NYT Blog: Clinton Has Decided to Accept Offer of Secretary of State Position (per two confidants)

The New York Times ^ | 11/21/8 | Peter Baker

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Seems like a pretty stupid move on her part since she will be giving up a pretty strong power base in the Senate just to become an Obama lacky, unless she has secret other plans or knows something that Obama does not.

I can see Obama's reasoning about keeping his political rivals as close to him as possible, just like Abraham Lincoln did with Seward and Chase.

Regardless, this is probably a disaster in the making which will be fun to watch.

biden and pelosi n byrd..lolol

[pissant]

I’ll guarantee you Obama will be worse than slick willie.

[SERKIT]

So, the first time the big red bat-phone rings in the White House at 3am, Hillary will be calling Barry for some foreign crisis. Okay, I can sleep better at night. “Shame on you Barack Obama!” Even Joe Biden felt Barry was incapable of answering that phone. This is gonna be a LONG 8 years.

[Mr. Mojo]

Doesn’t that make her forth in line for POTUS?

Yes, but that would only happen if Biden, Pelosi, and (Sheets) Byrd all expired simultaneously.

And since the three states have demoncrat governors, I take it that there is no chance that they may appoint at least a RINO?

Changes
David Bowie

I still don’t know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I’d got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I’ve never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I’m much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don’t want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don’t tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where’s your shame
You’ve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can’t trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I’m going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock ‘n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you’re gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can’t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can’t trace time

This puts Hillary in a great seat of power; especially against Palin when the time comes.

[ScreamingFist]

Perhaps she knows something we don’t.....otherwise this is a political blunder of epic magnitude...

Yes Master I Will Do Your Bidding.
I Will Be A Good SOS. I Need No Indoctrination From
My Comrades In The State Dept.

I am WOMAN, hear ME roar!

[atlbelle44]

I don’t see this as a bad move for “us”. God forbid it could have been Kerry. She has always been very vocal on supporting the war against terrorism. At one point she stated, if Iran attacks Israel they would be obliterated. She will be okay in this job I think.

[cetarist]

I was thinking so too. But now she probably won’t run for president, which I think is a bonus.

[SFR]

True, no longer the anointed one, she would have become the VERY Jr Senator from NY

[Lady Jag]

You’re scaring me.

[Caribou]

Need the old lady from the Wendy’s commercials asking “Where’s the CHANGE”.

[duckman]

I guess she did all she could for NY. sarc

[boomop1]

She put tacks on his chair every chance she gets.

[frog in a pot]

She simply may be biding her time as a dedicated Party member. Does anyone think she and bubba did not have a Plan B?

STAND UP AMERICA! The presidential election is not over!
We voted for electors, not the individual candidates. The electors vote on or after December 15, 2009. The results are then presented to a joint session of Congress and objections may be heard on January 8, 2009.
See the letter on my About page hand-delivered to the local offices of my Republican Senators and Representatives. I urge you to take similar action, even if it is simply mailing a one page letter to Washington, D.C.
