Obama transition team eyes Bill Clinton's dealings

Newsday ^

Nonetheless, sources close to Hillary Clinton have told Newsday and other news outlets that she is still not sure she wants the job.

"He [Obama] is trying to figure out how to handle Bill, and, quite frankly, she's trying to figure out how to handle Bill," said a source familiar with the confirmation process. "You can't have foreign dictators financing the pet projects of a husband of a secretary of state."

I’m already tired of hearing about Obama and his Obamacorns.

I like Rush’s take on this...

Did Obama offer Hillary Secretary of State because he knows that Bill won’t pass the vetting process and the Clintons will look bad?

my thoughts... good way to get rid of Hill & Bill and still look good. LOL

Total bs. They both will do what Soros and Friends want them to do.

Yep...exactly.

When the puppet master, soros and his stage hands pull the strings, obama/the clintons and all their little minions will jump about and mouth the words that have already been written for them.

Obama wants the name and pager number of Bill’s dealer.

[TheOgre]

LOL. I bet Bill won’t want the number for Larry Sinclair.

It's worth reminding people that at this point in 2000, Bill Clinton was still refusing to release transition funds to George Bush to start putting together his administration.

Bush didn't get the funds until mid-December, and then had to rush to form his administration.

Then, eight months later, while Democrats in the Senate were still blocking his appointments for his second- and third-tier deputies,, 9/11 happened.

You would hope that Bill and Hill have something on Obama - like being born in Mobassa.

Why is Hillary subjecting herself to this?

Maybe Hillary is thinking that 69 isn't too old to run for President--she'll be younger in 2016 than McCain is now--and 4 years as Sec. of State could set her up nicely for the 2016 primaries. Meanwhile, Bill can make so much money from foreign governments while she is Sec. of State that they'll be billionaires in 4 years.

I'm saying 4 years because it's rare for any Sec. of State to serve longer than that...I think only James Madison, John Quincy Adams, and Cordell Hull have served 8 years (Hull even longer than that). Hillary would use Obama's second term gearing up for 2016...assuming he hasn't gotten rid of the 22nd amendment by then.

Neither Hillary or Gore would give up their little side business to become a cabinet member. Bill is not going to give up his money for love.
