Well well well, look at what the AP & NBC News dropped on us:
US president-elect Barack Obama is considering naming former first lady Hillary Clinton (seen here on November 10), his onetime rival for the White House, as his secretary of state, according to NBC News.
OH REALLY??? Here’s the blurb:
CHICAGO – Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is among the candidates that President-elect Barack Obama is considering for secretary of state, according to two Democratic officials in close contact with the Obama transition team.
Clinton, the former first lady who pushed Obama hard for the Democratic presidential nomination, was rumored to be a contender for the job last week, but the talk died down as party activists questioned whether she was best-suited to be the nation’s top diplomat in an Obama administration.
EXCUSE ME????????? WTF does that mean? She is a billion more times qualfied and experienced to run for the highest office in the US of A and some Obama “party activists” questioned whether she is qualified or not? Gimme a friggin break!
The talk resumed in Washington and elsewhere Thursday, a day after Obama named several former aides to President Bill Clinton to help run his transition effort.
After he nearly destroyed the Clinton legacy now Obama wants to appropriate it. Or is it that nobody on his team has the experience and know-how to confront and resolve problems in a successful way?
The two Democratic officials who spoke Thursday did so on the condition of anonymity to avoid angering Obama and his staff. Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines referred questions to the Obama transition team, which said it had no comment.
Yes, because God/Goddess forbid anybody acknowledging that Hillary Clinton is, well, uh, EXTREMELY QUALIFIED and BRILLIANT.
Other people frequently mentioned for the State Department job are Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Bill Richardson.
Ah, the coveted trio of Obama pandering schmucks. Something tells me these are three that are “questioning” whether “Hillary is best-suited.”
OT but important: I’ll be around more this weekend to blog to my heart’s content – I’ve been a bit busy this week with a small but new project that’s fallen on my lap (thank God/Goddess, anything is something!), and even though it’s not the great $ to get me back up to where I was a couple of months ago (stupid bailout made me lose my great big nice end of the year project, !*&#_)#&_@# ), something is something.

I hope Hillary stays far far away from any cabinet position. We need her in the senate.
SM, should have read this before I commented at the Confluence. What is this nation thinking in that he is a problem solver? The solutions, if there are any, will be coming from those who qualify and have had experience. Thus the possibility of Hillary.
Other than sitting behind a desk and shooting the shit with the basketball coach brother in law Craig, life sure looks good for this bum!
SM – Wow, that’s a very unflattering version of this story! The WaPo is much better – and what a great pic of Hillary!
Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State?
Oh p.s. – CONGRATULATIONS ON THE JOB!!!
I’m so happy to hear you got one!!!
Congrats on the job, SM! And Good luck.
and I expect that this is a lot of smoke up the country’s rear end once again.
Madam: That picture’s best caption is “Are you there, God? It’s me, Hillary.”
President? Yes! SOS? Hell no! Job? Do tell.
SM – happy you got another job – it’s just interim until you get the real deal – kind of like what Hillary is doing. However, I think Sarah is going to be the next President.
Pat – have to say, that enlarged picture of you with those eyes is even more scary than my enlarged photo!
If Hillary decides to take this position we will be a million times better off, however, asshole will get all of the credit. It’s a Catch 22.

Tammy Duckworth, the Iraq Veteran that lost both legs is evidentally not worthy of Obama’s Senate seat in Illinois.
I hate all of these pissants! If there is a God, they will all be punished hopefully sooner than later!

Well, although SoS might seem glam and all…
…I’d still *much* rather have Hillary as our next Senate Majority Leader.
:-/
Ps — What’s the project, SM?!
Why would any one trade a perfectly good and safe senate seat to be SOS? I can see why Oblahblah would like her out of the senate and helping his lame a$$ but really … what would be in it for her?
Happy birthday Regency!
Glad to hear you got a job SM!!!!
We had a long discussion about this today. One of my pals says is HRC gets the SOS job she’s going back to all her Obot people and say — OK, isn’t she the one who was painted as “voting for the war” and “old school Washington politics” ?? So why is he asking her? WTF?
I say it’s a set up.
hey SM what happened to gary and Mawm are you MIA too?
Where are you? Knock, knock, can SM come out and play?
