Comments on: Obama Weighs Clinton, Richardson For State

President-Elect Considering Former Democratic Primary Rivals For Secretary Of State

[andor3]

more brilliance from Obama. Hillary would be a great choice on so many levels.

[allmymarbles]

Richardson is by far the better choice. Clinton is too confrontational, not the best quality for negotiation. Also there is the problem of Bill and his influence peddling.

[metsobitso]

Clinton as secretary of state would be a terrible setback to U.S. diplomacy and an insult to our standing in the world.

Bill and Hillary are known around the world for their underworld and shady dealing. The Clinton presidency had a history of the white water type real estate scams, firing staff and hiring family members for the travel office, mysterious deaths of key witnesses connected to their dealings, and well published dysfunctional family relationships. In the closing days of their white house they were selling pardons for profits.

Hillary Clinton makes Sarah Palin look like the princess Snow White.

After leaving office they have stashed millions in offshore Turks and Caicos bank accounts and continue with their shady dealing. The Clintons have alledged ties to Columbian drug cartels dating to their connection with Arkansas Mena Airport drug trafficing and lobbying for the Columbian government. As chairperson for the India Caucus, Hillary was intrumental in outsourcing millions in US jobs to India.

Hillary Clinton strrogly opposed Barack Obama%u2019s objection to the war in Iraq and suported and promoted our illegal invasion of a soverign state.

Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, would be a complete contradition of all the values we voted for in the last election.

Poor ignorant right-wingers..."commie! socialist! jew-hater!" your broken-record krap is old and stale...try to find some other nonsense to repeat non-stop!!!!!!

I understand registerd gun owners need not apply for a position in the chosen one''s cabinet. Does that go for his secret service and the citizens militia? You know, the militia that should be as well armed, as powerful and as well financed as our military. How neat would that be. We, the slumps would be unarmed but the chosen one''s own militia would be armed to the teeth. Look how well it worked in Germany.
As George Mason said "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them". That''s a direct quote. Don''t know who George Mason was, look it up.

I still recall how you happily reminded everyone who said several months ago that Obama was going to win,that the election was months away, and that not a single vote had been cast, and that polls aren''t believeable.....well who turned out to be wrong on that one, Rowdy?

PS - Prudent voter, you didn''t vote for "change", you voted to try to whitewash your mistakes from the past two elections (presidential and congressional) which bankrupted the country.

What you will end up with is "change" from the trillions that will need to be raised (taxes) to fix it.

[cbs4157]

Richardson has been the governor of New Mexico since 2002, and it is home to one of the most messed up infrastructures and out of control crime rates of any state in the union. Remember "COPS" - likley you saw them in Albuquerque.

Richardson publicly named Wen Ho Lee, an employee at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, as a suspect who might have given nuclear secrets to the Chinese government; Lee later was cleared of the charges and won a settlement against the federal government for the accusation. Richardson was also criticized by the Senate for his handling of the espionage inquiry, which involved missing hard drives with sensitive data, by not testifying in front of Congress sooner.

Richardson justified his response by saying that he was "waiting to uncover more information before speaking to Congress". Republican Senators called for Richardson''s resignation while both parties criticized his role in the incident.

It speaks volumes that Obama would even consider this goofball in the same league as Clinton.

[prudentvoter]

In the debates, Hillary Clinton didn''t even know who was the President of the Russia. She talked about landing in combat zones in Bosnia and working on the Northern Ireland peace accords, all lies. She is seen internationally as a fraud, and as a back woods lawyer who does deals, takes bribes and lies. They know her from the countless sleaze deals that came out of the Clinton white house. She would be an insult to the US as secretary of state.


The Secretary of State should be someone of impeccable integrity and decency. Someone who could command respect for their knowledge of geo politics and international relationships. Above all else, a person who is held in high esteem for their wise council and worldly wisdom.

The United States is trying to recover from the debacle of having the imbecile George Bush as head of state, a person who is universally despised around the world as an ogre. Now we are getting the Queen of Sleaze as secretary of state. Certainly Obama can do better.

I voted for change. If Hillary Clinton is secretary of state, I will vote for change again. Maybe McCain wasn''t so bad after all.

SO MUCH FOR CHANGE...
