Hillary for Secretary of State?

November 14th, 2008, 8:28 am · 14 Comments · posted by Dena Bunis, Washington Bureau Chief

The inside the beltway rumor mill now extends to Chicago, where President-elect BarackObama is making the key decisions about his new administration.

The latest rumor is that he’s thinking about Hillary Rodham Clinton for Secretary of State.

Clinton certainly has foreign policy experience, traveling the world as first lady and then as New York senator. But I’ve always thought here heart was in domestic policy. Remember health care?

Clinton met with Obama in Chicago yesterday but staffers for neither the senator or president-elect are saying anything for the record. There are a number of names that have surfaced for this key position.  What do you think?

Who should be Barack Obama's secretary of state?

    Smart move, if this is true. She does have foreign policy experience, and this would ensure us that she’d keep her nose out of trying to socialize our healthcare system.

  • Stan says:

    Just think of all the new stories we could hear from Hillary about her taking sniper fire in far off places.

  • Thetrue-is says:

    Michelle Obama is the one who make decision who will be of what, not Barrack Obama. First Lady is the one behind the scene and the most powerful one, not the President.

    Why? ask your mom.

  • bigutsss says:

    Thetrue is - DITTO ON THAT - Just ask my husband why hes in charge…. because I told him so

  • audiogirl says:

    OCR, would you kindly remove Ralph’s comments?

    Wow

  • audiogirl says:

    Oh, and no, I don’t think Hillary is a good choice. Good lord, she has the grace ad diplomacy of Attila the Hun.

  • boltzbabe says:

    I can’t wait for the day when Hillary will just go away. Is it to much to ask? Please go away and never be heard from again.

  • eviltwin says:

    It’s gonna be a toss up,….Hillary or Oprah!
    Cant wait to hear more of Obama’s selections they are Hilarious!

  • corina says:

    Please edit foul language.

  • Tony says:

    On the San Francisco site I get removed if I suggest Gays are mentally ill. Here saying the F word is ok? I thought Orange County was suppose to be conservative and the Bay area was free speech? Of course that is a lie. One of many they tell in the bay area.

  • thefloyd says:

    I’m with audiogirl, I don’t want Hillary in charge of anything. But can we just remove Ralph altogether? Frankly, he scares me.

  • Will Work for Food says:

    Sucks to be Republican these days.

  • 10yrsafter says:

    I disagree with thefloyd and audiogirl, Hillary will be great for the job. I wish she made President!
    My life was much better when Bill Clinton was in office.
    Please don’t bash me on this one, I feel what I feel.
    Go Hillary!!!!!! She does know foreign policy well.
    And, YES, I agree with thetrue-is, a woman is the one who works the hardest, anyway!
