I think if Obama wants to 'honor' Clinton, he should appoint her ambassedor to some small Carribean country.  The Lloyd's of Tortalla, perhaps.

She's intelligent, articulate, with a very forceful personality, but I don't see where she has the foreign policy background to be credible as Secretary of State.

Her resume better fits Attorney General.

Her politics make me hope she gets neither.  Leave her in the Senate where she can do comparatively little damage.

I don't think I do.  That's why I want to see her stay in the Senate.  Not much harm a power-hungry bitch can do there that isn't already being done.

Status: offline 		greetings Orion :)  and Eeveryone else

as everyone knows i did not vote for President Elect Obama, and although not happy with Him as President, i hope and pray He is all everyone hopes He is.  this country needs a good and strong Leader.

but the idea of Hillary in any office in the government, makes me  i have always considered her the anti-christ.

Status: offline 		According to a few articles Obama is filling up all the post with Clinton supporters, none of them supported him even after Hilary withdrew.  It makes one wonder who really won and what back room deals were made?  In Hilary campaign she tried to protray herself as a Master of Foreign Affairs, when all was said and done, it seemed Hilary was a Master of Tall Tales about herself.  
 
Another Clinton supporter, Rahm Emanuel, is picked as Obama White House Chief of Staff.  Prior to this he sat on the Board of Directors for Fannie Mae, thanks to Bill Clinton, in his first year his salary jumped from $31,060 in 2000 to $231,655 in 2001.  We all know what happen to Fannie Mae and how the taxpayers are going to bail them out.   Emanuel has been discribed as being "Colorful" this include making public death threat against people he sees as his enemies.
 
The Clintons have extensive business dealing with China it going to be interesting to see how China is going to get rich as well as the Clintons in making trade agreements, with is what the Secretary of State does.  So much for change.

If so, not really surprising---Democrats with experience are going to come from the Clinton years, unless we go back to the Carter years, 30 years ago.

But then again, Cheney and Rumsfeld were from the Nixon Administration, so who knows?

I've heard that floated, but probably she's seen as too political for the post.

Mario Cuomo (though that would make Conservatives flinch), has been mentioned in the past, and he's certainly brilliant enough for the post. Still politically viable....that's another story, and I've no idea what the Obama team's perspective might be on such past musings. Perhaps he'd be seen as balance to Alito, Roberts and Scalio.

Obama doesn't seem entirely stooopid to me. Or are you just trying to be mean, LOL?
 
What next?  The Bushes as cabinet members as well?
 
BTW, there are news reports about the activities of the Obama transition team...anyone following the story?  Have they chosen Chief of Staff yet?

Perhaps he will make Bush ambassador to the Netherlands and they can try the sob for the war criminal he is.
