Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to make public the names of more than 200,000 donors to his foundation as part of a deal with President-elect Barack Obama to clear the way for Sen. Hillary Clinton to become secretary of state, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

Citing Democrats close to Clinton and Obama, the newspaper reported Clinton had decided to publish his contributor list to avoid an appearance of conflict of interest with his wife's duties as secretary of state.

...

The contributors' list is one of nine conditions that Clinton agreed to in his discussions with Obama's representatives, the newspaper reported.

“Difference is to the MSM, in 8 years being old won’t be an issue.”

she still has to look media ‘friendly’. But first let’s see if she makes it in Obama’s admin.

That’s a done deal. Obama is going to take this nation so far to the left that in 8 years Hillary will come off as the moderate elder statesman of the Democrat party.

Wow. . .

You need your own PoliBlog.

However, I dissent with you on Palin’s ability to unseat Hillary if McCain steps aside in 2011. If McCain goes in, then implements liberal policy and then decides to run again, he will be strongly challenged by conservatives in the primaries like Palin, etal. Never again will we be saddled by the results of democrat-lite policies as we have been by W.

Ping me with any more of your enlightening ruminations.

“Difference is to the MSM, in 8 years being old won’t be an issue. She will be a sasoned veteran with Foreign Policy experience.

Bank on it.”

Your cynicism reminds me of my own. Keep it up FReeper.

Me thinks opening this Pandora’s Box will be something the Obamas and Clintons both regret.

Obama....he’s a BLACK man and cities would burn and people would be KILLED.

Good excuse to declare Marshal Law.

Publish it! Does that mean that we peons will see it or only Barak and Sandy “Security Pant” Burglar?

Interesting that in the ObamaNation, it is important to do this so Hillary could get a job in the cabinet...but it was not necessary to release the names for scrutiny when Hillary was only asking to run our whole country including telling the State Department when to get up in the morning and when to go to the bathroom.

why the DNC would promote a Presidential candidate they knew from the beginning was Constitutionally ineligible.

It's the old "two bites of the apple" trick.

Not to mention "Martial Law" or even "Marital Law".

If Hillary had run as VP for Kerry, I have no doubt that they would have taken the Whitehouse. That would have put her in the best position for 2008. They messed up...sheer “greed”.

You forgot to factor in the double standard: she's a woman.

A seventy year old woman is a crone.

They'd better hope not. There's a lotta hinky stuff going on with the Toons' so-called charity work. And it's going to come back to bite Barry. Big time.

Barry, just like the Palestinians, you're your own worst enemy.
