This just CYA after they got burned for not vetting her for VP.

No, this is pretty shrewd from Obama’s standpoint. Things go wrong, he can blame her and then get rid of her. And, she won't be in the Senate any longer to cause him trouble.

I would be a little surprised if she takes this job.

Why CYA now that he's won the election? Perhaps he made some overtures to X42 in the hopes they'd campaign for him, but promises are made to be broken as the Clintons should well know.

Frankly, for a person whose entire campaign was wanting change, all he does is appoint Clintonistas and having this albatross and her hubby around his neck would serve him right. I look forward to finally getting a Senator in my State who earns their $$$$ working for it.

Exactly! This is BS, she won’t be offered the post, and if so, wouldn’t take it.
