CHICAGO (Reuters) - Sen. Hillary Clinton emerged on Thursday as a candidate to be U.S. secretary of state for Barack Obama, months after he defeated her in an intense contest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Putting Clinton, wife of former President Bill Clinton, in the position could help heal whatever lingering divisions remain in the Democratic Party after her bitter battle with Obama. ...

Apparently, that's enough.
Will she keep her mouth shut?.....
She’ll be right at home with the communist and leftists in the DOS.
certainly a place where she could wear her pantsuits
and be seen on global tv.
There’s NO way Hillary will put herself in a position where Obama could fire her.
can’t you just wait to see all the infighting???? clintins will be running the WH
Are we going to have anyone with relevant experience in the executive branch?
When I first read about it, I thought that would keep her from working behind the scenes to expose the failures of Obama’s administration, and pave her way for 2012. In exchange for her “good behavior” he could... well, maybe help her with the campaign debt. LOL, they deserve each other. But may God have mercy on the rest of us.
This is a move to shut her up and keep her out of the running in 2012.
Yeah but who replaces her might be worse. If she does get the SoS, she can travel the world showing of her new Mao wardrobe.
He doesn’t need a SOS with foreign policy experience. He has Biden, remember?
I love it that he’s picking all these old DC people. Where’s the change O supporters? You actually beleived his lies.
He said lobbyists wouldn’t get near the WH. I heard he said “That’s no longer practical.” Man, this guy is smearing crap in his voters’ faces.
HA! Hillary stoop down to the level of Secretary?? I don’t think so.
The White House is still in her sights until Obama takes the oath.
He needs the help from these old-time, Washington insiders because he doesn’t know what he is actually doing. For the first time in his life, he has a position where “the buck stops here.” Voting present is no longer an option.
I’m sure he’s trying to find a way to sign a law with out really signing it as we speak.
That’s okay with me. The sooner and the worse they ‘F’ things up, the sooner the lib-tards will be recognized for what they are and be removed from power.
Then we can start re-building a REAL Republic.
Not that I would want to see it, but she’d be well advised to begin campaigning for the U.N. sec-gen position that comes open in 3 years. That will allow her to compete with Barry.
Obama is president-elect and already a senator from another lib-tard state, ditto Biden who is VP-elect, and Schumer is ALREADY the 1st Senator from New York.
Then there's Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy who are ALSO already senators from lib-tard states.
No, I think the Senate is already peopled with the worst the Dems have to offer.
No Rudy couldn’t run for her Sernate seat becasue the vacancy would be filled by appointment from the Democrat Govenor who will not pick a Republican. There are not even any moderate dems left who could get the nod in NY so look for a radical, likely minority, leftist to take her place. not that it would be much of a change.
Better there than on the Supreme Court, which I don’t believe she has the temperment for, anyway.
from the fine people who brought you the drug dealing, genocidal mess in the balkans!
now with improved PANTSUITS!
