libra217, ''she worked her heart out enthusiastically campaigning for Obama in the general.''

She didn''t seem to be working very hard for Obama--just turning up occasionally!

If I were Pres.-elect Obama I would have to come up with a good reason not to pick Gov. Richardson who the job is tailor made for and who along with Hispanic voters supported Sen. Obama when it mattered. If Secretary of State goes to someone other than Gov. Richardson Pres.-elect Obama would be wise to find an important slot for him.

Hillary would make a terrible Secretary of State. Obama has already had one Judas get the ok. to continue his rancid ways and now another Judas is the form of Hillary and Bill Show. They will kiss you on the check and betray you behind your back. Our country needs new leaders, not a re-run of the Clinton years. Bill gave us NAFTA...are we now going to have the ll million illegals become legal citizens (including Obama''s aunt). This will really be the straw that broke the back of our country for good. Look out depression, here we come.
We have other worries today, we are in our 70''s and sold our home to move into a duplex and now the owner is selling. My husband is quite ill and so am I. Where do we go from here and how do you move in the wintertime in Illnois. I know we won''t have someone come from the White House and move us, we will be on our own. Maybe we will just auction everything off, give the rest away to Goodwill and live in our old 15 year old motorhome in the desert somewhere. I will miss being able to comment and relate to others but I guess our time will be over soon. Time is fleeting, but time is coming.

I don''t think anyone can contol her and her giant ego.

It''s not a question of "controlling" her. She will do the right thing (promoting Obama''s foreign policies) on her own. She showed her true character with her classy concession speech when the primaries ended and by the way she worked her heart out enthusiastically campaigning for Obama in the general.

Bill already said he thought the whole Obama thing was "one big fairy tale",

Bill did not say that about "the whole Obama thing". He said it specifically about the idea that Obama had been opposed to the Iraq war "from the beginning".

The old saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" sure holds true here. The GOP claimed Palin was a rogue...I can''t see H. Clinton being anything but a rogue. No doubt she is VERY capable, but whose agenda will she be pushing. I sure don''t see four years from her as Secretary of State. Too volitile

I agree that it''''s risky, but for different reasons.

I don''''t see Hillary humbling herself sufficiently so as to be Obama''''s subordinate - maybe because I''''ve heard her call herself superior to him too many times......

Semper Fi Sgt.


Bill already said he thought the whole Obama thing was "one big fairy tale", and he didn''t have his heart in his campaigning for him.

If Obama chooses Hillary, all I see is one fight after another for the next 4 years.

Another thing, what''s up with Obama picking people he ran againist to be in his cabinet? Looks like the campaign all over again.

The WORLD LEADERS LAUGHED at the U.S. when the Republicans went on the Clinton "witch hunt" over a B.J. You idiots are STILL dumb enough to judge Clinton''s EFFECTIVENESS as a GREAT PRESIDENT based on THAT????

All I know is when Clinton was in office, we had PEACE AND PROSPERITY. All you lunk heads can focus on is what was in his pants...you folks NEED to GET a life...either that, or some dirty magazines to occupy your time. Pathetic!!

Clinton haters get over it and go and get yourself some intensive therapy to help you deal with your paranoid inferiority. Too bad, so sad. Obama would be a fool not to give Hillary the spot. Look at what he''s surrounded himself with already. Of course, she''d always be playing second fiddle to someone who lacks the credible qualifications and experience she brings to the table, such as an Obama. He''s desperate to get this.

cdfoxtrot5, ''Bill Clinton was one....'' ''Was'' is the operative word! During the campaign he was a complete embarassment!
