Hillary Clinton to Become Secretary of State in Obama Administration

Hillary-to-Accept-Secretary

According to the U.K’s Guardian newspaper it is a done deal – Hillary Clinton will become the next Secretary of State.

Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned.

Obama’s advisers have begun looking into Bill Clinton’s foundation, which distributes millions of dollars to Africa to help with development, to ensure that there is no conflict of interest. But Democrats do not believe that the vetting is likely to be a problem.

Clinton would be well placed to become the country’s dominant voice in foreign affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected senator for New York, she has specialised in foreign affairs and defence. Although she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama basically agree on a withdrawal of American troops.

Good move for Hillary or bad move?

A GAFFE for Obama? Or a headache?

Or as Dick Morris represents: “A recipe for HELPLESSNESS?”

Some, like Hitchins are not too pleased and some think like Flap this is an opening for Rudy Giuliani.

Stay tuned…..

    Like it or not, this should be fun. Especially be interesting to see how they deal with Cuba. Their positions on the Cuba embargo are on pola opposites.

    if Hillary becomes the Sec. State, hopefully she will be able to concentrate on country-centric issues without being distracted by other drama or her career plans
