She can go prancing around the world stage, but her role will be largely ceremonial since Obama will be a strong and decisive leader, unlike Bill Clinton who let Maddie Albright set his foreign policy. If Hillary expects to pull that, I think she will come up short. Clinton as SOS is the best way to keep her at a distance.

In that case, she can't cancel the campaign's debt to her because of the aformentioned campaign donation restrictions. If you don't want to contribute, don't. But it is ridiculous to think this is any different than what loads of other candidates do, they take out loans banking on the chances of future success and the forecast of the resulting future donations.

I disagree with Tom from 4:05, I think she's been around the world enough that people will give her their full attention and appreciate the position she's proposing. And, with the heavy work she did, while not quantifiable in terms of actual votes, Obama has to feel some appreciation towards her and giving her this post is "fair" in his mind. Look, dude was smart enough to get to this point, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he actually makes a bad decision. That'll still be quite a few less than President Bush.

As for "Bucks for Bubba", forget it. There's a lot of hurt this holiday season and lot of fine organizations trying to help out. They need the funds. As Bill can earn as much as $500,000 an hour for a speaking engagement, "my heart bleeds". Sorry, checkbook's closed.

Maybe she shouldn't have spent more money than she had? Now there's a concept for the ages...

I love Obama and his new picks but I will not contribute a dime to people who are financially better of than me. They need to send me a donation..... I did take some words out of this revised version. Maybe now they'll post it.....Good grief. CNN did not post my previous blog....Let me say it again.

Not to mention her husband, stolen items from the whitehouse and the lamp throwing. Barack arrogantly ducked the question yesterday asking why he changed his opinion of Clintons experience but it still does not change the fact that he put out a 4 page report spelling out her lack of experience. You can't just say "ohh it was all just part of the campaign" Or was this more of Baracks lies to America like the big one of Change in government.

The very people that got them elected are still the very people that are watching the equity in their homes diminish, retirement accounts flatline or worse, and are desperately hanging on to every nickel. I find it disgraceful that our President-elect (who is about to live rent free for 4 or more years) is asking for money to help the already fortunate cabinet members.

It is hard to believe that in this economic crisis these very wealthy folks are still asking for hand outs.
