Hillary Clinton To Accept Secretary Of State Job

I didn’t want either one of them, and now we’re getting them both.

Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned.
Obama’s advisers have begun looking into Bill Clinton’s foundation, which distributes millions of dollars to Africa to help with development, to ensure that there is no conflict of interest. But Democrats do not believe that the vetting is likely to be a problem.
Clinton would be well placed to become the country’s dominant voice in foreign affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected senator for New York, she has specialised in foreign affairs and defence. Although she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama basically agree on a withdrawal of American troops.

Seems like Obama wants to heal the divide he created on the left when he didn’t pick Hillary as his VP. I mean, if Hillary is good enough for Secretary of State, why not VP?
Then again, there is the problem with your heart beat being the only thing standing between a Clinton and the oval office.

    I agree pcND, and would go one further and say if there is one position that must go to Hillary, I would probably choose SOS. The lady is tough. She will not be pushed around. Given Obama’s inexperience and weakness on foreign policy, I’m almost glad she took the job.

    Order of Presidential Succession:

    1. Barack Obama
    2. Joe Biden
    3. Nancy Pelosi
    4. Hillary Clinton

    God help us all.

    Ah yes, they will look into Bill’s dealings. Another Inspector Clouseau looking for questionable behavior of a Democrat. I will predict that they will find none; then, one week after Hillary is appointed some high school blogger will uncover some really bad stuff.

    I guess it could have been worst. It could have been John Kerry.

    Nah, he’ll get Sec. of Defeat Defense.

    The only silver lining is I honestly think he could have picked a LOT worse than her. Not saying a lot, but it definitely could have been worse!

    Rick:

    #4 will actually be Robert Byrd (President Pro Tem of the Senate)
    Hillary would be #5 if she were Secretary of State
