run again in 2012, claiming either experience as Secty of State or leading the charge in Health Care reform in the Senate. Either way she will used one of these two items to bolster up her chances for running and winning in 2012.

Hillary and Bill are two very cunning people and believe me, this whole thing has some serious power move motives behind it.

For those of you that do not agree that Hillary should be the SOS, do you have a better choice? Enough Said!!

To Plastic Heart
George Bush had so called experience; look what it did for us. It is a job that who ever the American people place in that office, there is not one person who comes there experienced on their first term. Everyone who takes office is INEXPERIENCE!

Jackie--You are right! Bush and his gang screwed us royally! Now we have some one to remedy that situation-OBAMA.

Hillary should stay in the Senate!!!!!!!! Yea HILL!!!!!!!!!!! You can do much more good there!!!!!!!!!!!! But do not discount a Supreme Court appointment, we need your wisdom for the rest of your life. GO HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What, not enough Clinton peeps in the White House for Obama.

Good job people – your Savior for CHANGE is the same 'ol story.

Any Republican in 2012.

Change and Yes We Can

No place in my Administation for lobbyists/Washington Insiders

Together we will change Washington.

What happened to HIS CHANGE... it looks like Veteran WJC third term Cabinet???

Now HRC in news for Sec of State? This would of been her Cabinet.

Is this the answer to who should handle the 3:00am Call??

Whtewater Queen needs to be kept out of our government!

She should stay in the Senate... especially to help with Healthcare or replace Reid as the new leader.

MD, TX November 20th, 2008 11:17 am ET
Can't wait for Hillary to walk into the Oval Office one day and tell Obama to get out of her chair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever is a long time to wait.

There's no way Hillary can save the Obamanation from disaster. She needs to stay in the Senate to help herself.

You people who think it's time to 'turn the page on the Clintons and that's why I voted for Obama' are as dillusional as George Bush. Hillary is in her prime politically and she's not going anywhere. Neither is the rest of her generation – we've only just arrived!

Attention:

All those who supported Barack Obama just to defeat Clinton,
Raise Your Hands!!!

P.S. Good Reason.

I'm not in favor of Senator Clinton serving as Secretary of State. Just too much of her saying one thing and voting the other way. Too many of her bold faced lies on the campaign trail. Her husband's involvements and quid-pro-quo finances with foreign politicians and dubious links. It is a symbolic gesture to include her in the pool of contenders, but I simply can't support her appointment as Secretary of State. Once the Clintons' finances are combed through the incredibly obvious reasons will appear. Enough said.

She sure as heck doesn't deserve to be Secretary of State while we are striving to rebuild our international image. Doesn't anyone remember her Bosnia lies, the truth being stretched on the peace accord in Ireland, her saying Iran would be "oblitheraged" if they attack Israel, her desire to return to a "cold war strategy"!!!!

I thought America was pretty clear in the primaries when we chose Obama and again in the national election. He may owe the Clintons something even with their initial lack luster support. BUT he doesn't owe them this.

Bill Clinton's tangled web of international business dealings and political favors owed will weigh heavily on Obama's message of change and lobbists.

I think the offer for SOS is going to be withdrawn. There is too much drama around the Clintons and that image does not fit with the new administration.

The far right has demonized this strong woman. I have yet to see one solid good reason that she is not qualified for the position. All I hear is Rush Limbaugh rhetoric.

I admire Hilliary - she should stay in the Senate. Why so much drama with the Clintons - All should get a life!!!

President-elect vetting team - please get this over. We need CHANGE not DRAMA.

Here's a legitimate question for someone to answer. Why would Bill Clinton's Global Initiative, international contributions to his foundation, etc. be more of a problem if Hillary were to be SOS, rather than if she had become President? Wouldn't he have had to make changes and/or concessions for that also??

Tom in Delaware November 20th, 2008 9:38 am ET

Wouldn't it be nice if the Obama camp came out and confirmed any of CNN's speculative reporting.

Try just reporting the news instead of printing rumors.

------------------------------–

I never thought I'd hear myself say this...but I totally agree with Tom in Delaware! There can be some unity yet!!

Can't wait for Hillary to walk into the Oval Office one day and tell Obama to get out of her chair.

@Irene:

Whatever you have been smoking, please keep it away from young children. You think that George Bush will go down as one of the best presidents ever!!!! Poor thing.

You people make me sick. When THE ONE needed the Clintons to go out there and campaign for him in order to win the election you had no problem with that. Hillary Clinton has more brains in her big toe that he has in his head. I guess you do not remember what a prosperous life you had while Bill Clinton was the president. You deserve what you all get and we will be all laughing when things get so bad and THE ONE does not have one idea on how to fix the mess. Maybe he will call the Clinton,s again to help him GET A LIFE PEOPLE – she is not running anymore – you all took care of that and if she knows what's good for her she will tell him to take is SOS job and shove it. She can do better than that.

is anybody as sick of this woman as i am?? what right does she think she has – her sense of entitlement is beyond arrogant!! she is the JUNIOR senator and nobody owes her anything other than the seat she has which is no better than the other 99 in the senate! if she wants to be queen – she should move to europe and try to oust some monarch there. here, she is just an ordinary citizen – uglier than most – but still ordinary!

Don't you Change freaks know by now that you've been duped?

Obama and Clinton are look-alikes. Biden also voted to go into Iraq, morons. I, for one, think that Hillary's refusal to grovel before BO and "apologize" for a vote when he wasn't even in the Senate at the time. Bushed LIED, senators voted yes because Presidents usually don't have the nerve to LIE in public. If you want a pound of flesh, why didn't you all complain about BUSH instead of senators who took him and Colin Powell at their word?

Bush is out, and BO's new best friend is Powell – a bought and paid for liar. Explain that.

Obama is re-forming the Clinton Administration. Hardly anybody new, and those that are have less-than-powerful cabinet posts. BO – he knows a good thing when he sees it. Clinton, Barack's nemesis, was right all along – and they did get it done, after all.

Now, I'm happy to see Clinton people running things again. But you Change freaks must be sorely disappointed. You bought what BO had to sell. "Change."

Will the real "liar" please stand up?

I think Hilary will work out better with a new role in the Senate. Her expertise is there!! But it was nice for Obama to offer or consider her the position.

Hi guys,
Seems this vetting process for Secretary of State is taking a while. Now there's talk of a new role for Hillary Clinton in the Senate.
I think Barack Obama has been a chess player in this from the get go. I think he knew from the beginning that the vetting process would be very onerous for the Clintons, and more than likely unsuccessful for them. But this way he gets to appear magnanimous, building bridges with Hillary and appearing to reward her for her help during the campaign. Yet at the same time he is able to distance his administration from all the Clinton baggage, and keep her in the Senate where she can still be immensely helpful to him.

We hope Obama picks Hillary for Secretary of State. She is well qualified. We want her on Obama's cabinet. Glad to have him for our President!!

SOS Bill Richarson!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo' Gary you moron.

I am a 57 year old scumbag, stop blaming the young people for presenting a bimbo bible thumper and a RINO as the only choices, and then blame young voters when America votes for the most liberal congressman.

Get a clue the repugs and rabid right are way past the expiration date.

But do keep ignoring that fact, we progressives love it!

Obama picked a staff that is suppose to provide him with advice and help lead this country. How can you make intelligent decisions with people that don't know what's going on. You have to mix it up with experience, which means former clinton staff members. There is no one in politics that is not tied to someone or some company. Everybody has dirt including you. Not many of you posting on this board could ever run for office once a P.I. went through your life.

I agree, NO MORE THE CLINTONS!! The Clintons are such entitlement, they feel they are entitled to anything and everyone shoud support them. NO MORE!

RETIREMENT should be option # 1.

She should be Majority Leader. Reid has been a dismal failure.

What happened to elected representation? The Dems have turned the senate into a popularity contest akin to an elementary school student body election. Things were not run in this fashion prior to 2006. Ridiculous.

I think she would do an excellent job as Sec. of State. She knows most of the foreign leaders anyway. And it sets her up for 2016. This means that after Obama's first term ends and all the cabinet secrataries have to resign, he won't pick her back up again. If she does run again. This woman will be a powerhouse no matter whatever she decides to do. I was hoping John Kerry would get the job too, though.

Stay in the Senate. the last thing we need is Fox News morphing back into the "24 hour Bill Clinton's Unit Channel". She'll be dodging non-existent gunfire for 4 years. Bill Richardson's experience overshadows Hillary's 100 fold.

I THINK IT WOULD BE UTTER FAILURE FOR HER POLITICAL CARRER IF SHE TOOK A POSITION OF ANYTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA. HE WILL ONLY BE AROUND FOR FOUR YEARS THEN PEOPLE EVERYWHERE WILL BE OH SO WILLING TO KICK HIS REAR OUT. THEN WE WILL HAVE A REPUBLICAN AGAIN FOR 8 MORE YEARS. NO I THINK IT IS COMPLETE DESTRUCTION THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE TO THEMSELVES.

Personally, I believe that Senator Clinton, who is my senator, should take up this offer in the senate. She is a self-proclaimed "fighter" for the forgotten. She is NOT a gifted diplomat, nor does she accept well others authority over her. I can certainly relate! SO, with all that former President Clinton would have to give up and she would be compromised by, plus their poor past history of polarization and raw power politics, I think it would behoove her to reject the Secretary of State to allow their old friend, who has recently been banished (which is another example of poor tone for Sec. of State) from them Gov. Richardson to step up to that plate, while she "blooms where she is planted".

@ GARY ........ I am an OBAMA supporter and I am NOT full of hate!

But tell me, GARY, how can you claim Obama supporters are haters when McCain/Palin's campaign was all about:

LIES.......HATE......FEAR........AND.....DIVISION?

To TrueIndependent. Maybe you should get off of "defence" and open your eyes. I HAVE lived in this country the last 7 years, actually the last 57 years, and have not made anything related to defense contracts. I have seen promises made by both sides. Consider this: in 2007, the DOW hit 14000 and unemployment was low. What has happened since the Dems have had full control of Congress? The Dow is now under 8000, unemployment is skyrocketing and homes have hit record foreclosures due to the liberal lending practices of Fannie/Freddy. Chris Dodd got a special loan, so shut the heck up about the DEFENSE contracts and look closer to home to the ones profiting by the lending policies, especially the liberals who lined their pockets with millions of dollars while running Fannie and Freddy into the ground. Until people get over this partisan BS, we will continue to make the same mistakes. BTW: A Democrat Carter admin with a Democrat controlled congress led to the worst economic crisis in the last 60 years; consider this as you watch Obama enter office. The biggest mess the Dems have to clean up is the one they are the most responsible for and so my question to you my friend is what color is the sky in your world? I am guessing rose colored.

@ Gary

You seriously need to get a grip. You talk about hate, look at your own post(s).

Obviously, some people do not understand CHANGE. Change does not necessarily mean throwing out the old, it means doing things in a different way. Here are a few examples of CHANGE that President-elect Obama talked about:

Getting rid of Bush & Neocons..... check
Governing in a way that will keep the best interest of our Nation as its goal.
Respect and adherence to the Constitution of the United States
BRINGING IN TO THE CABINET THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST.
CHANGE OUR FOREIGN POLICY SO THAT AMERICA REGAINS HER MORAL AUTHORITY AND HEALS THE RIFTS WITH OUR ALLIES.

ETC., ETC.

CHANGE IS MUCH MORE THAN "NO MORE CLINTONS" ........CHANGE IS A NEW VISION....A NEW WAY OF LEADING..... AND TAKING A ......DISASTER....... AND WORKING HARD TO TURN THINGS AROUND FOR THE GOOD OF OUR NATION!

PLEASE, OBAMA, SUPPORTERS, GIVE OBAMA A BREAK! HE NEEDS OUR CONSTANT SUPPORT. YOU VOTED FOR HIM.........NOW TRUST HIM!

To: plastic heart

You need to google Obama and read about his experience. If you do, the only way you would continue to belittle the experience he has is your brain is also plastic. The man has been working to help people all of his life. When you average his age and the years he has been working in public affairs, you will be confident that he is well qualified to be president of the U.S. His wisdom is outstanding.

We all need to relax and give this administration a chance.

i'm sick of the Clintons……..there's always a drama when i hear their names………………….

i really thought Obama was smarter than than to pick hillary……
i wish the Clintons would just go away………..

i never thought CHanges means bring back the Clintons.

Change=======>>> Clintons........ Shame on Obama, he fooled me.

A few people are sick of the Clintons who have been successful yet they are the same people who enjoyed 12 years of the Bush's with glee. Give me Bill and Hillary Clinton, warts and all any day over George and George (and I mean no disrespect to George Herbert Bush) but Junior has been a disgrace and may even do jail time once people figure out exactly what his tax cuts and his running two wars on a credit card did to the economy.

Clinton can do a lot more if she stays in the Senate. She has earned a leadership role.
Give her Liebermans chairmanships or anything else she wants but please keep her out of this administration.
I do not trust her or Bill. They left the White house with a few million dollars. Look what they have now. Do you think Bill has earned all that money just by giving speeches? He is selling more than talk.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY OBAMA REPRESENTED CHANGE AND FEEL HE'S SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH CLINTON PEOPLE. REMEMBER OBAMA SAID HE WILL MAKE A CHANGE BUT HE DIDN'T SAY HE WAS STUPID.

Some of these posters make me sick. Gripe gripe gripe. President elect Obama is trying to fill his cabinet with the best people he can find.
Hillary Clinton has been a distinguished first lady, has done a wonderful job as Senator from NY and would do an excellent job in any job she has. I don't get it. While the Clintons were in the White House, there was peace & prosperity in this country and we were much more liked and respected in the world than we are now. Is it the peace or is it the prosperity that you didn't like?

Jay,

That is truly laughable. Look what the last 8 years have done to the education system!

Ahem....

Mr. Obama, with all due respect.... you were elected mainly because of your promise for change..

Bringing Clintons and Clintonites back?

WHERE IS THE CHANGE YOU PROMISED??????????

All the angry folks on this blog are actually the ones that voted GWB into office twice. If anything you should be upset with yourself for that choice. Now we have someone who can hopefully clean up that clown's 8 yr mess and you all are still complaining. I say all the GWB supporters follow him back to Texas and let the rest of the world be happy and live in peace.....

PLEASE!!!

NO MORE CLINTONS!

Why did the senate do this. They should have waited to see what was going to happen to the Secretary Of State position first! Stupid Stupid Stupid!

It seems that there is a failure for most to understand that Hillary is well-qualified to serve wherever she may be called...again, hopefully, she fills a United States Supreme Court seat...the equilibrium of the Court 's scales are not only out of balance, but today, they aren't even attached. This is where Obama's change policy need to be directed to – HILLARY...one of our nation's NINE elite 'higher powers'!!!!!

Ah, so much anger at Obama. I remember when Hillary lost, we were all blasting Obama then too. But we saw the light, and the rest of you will too. America is not blind, nor "swindled," nor any of the other hateful words I have heard us called. It will be extremely difficult to clean up any of the messes Bush has left (and is still creating as we write,) but you can't honestly think that McCain would have fixed anything, can you? He would have bombed Iran before Feb. 1, and we would have all been under a nuclear cloud the next day. There's the change America needs!
Hillary is not Bill. Bill is not the devil. All this vitriol because a virile man had a few blow jobs by a woman of age, and got caught. By whom? Oh, just Republican lawmakers who were doing the same things or worse, but because Dems don't call them on it, they can do one thing and get outraged by same. Did Bill err when he hedged the truth in front of the committee? Yes, but who among you would have not done the same? These things have been going on with Presidents forever (ever hear about JFK and Marilyn?) Was he impeached? Does that make it right, no, but it's life. These people are human beings. McCain cheated on his injured wife with Cindy the heiress. Did that ever come up from Dems during the campaign? Nope. Not the issue, any more than Bill Ayers was an issue, or Sam the idiot plumber.

How disappointing for so many Obama fans – he's picking all Washington Insiders – Vote for Change? Maybe Barbara Walters should have had Sen. Obama on her show and asked him the same question she asked Sen. McCain – "What are you going to change? You?"

It's business as usual in Washington – Sen. Clinton for SecState and President Clinton's former picks, a lobbyist (Daschle- even though he's not registered as one), a Sen. and Democratic party insider for his Chief of Staff .....just for starters....he's filling the cabinet with party favorites and all politicians – where are the experts who actually know how to do things other than run for a political office?

I suppose it's time to say "Gotcha" to the youth and other misguided folks who really believed Sen. Obama when he said "Vote for Change". But, I guess that they're probably not paying attention to the details – never did – that's too hard.

To jrzshor:

The first Secretary of State was Thomas Jefferson. Other early SoS's include James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams, all of whom went on to be presidents.

In the twentieth century, some notable SoS's have included William Jennings Bryan (a key figure in reforms around the turn of the century), John Foster Dulles (more bang for your buck!), Henry Kissinger, and Madeline Albright.

I've left a couple out, but yeah, a few of them are far from obscure!

The Clintons are used to bending rules, but tying them in knots? Spare me.

Hillary should take Reid's job since he has been a terrible leader in the Senate and the Dems should look for a replacement for Pelosi. Our new President will require plenty of support from Congress to repair our nation and dealing with "leaders" who only give excuses is not acceptable. We need buldogs in both houses to reregulate our financial industry, repair our economy and balance our federal budget. Reid and Pelosi have a reputation for taking things off the table and allowing our nation to crumble without recourse. If America is to expect true "Change", leadership in Congress must be an integral part of the plan!!!

only people that are gaining from a bush administration supports him. must be rich folks or the ones making millions in contracts!
=======================================
Those on this site who believe things have been less than disastrous under the Bush years scare me. They belong to the 17% who approve of Bush, which leaves me to believe they have made millions in defence contracts or they have not lived in this country for the last 7 years.

Republicans are really jealous of the Democrats and are envious of the history they know will be made when this young man with a foreign name, cleans up the mess of the GOP years and sets our country once again, on the path of greatness.
=======================================

Whatever HIllary does she will do well.
She's a smart woman and will make the right decision.

Please keep her in the Senate. Eight more years of the Clintons, I personally can not handle....

Hillary would be an excellent choice for Secretary of State. She has already met most of the world leaders and knows exactly what the job entails. People accused her of being the co-president when Bill was in office and now claim she knows nothing about what is going on. Give us a break. The Clinton and democrat haters are just whining again because the republicans had the White House for 8 years and proved again that they were inept. They trashed the country's image and it's economy. The voters threw the republicans out of office in large numbers in 2006 and again this year. What part of "Get Out" are they having trouble with?

Please find something that will appeal to Hillary. I want her far away from the Obama Administration.

It is a trust factor and I still don't trust the Clintons.

You morons are like two neighbors arguing about their fence, while their houses are burning down.You should be watching C span and learning something useful.

Many of you are Morons. Bohawks whole staff is ex clintons he has no ideas of his own this wont be printed because CNN is just plan bias was during primary and will be for the next 4 yrs

Hillary, you are needed in the Senate for the people that put you there. I am or was and maybe again a loyal supporter of yours, HOWEVER, Obama, is a big boy and he needs to show us what he can do for us. If you and the rest of the jumpers on, crowd do it for him than he is really just curtains on the window. In other words he made all these promises during the 2yr campain. Am I correct in thinking he was just a slick BS artist and now that he has the job he can't do the job. Don't be a turncoat. The time I met you in Albany, were you just using NY ers after all?

Caleb

You better be glad we have Obama another republican in office will be diaster, we would sink even further if mccain had won. all you Obama haters I bet you shut the heck up once things start to turn around under Obama's rule, which they will in time. My advice is shut the hell up now so you won't look so stupid, but maybe that's to late too.

A decision about Clinton needs to be settled. This is fast becoming a sloppy circus... again, everything is all about the Clintons. To turn that page is one of the reasons I voted for Obama. I understand the process, but this needs to come to an end.

If I was Hillary, I would hold out for a United States
Supreme Court appointment.

HERES FOR YOU OBAMA FOLLOWERS FULL OF HATE, --YOU. YOUR THE REASON THERE WILL BE NO UNITY. YOUR ALL YOUNG SCUMBAGS. OBAMA IS ALL TALK.

To: arc, Lugano CH,

I regret voting for your candidate! The only reason I finally decided to vote was simply to put a democrat in the WH, but listening and reading all this crap, makes me hate myself for voting for Obama. But then again, my vote really didn't count–JM took Texas! But, I won't do it again that's for sure. Why do you people hate the Clinton's? Could it be because you are intimidated by their knowledge. Afterall, they do know politics!

I doubt this will get posted. CNN has a problem posting anything I have to say.

I acknowledge that traditionally, a former Secretary of State has a difficult time making a solid Presidential run, but given her campaign achievements this year and her household familiarity with average citizens, I doubt she'd be faced with the same obstacles as those in the past. Everyone already knows that she's strong on Domestic Issues, and she has the Clinton name behind her, as well.

That said, however, I think that Hillary should take the Secretary of State role rather than being enticed back into the Senate. Eight years may as well be light years away, and I'd be surprised if she'd be able to make a viable run in 2016 regadless of her actions over the next two terms. No matter what Harry Reid promises, she will not be a ranking member of the Senate. Secretary of State is a great consolation prize, and it's her best chance of getting anywhere near the White House again.

Some of you posters are a joke. No matter who Obama picks it will be a problem. I guess you guys would love to see the McShame/Palin cabinets" The Huck, and Rudy, Romey, half of the Bush regime etc.

I want change, not Clinton.

TrueIndependant–
not a defense contractor making millions, but a lowly public servant who for years has seen what liberal policies can do to an education system.

Congratulations to President -elect Obama for your choices so far for the cabinet. Don't listen to those critics who keep hammering on you not choosing new faces for your nominations, choose the right people that are experienced whether new face or old face.

We all looking forward to your success for the next eight years.

The change is about policies not faces. Those who criticized you just want you to choose new faces that are not experience so that you will fail.

You always made the right decisions, don't listen to senseless criticism.

God bless President elect Obama, Vice President Biden, their Family, staff, and America.

Make her SoS, stay a Senator, Helath care guru, ANYTHING but an appointment to ANY court.

I thought we were done listening to all of the clinton melodrama. If i wanted to watch a soap opera I would've turned on the tv. God I wish these people would vanish into obscurity

has any sec of state gone on to anything other than oblivion?

Actually, I hope she does not take it. She is starting to piss me off again, its alway drama when the Clintons are involved. At least Obama offered it to her. If she says no, then he will give it to his second choice and no one can ever say, she campaigned for him and he did not even offer her a position.

Do they know something we don't?

CNN please do not report unamed sources at all.
If you are reporting News wait till the Obama staff makes official to the Press what and who has been choosen.

Your speculating and thats not good journalism .

Your projecting information thats not been confirmed by the Obama Staff Transition team Publically.

I know you want to fill your pages but do it with real news not speculative stories from unknown sources .

Hillary Clinton will do whatever she wants .

I would like Bill Richardson for Dept of Energy with a focus on Alternative energy i.e. Non-Nuclear Water based atom plants instead of Nuclear ,Wind Mills power,Water mill power ,Solar Electric and Solar Heat ,and cars that run on Electric ,air and water based engines.

Remember Obama will be President and the final decisions will be his .

Hillary is the best person EVER for the Job of Secretary of State.
She's been all over the world, and world leaders respect her. She would be the one to repair what the last 8 years have done to us on an international level. Other countries absolutely Hate us !
all because of the "Bush" policies !! And Condeleza Rice is nothing but a "Yes" person, not to mention Bushe's "puppett"

Larry Coury

TO: Artrina

I agree with you. It is funny how negative people in this world is.
Hate HRC!
Hate Bush!
Hate Obama!

But what they must hate is their own ignorance.

Truly sad to see so many pessimists. I'm glad to know that all of you have secure jobs and excellent health care. If you think Obama will make the country worse off than Bush, you are one of the richest 1%, congratulations. If you think Obama is going to pick people who have no experience in the White House to be members of his cabinet, then you are beyond help. If you complain he has too many people from the Clinton administration, then you are very new to politics. The only Democratic president in the past 20 years has been Clinton so get over it ok? A lot of us have put up with 8 years of an inept president yet you are complaing about Obama before he even takes office. If you have nothing good to say about the country starting 1/20/08 when Obama will actually be president, then close your eyes, put your finger on a map and leave.
CNN quit moderating, I am only speaking the truth.

Those on this site who believe things have been less than disastrous under the Bush years scare me. They belong to the 17% who approve of Bush, which leaves me to believe they have made millions in defence contracts or they have not lived in this country for the last 7 years.

Republicans are really jealous of the Democrats and are envious of the history they know will be made when this young man with a foreign name, cleans up the mess of the GOP years and sets our country once again, on the path of greatness.

The only option I support Hilary Clinton taking is going back home and shutting up. Not because she's a woman, but because she's a liar, a cheater and she is only out for more personal power.

To: Mary from Sarasota FL,

What about Obama? He has less experience than Clinton, but he will be our president. Your argument is pointless. Please educate yourself.

And you don't think for a minute that her corrupt husband has any influence on her? Don't think that he is not schooling her but then he probably has to wear a football helment around the house to protect himself from the flying ashtrays.

Wake up America. She has been trying to run the country for years. Her healthcare plan is a disaster. She still wants to give healthcare to everyone but does not realize someone has to pay for it. Smooth move there New York for allowing her and slick Willie ever move there to begin with. And just think of all those months of smiling at the camera and saying "what aspirations are you talking about, me running for President" knowing all along behind the doors she is planning her strategy for her run at the presidency.

How much of all of this just media wanting to fill air space?? How much of this is Republican sour grapes? How much is the media fascination with the Clintons?

Just because a person worked in the Clinton administration doesn't mean they have sold their minds, hearts and souls to them. The people who were affiliated with Clinton administration are mainly people who supported Pres. Elect Obama over Clinton in the primaries...thus they are more Obamanites than Clintonites.

Best people for the jobs to get us out of the mess should be the only criteria...period.

Harry Reid and Barney Franks are responsible for part of the mess in the housing industry now. Just what we need another politican running off at the mouth. Hey Harry, your smoking again, you got to stop it.

choose wisley obama. what's going on with dick cheney??

Seem like honeymoon is over in democratic party
Hillary is more qualified person for Secretary of state
She don’t need to work under Obama administration because she has a bright future

This new job offer seems so phony. On her losing the candidate position Reid said she would get no special treatment on her return to the Senate just like everyone else. The Kennedy surrogates ridiculed and put down her request to chair a new committee about health just about a week ago. Now all these offers – are they afraid that Hillary will taint poor Obama and all of a sudden he needs to be protected from her and they will try and woo her to keep her in the Senate away from him? Seems Daschle has gotten himself some nice plum position as head of HHS and will be working with Kennedy – two of Obama's largest backers – so why is Hillary's opinion on health so important now when it wasn't last week? If I was a conspiracy theorist I would say the good old boy's network seem to want to make the show all about Obama and will do just about anything to keep "that woman" in her place and out of the way of him. The more promises of change, the more things stay the same....

Hillary is about as qualified to be Secretary of State as I am. The media started the big "Hillary is a big SOS choice". She makes me sick. I hope she stays in NY so she can't affect the rest of the country. Obama is crazy if he chooses her for a major role-although,knowing her, she has probably threatened him into choosing her.

Doug... You think Bush is bad right now... but after one term of Obama... God help us.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Obama camp came out and confirmed any of CNN's speculative reporting.

Try just reporting the news instead of printing rumors.

The same old Washington insiders, Biden, Daschle, Holder, Richardson, Clinton and the organized labor, and there is no real change. Michelle Robinson Obama would make a better president, and commander-in-chief.

In my humble opinion, Hilary Clinton is a brilliant politician, articulate and a Washington insider who would be an excellent choice for any public position that is offered to her. As a former first lady, she was quite involved with her husband's foreign policy decisions.

Hey, this nation's character, its brand, and its reputation is in severe need of repair after the past eight years. We all know it, all sides.

The world is showing strong support for Obama. They have always demonstrated strong support for Hillary. She is a tough and articulate fighter, arguably the "second best in the land" having garnered over 18 million votes in the election. Obama is looking for the best available, and he deserves those people. Hillary is certainly our best choice.

Funny that everyone says give him a chance. He is already being given chances and will be given plenty more. Everytime he makes a decision he has a chance to show his judgement and direction.

His VP choice was a chance.
His COS was a chance.
His GA choice is a chance.
His SOS choice is a chance.

Just because he is not yet in officially in office, does not mean he isn't given a chance to show his judgement.

I hope she takes the Secretary of State position. Health care now has the status of the Holy Grail, thanks to Americans who thought voting for George Bush a second time around was smart.

You wanted it, people, and you got it. Too bad the rest of us have had to live with it.

As Secretary of State, Clinton will have a chance to accomplish things. She is respected, revered and beloved around the world, for those of you who take pleasure in calling her stupid, hate-filled names.

You all sure like a bunch of misogynist jerks right about now!

She'd be good as secretary of state.
She's a good senator.

She'd be an excellent addition to Obama's staff, no matter if she's secretary of state or secretary of another department. She's intelligent, independent, witty, politically savvy. Goodness knows that we haven't had that since General Powell left (which was a very good decision on his part - being attached to the Bushies isn't something I'd applaud on a resume).

We've got a chance for the first time in 8 years to see America be the America we want her to be. It'll take longer than 4 years to undo all the damage the Bushies did, it might even take longer given the extent of the damage both at home and abroad, but we've got a new president who has brains, ability and the opportunity to make America great again. It's definitely the dawn a better time in America than we've had in a long time.

3/4's of Obama's cabinet is already old dog Clintonians.., might as well bring them back too. Defacto co-presidents, which includes Bill of course. Before acting on any of Obama's agenda, we'll look to the Clintons for their nodes of approval..

What substantive qualifications does Hillary have to advise and implement U.S. foreign policy? Her appointment would be a cruel joke on America.

They live in a disfuntional house.

Hillary is great, but I want Bill Richardson as SOS.

If they were cowtowing they would have made the nominee!
She is worth her service and THEY ALL KNOW IT!

We need a strong, resilient person as SOS and Hillary is Obama's best candidate.

Or didn't anyone catch the charming Al-Queda commentary last night concerning our recent election?????
Pretty Ugly Bigoted Stuff.
Al-Queda HATES non-Muslim Everybody-Liberals too!
Yes, they kill Jews, random civilians and US soldiers but they torture and humiliate Western journalists (before they kill them!)

Hillary for SOS.

Hillary is one of the strongest politicians I have every had the opportunity to observe. She should have been the POTUS, however due to our sexist, biased society (media is mostly to blame for this one), we are stuck w/ BO. However, he would do well to appoint her to SOS. That way, people can see her in action, even those self hating women out there, and if BO fails, she can run again.

I thought Obama was the agent for change. Looks like I may have wasted my vote because he is trying to bring in a "same old, same old" Clinton retread administration. Hillary most likely won't take the SOS job because it might hurt her chances to take over the big chair in 2012. She had a scare when it looked like Sarah Palin might eclipse her as potentially the most powerful woman in the world.
Hillary is about Hillary and how she can maximize her power and wealth. The SOS gig might taint her if things go bad and Barack has to ditch her for commenting on presidential matters if and when she tries to act like she's the president.

C'mon Barack, don't taint your potential legacy by bringing in the same hagged out politicians that brought us into this deep dark economic abyss.

Hello. I used to be Rick but a far left leaning fellow has taken that name and i don't want to confused with him. I am not far right but more right middle. Just so some of you clowns would know. Especially Peter (CA) the biggest clown of all. So thanks for reading the truth

Hillary as Secretary of State? That is a laugh!!! She is a selfish single minded person, along with her infedel husaband Bill! We as a Nation need to move on, we do not need two Presidents, for that is what she would try to be! Both the Congress and the Senate need to wake up! They both need to stop helping the Corprate greed, and focus on those who really are hurting, do they greed! The American taxpayers!

Ed

As great a position as Secretary of State is, I believe that Mrs. Clinton could do a lot more good for NY as well as for the Country, in the Senate.

Plan B..

I think she just doesnt want to serve under Obama so she can run against him in 2012 but that want help our economy. We need 16 yrs of Dems to put this country back on track; 2 terms for President Obama and 2 for Hillary. We will have the healthcare reform in this term, was she paying attention to what was being express to the American people by her formal rival. I say get over yourself , step up to the plate and lets do what is right for all Americans.If he didnt think she was best qualified for the position, why would her consider her? She doesnt want the position because she is a sore looser just like John McCain.

All the positive attention must have put a smile back on Hillary's face. I hope she goes for sos. That office would keep her in the spot light, rather than a contrived position in the Senate.

How about "Interim President", starting immediately. Bush is still pushing for another Free Trade Bill. Also, Bush has pledged to Veto "Extending Unemployment Benefits". He has put the knife in America . . . and now 'laughs', as he Turns the Knife!

For God sakes, you Republicans, we Democrats have had to swallow your and Bushes failed policies for eight years. Do you have your heads in the sand? Do you not watch the news? Do you never read? One would think so from your comments. Obama will pick the best of the best for the positions in his cabinet. Hillary will do well no matter where she is. She wants our country to succeed and become the most admired country in the world once again. So does Obama. The mess they will take over may not be fixable, no thanks to G.W. Bush.

I wish the people on the posts who think Hillary could take Senator Reid's place as the Senate Leader would check the rules.
She is just a Junior Senator. A sophomore in the Senate with no real pull ... She works at the pleasure of the senior senators...
She would have a whole LOT more pull if she becomes the SOS.
and the rest of you people who hate HIllary Clinton and the Clintons per se: PLEASE either Get OVER IT or stop whining about it.

OH NO,IM TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT HILLARY,WHAT MAKE HER THINK AMERICA WANT HER DIRTY POLITICS?GOD FORBID

hillary clinton is a smart hard working dedicated woman who will be great in what ever position barack and she decide on. he is going to be the best president this country has had in a long time. we've had a few this century ie FDR, JFK, WJC and he will join their ranks. i see hope in this country again, something that has been missing these last 7 1/2 years. the world awaits his and her decision and i am so very proud of them and us again. i will be going to DC for the inauguration to see history happen so i can say "we were there". thank God the long nightmare is almost over.

I don't want her to be bo's servant. She should stay in the senate. They need people like her who work across the isle and actually get stuff done.

I am sure that President-Elect Obama knows what's going on and is just letting the Media and others blab about what they think. Hillary will stay in the Senate and be a leader of some sort but not Secretary of State. I hope that President-Elect Obama makes Bill Richardson the Secretary of State and Hillary be placed in some kind of health position. After all she did say that she had to duck from sniper fire and lied about so many things when she was running to be President so her character is in question and her truthfulness is also. We are trying to get America's credibility back not keep it tarnished.

This Clinton unit will serve well under the Obama Administration. Should Obamamatrix 1 decide to use a Republican, the Chuck Hagel unit would be an adequate choice as well.

Hiliary Clinton is indeed a fantastic and fabulous professional to be in offered some outstanding role in this government. She will add much to the running of things in Washington, due to her knowledge and affability.

Any offer to her should not be perceived as bringing back Bill Clinton 's cronies to Washington, swindling or cowtowing. Barack obama offered Change from Bush,'s screw-up of things, not change from what was good hithertofore.

She should stay in the Senate and should work with Obama. His success is her success and vice versa.

Yes We Did!

Jackie in NY
What difference does it make we are screwed no matter what at this point.

Jackie, please wake up! We have been screwed for the last eight years. Is it so difficult to think positive and actually get behind someone who is truly trying to make a difference for everybody! There is a lot of hurt and pain going on in this world. Why is so wrong for the world to be optimistic about a new direction? Is it the American Way for people to suffer to find jobs and put food on the table to feed their families. Shouldn't you be able to work hard and retire and actually have money to retire on? WHAT IS SO WRONG with people wanting a better way in life, not a handout, just an opportunity! The country will be greater for it.

Hey Obama, what the heck? You ran your ENTIRE campaign on change, and now it's Clinton this and Clinton that. We didn't WANT them OR their regime. What are you pulling?

Hillary Clinton is nothing but a shameless opportunist.

Her entire political career has been motivated by nothing other than her own needs and interests.

Why did she run for Senator in New York to begin with? She never lived there. She had no ties at all to the state.

Simple, She saw it as the easiest way to springboard herself onto the national political spotlight for her own agenda.

Why would you want someone to have any part in government with that mindset?

Your right Jackie in NY its still a real mess no matter who he brings in. Why did the media hate George Buss so much, he said what he would do, no surprises, He will go down in History as one of the best Presidents ever. The young people of today, have no values, no knowledge of the world, the way it used to be and its very sad. Obama is a joke, change, Ha1

You know...life is a lot easier and more rewarding when you don't act like such a whiny pessimist.

And MD, TX – it's "kowtow". And I don't think they are doing so at all. As much as I did not support Clinton's presidency bid, she is one of the strongest Dems in the Senate. It never said she was demanding a promotion...it only insinuates that maybe she is interested in being more involved in this administration. Stop seeing the terror and awfulness in everything. You will be much happier in the long run, I promise.

She wants! She wants!

Old Shrillary still doesn't get it, does she? I'm sick and tired of the Clintons and their ENTITLEMENTS....

NO CLINTONS

I'd rather her stay in the Senate and offer pro-administration leadership on the important legislation that will be coming up. I also believe, that despite all the talents and gifts that HRC would bring to the state department, Gov. Bill Richardson would still be a better choice.

I think she is the best person for the job, it will help him politically in the future to have her in that post. I think she will be a very good seceraty of state.

Hilary Clinton would be a very strong choice for Secretary of State. But there are others too. However, in the time since June, and in the future will Hillary Clinton and her Hillaryland supporters be able to accept that the world no longer revolves around her and them and work with President Obama on carrying out his agenda?

As a NY resident who believes Senator Clinton has done a lot of good for NY, I hope she stays in the Senate. As a USA resident I hope she does become Secretary of State as she'll do a lot of good for the country. Either way, I win.

"although multiple Democratic sources said Clinton made it known to the leadership prior to her meeting with Obama that she wanted a new role."
People in Hell want ice water.

Please not Secretary of State
Please not Secretary of State.....

I think Hillary would do an excellent job being the Secretary of State.

God, I don't trust this woman!

Clinton haters in 1..2..3...

All these unnamed sources is just bull. It's probably beign all orchastrated by Obama. He probably never thought bill would agree to vetting or that Hillary would want the job. Now he needs to do something to stop her from becoming the SOS quick call Harry Reid make her an offer. Obama is full of drama either publicly offer her the job or offer it to someone else just stop it.

I know every media source has HRC moving right into the Sec. of State Position, but I don’t think that is where she wants to be. It doesn’t make sense for her politically. The last Sec of State that moved to the Presidency occurred 152 years ago (thanks Hardball). In the Senate, she has the best of both worlds, so to speak. If Obama succeeds, she can say that she worked diligently with Team Obama to ensure his legislation was enacted and that his agenda was became law in 2016. If Team Obama struggles out of the gate, she can say that she is the alternative and pull a Ted Kennedy and run in 2012. You can run as an outsider when you are an insider…

Take a breathe, you two. The world will keep on turning. Obama hasn't even been given a chance yet and even if he does turn out to be a horrible president, we've survived them before. Jackson, Hoover, GEORGE W. BUSH!

MD, TX...America certainly was swindled...under the very worst President in our history, George Bush. What a joke he was (among many other things).
Hillary should replace Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.

America will be well served no matter what Hillary decides to do.

Amazing that the democrats have to cowtow to this woman. This is the "leadership" that Americans elected into power? What a horrific joke. America has been swindled.

What difference does it make we are screwed no matter what at this point.
