Hillary Clinton to accept Obama's offer of secretary of state job

President-elect Barack Obama reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration

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.

They’re gonna vet these two....yeh, right. Always said that Obama really had something on her...and that’s why the party “chose” him.

Anything to distract an unqualified minority Senator with a questionable past from the humiliating defeat at the hands of an unqualified minority Senator with a questionable past.

Hillary Clinton will be Barack Obama's secretary of state.

You just knew she would not settle for anything less.

VOMIT.

I think the LATimes not releasing a video got her this job.

Sadly, Senator Kyl said he’s got no problem with Hillary.

But even if you don’t have a problem with Hillary Clinton— you cannot allow her to just sail through. You have to raise hell no matter what Obama does. Fight him every inch, every step— and hope you can diminish him by the time 2010 rolls around.

Here we had a presidential election that went on about for freaking ever.

There was speculation all the time, 24/7, including the famous Dick Morris prediction that the race would be between Hillary and Condaleeza Rice.

Not once do I remember any of the pundits suggesting Hillary as Secretary of State.

But I’ll read the opinions, the pundits, the Freeper comments....and I will have more thoughts on it all.

As is my wont.

Says the Guardian:"Since being elected senator for New York, she has specialised in foreign affairs and defence."

Who are we to argue?

There is so much double dealing in our government that I don't know how you would root it all out.

The political class has us by the proverbial balls. The only thing I can think of is to start over.

Isn’t the SOS in the line of succession? After the VP and a couple of others, I think. Maybe the Dems are getting ready for when The One gets tossed for not being a citizen.
