Hillary Clinton for secretary of state?

Posted by: Stephanie Ditta
Tags: Ask, , ,

Sen. Hillary Clinton has emerged as a candidate to be U.S. secretary of state for Barack Obama, months after he defeated her in an intense contest for the Democratic presidential nomination.

NBC News and The Washington Post reported that Clinton was under consideration for the top U.S. diplomatic position.

Clinton was described by her office as having flown to Chicago on Thursday on personal business.

Should Obama select his former rival for the top U.S. envoy post?

For some reason Hillaary’s website will not post my blog, I guess the constitution does not hold true there either. Freedom of speech is out the window, unless you are saying something good about her. What a crock, please tell me we can do better than this for our country. I am having flashbacks to 10 years ago, what change! I guess it is baby steps at this time, and if the country doesn’t like it, well to bad you voted for the Clintons, sorry, the Obama’s

Some how Mrs. Bill Clinton has figured out a way to not go to jail in Arkansas, somehow come from New York to become a senator, and has now wormed her way into trying to become secretary of state. Will this woman stop at nothing to further her career, she could care less about our country, just about herself. As a person who was born and raised in New York, I am ashamed to have her as a senator, I lived in Arkansas when Bill Clinton was the Governor and have to say it was the most backwards state I have ever lived in and she was never even heard about, except for the scandal after wards. Health reform, never happened until her husband was president, I guess the people who lived in Arkansas were not good enough for her until it fit her needs to be known. She is like an infection that you take antibiotics for but just can’t get rid of. She just keeps coming back to fulfill her own self indulgent need to be someone. On my end of the stick, I still can’t find a job, my property taxes have gone up and the woman who screamed that Obama was going to pay her bills is gone. Please tell me what in the heck the democrats are doing for us, I thought they could fix what was wrong with the country in like 2 days, as far as I can see, it is still getting worse, but I guess Mrs. Bill Clinton will fix everything (Since apparently we didn’t vote for her). Nothing like spit, superglue and duct tape to fix any issue of the country. If we want the country to be stagnate, by all means throw her more money and a better job when no one else can get that in the country, break the constitution, go against the will of the entire country. This will make the presidency legitimate to all of us. Break whatever rules you need to in order to get what you want, sends a great message to our young people. The perfect way for our first black president to be. I am ashamed!

ABSOLUTELY NO!!!!!! BIG MISTAKE! If we wanted the Clintons we would have voted for them. We voted for a change. Mr. President you are able to find a better choice than Hilary Clinton for example Bill Richardson. Mrs. Clinton will fight you all the way on all issues. Your views are broader and more wise. Please think twice about your choice.
