Bill Richardson for Secretary of State.

He would get my vote -- if it were a democratic process... and Colin Powell didn't want the job. :)

Hillary did not win the election and should not get anything in this administration. She will only bring more of the same we had for eight years of Clinton. Scandals, lobbyist and more of the good ole boy network. We voted for Obama, not Hillary. I saw the results and she DID NOT WIN anything!

Bill Clinton being VETTED. The Clinton's are continually being whitewashed and covered for, why would this be anything different? He is an embarrassment to the country with his illegal fund raising and his accepting bribes from foreign governments with nary a raised eyebrow from either administration.

Like Hillary needed another reason to hate Bill . . .

I think this is a big mistake to bring Brutus Hillary CLinton) and Cassius (Bill Clinton) into Caesar"s (Obama)house.

They are a dangerous pair that could do harm to his administration. They always have an agenda that ONLY serves them!

Being gracious is one thing, being naive is another!

>>>The New York Times writes that Bill Clinton perhaps remains the last obstacle to Hillary Clinton being named as Obama’s secretary of state. “President-elect Barack Obama’s advisers have begun reviewing former President Bill Clinton’s finances and activities to see whether they would preclude the appointment of his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, as secretary of state, Democrats close to the situation said Sunday. The examination of the former president suggests how seriously Mr. Obama is considering bringing his onetime rival for the Democratic presidential nomination into his cabinet.”
==========
No offense because I really like Bill, but do you think maybe they shoud get some hazmat suits before wading into all of that muck. I like the prospect of Hillary as SoS, but Richardson may come with less baggage.

>>>In his concession speech, McCain pledged ‘to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face.’ There is no agenda for the meeting, Graham said. McCain wants to learn how Obama plans to proceed and ‘where we can fit in,’ Graham said, citing work on climate change as a potential area of common ground.”
==========
I think that Immigration reform may be a better area for McCain, since it's one of the tougher domestic policy issues Obama will have to deal with.

Hillary is needed more in the senate. Also, I don't think she would be as good as Sec State as either Richardson or Kerry. She is in the postion to replace Teddy Kennedy as the senates' greatest fighter for America's domestic agenda, the poor and middle class.

Why should anyone be vetted? The voters have made it clear it does't care about anyones past.

With Bill Clinton being vetted it sure looks like Hillary is a serious contender for Secretary of State. I'm kind of surprised that the Clintons would want to have Bill's wings clipped for his international foundation's ability to raise foreign money. But if Hillary wants the job I'm sure she will do a great job.

Why are all the appointments of Obama's left-wing whacko pacifists? Oh, and it's nice to see that it was Colin Powell leaking internal Bush policy and war stradegy to the NYTs, WashPost, LATimes, etc. That man has no credibility left. He'd fit in well with the Obama cabinet.

And I thought Barack was meeting with Hillary to get her permission to offer Bill Clinton the ambassasorship to the United Nations. That would be a stimulus package to the international economy.

I dont think Bill Clinton is going to pass any vetting, I think Hillary should have divorced him years ago, especially if hes going to hold her career
hostage. Its not like hes been the best husband, he was a good President, but as a husband he stinks, his
personel ehtics stink. Well good luck Hillary, hope you get the job you deserve and would do with excellance.

If I recall, Bill Richardson was the most embarrassing and least knowledgable out of all the dem candidates for president. I hope Obama doesn't choose him just because Mr Richardson kissed his butt and sold out the Clintons during the primarys. Hillary Clinton is far away the most qualified, intelligent person for the secretary of state job.

I am sure that Colin Powell would welcome an opportunity to do it right second time around for SS. When Clinton dashed to a TV podium and smirked after her meeting with Obama, I believe that she disqualified herself from serious consideration - the appointment demands discretion not a blabbermouth.

Does anyone remember the hawkish foreign policy pronouncements of Hillary in lock step with Bush. Where is the change Obama promised?

Bill Clinton = the gift that keeps on giving.
Hillary should have dumped him back with the Monica deal. He's done nothing but hold her back. Barack admitted he couldn't consider her as VP because of Bill. She's paid the price for him. Bill can't pass this Secretary of State vetting either, so she won't get this job, either. Bill Clinton is a loser; always has been, always will be.

Although I think Hillary is very, very well gualified to be the next Sec of State I can only see problems in the future for Barack and our country because of Bill (Clinton).
