BREAKING: Clinton confirmed as Secretary of State
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The U.S. Senate approved the nomination of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state Wednesday by a vote of 94-2.
The two no votes came from Republican Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana and Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
No support here for her as SOS.
The ONLY reason she was on that stage on Tuesday was because
of who she was married to, not for anything she has done.
James F.: Thanks. Tell your friends and neighbors. From California to Vermont, the People can bring change to Washington. Hold them accountable!
Bloomfield NJ: Thank you!! This is what I want to read - not the same ol' same ol' from the "olden days." Hold them accountable! Now send your message to Vitter!
We love you Hillary. You will do a great job. Can't wait to vote for you in 2016. You are a true inspiration. My grandmother would be so happy right now. Obama made a great choice. Democrats rule.
People of Louisiana and South Carolina .... Please remember these two obstructionist idiots and kick them out of senate!
I wonder which country contributed most to Mr. Obama's campaign fund?
GO! HILLARY I was one of you supporters during the elections all the way through you are the right person for this job to be secretary of the state I admire you and your husband former president clinton you give our country pride and dignity and I know over the years to come our country will be safe under our new president Obama and all of his new democratic team
I think that Hillary was a good choice, but it will be an interesting first few months where the Obama/Biden/Clinton trifecta are still trying to find their groove. Ultimately, I think they will all find their strides and be okay, but still interesting in the meantime.
I'm wondering how many pills old Rush took yesterday and today after this does he have the guts to kick away the chair?
