It will make the World Bank less credible than it already is.

The opportunities for graft there should go far beyond those she enjoyed from dabbling in cattle futures.

I have no doubt she would try to force herself on a hotel maid.

Good, get her out of US politics. Hopefully, we’ll have a true conservative administration, and can extract ourselves from all this crap and graft.

Good thing the Huma lesbian rumors got shot down with the pregnancy. What great timing the clintons always seem to have.

Doubtless, she dreams of raping a few hotel maids herself.

Exclusive: Clinton in talks about possible move to World Bank

WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been in discussions with the White House about leaving her job next year to become head of the World Bank, sources familiar with the discussions said Thursday.

The former first lady and onetime political rival to President Barack Obama quickly became one of the most influential members of his cabinet after she began her tenure at State in early 2009.

She has said publicly she did not plan to stay on at the State Department for more than four years. Associates say Clinton has expressed interest in having the World Bank job should the Bank’s current president, Robert Zoellick, leave at the end of his term, in the middle of 2012.

“Hillary Clinton wants the job,” said one source who knows the secretary well.

A second source also said Clinton wants the position.

A third source said Obama has already expressed support for the change in her role. It is unclear whether Obama has formally agreed to nominate her for the post, which would require approval by the 187 member countries of the World Bank.

The White House declined to comment.

A spokesman for Clinton, Philippe Reines, denied she wanted the job or had conversations with the White House about it.

Revelations of these discussions could hurt Clinton’s efforts as America’s top diplomat if she is seen as a lame duck in the job at a time of great foreign policy challenges for the Obama administration.

However, the timing of the discussions is not unusual given that the United States is considering whether to support another European as head of the World Bank’s sister organization, the IMF.

she’ll be back in 2016, she’ll now build up economic credentials, big foreign policy stint at State, now economics, and this way she cuts of her ties to obama’s sinking ship.

There’s a bigger plan here.

Isn't that like "Weiner retaining his dignity"?
