Hillary Rodham Powell?

One thing I can say, despite the "change and hope" song Obama had been singing for a year, there will be politics as usual in Washington. Just look at his cabinet appointments, all old-timers. He could at least try to find a green, so called "untainted" one like himself.

Heh. The irony is too ''Rich'' [with surly apologies to the new AG,Holder], to ignore.

Through the last eight years we have been regaled with the accuasations from liberals that Bush and his administration at large, was in ''bed with the Arabs''.

Yet it turns out that Bush made not a dime off of said Arabs,and made none off of ''HALLIBURTON'' either.

We have one faction now enconsed in Washington with George Soros fingerprints all over it. [The Center for American Progress,who has given up frontman John Podesta to the new administration,is one of Soros'527 PACS]. Soros is one of the largest single owners in the world ,vastly eclipsing Cheney,of HALLIBURTON,at the personal ownership of over two million shares in this corporation.
The Clintons are another story. These are the nations [New York Times Nov.12,2008] who have shelled out hundreds of millions to this outfit:

The UAR

Bahrain

Kuwait

Kazakstan

Saudi Arabia

Qatar

Morocco

Oman

Oil sheikhs,crown princes,heads of state...Arabs. What will their influence buy under a Hillary State Dept.?

On November 15,2008,Bill Clinton gave a speech that briefly dwelt upon his wifes chances of becoming Sec.of State. This speech was given....in Kuwait. [C-SPAN 2 Nov.17,2008].

To give a job as important as Secretary of State to someone like Hillary Clinton, whose personal ambitions are number one on her agenda rather then the welfare of a nation, would be a mistake.
It's hard enough for Condi Rice to deal with the Middle Eastern view of woman, without having someone in office as pushy and bi#chy as Hillary.
In fact, what's wrong with keeping Condi on? She seems to be doing a fine job.

If Clinton has to have a bone tossed to her as a peace offering, how about Secretary of Agriculture, or Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, or even Secretary of Education? I don't think she or Bill could stir up much trouble in those fields.

Why don't we see the referrences to Ayers and Rezko anymore. If they had any truth to them wouldn't the righties be still harping on them? They were phony from the beginning and failed to gain anything for the Republicans. Maybe they were getting tired of the rebuttal including a long, long list of dispicable characters the Republicans bed down with?

Go figure people would support the Clintons. Someone who flat out point his finger at the TV talking to the country saying "I did not have sexual relations with that women." The point was not the multiple affairs, the point is that this country was ok with him lying to our face. Then you have his wife who supports it. So lets make sure they are a part of our leadership. It will fit perfect with Obama's admin.

marley07, Bill Clinton turned deficit into surplus and prosperity. Bush turned surplus and prosperity into deficit and recession. That's why Bill Clinton is revered as a leader and Bush has a unfavorable rating of 72%.

If you live in this country, you know the American people and Hillary were not "ok" with Clinton's adultery. We don't punish adultery severly here. if we did, we'd need a prison on every corner.

You are absolutely correct in your analysis of this situation. The Secretary of State position is definitely an opportunity for HRC. But, if she thinks that means she's going to set her own agenda, as you warn her, she will have a rude awakening. If she wants to improve her chances of succeeding Obama in 2016, the Secretary of State platform is much better for her than the Senate. It looks like even her husband realizes that and is willing to make sacrifices in order to make that happen. It's definitely a conundrum for HRC, but I think her ultimate goal is to be the first woman president of the United States, and her success as Secretary of State for eight years would almost guarantee that she would succeed Obama. The likelihood of this happening is almost certain. The only thing that could derail her confirmation as Secretary of State is Obama's vetting process. Carlos Jean-Gilles Saint Louis, MO

tired and old, I'm sure Hillary appreciates your enthusiastic support. now please take your nap.
