Hillary on Track for Nomination After Thanksgiving

I hope that she will get the nomination, she is a strong woman and highly educated, I wish her all the best.

It will be fun seeing the drama that unfolds between Billary, Obama and the rest of their leftist illuminati cabinet. It might just be better entertainment that Desperate Housewives.

FABULOUS!!!!! I am so thrilled about Hillary. She is an excellent choice and all is right with the world!!

I wish she would just stay in the senate…I wish that Obama would not choose her! Change was the word that moved this country…Clinton’s are not about change, they are about power. This will be a bad idea.

good news! she’ll be a great secretary of state. she is a gifted negotiator and strong-willed. i think it’s a very wise choice. congrats to Senator Clinton and the President-Elect.

I believe Hillary Clinton will make an excellent secretary of state and would be a big help to Obama in foreign policy. Also, should Biden who has a heart condition, if something should happen, Hillary could be selected as VP. However, I hope everyone stays healthy. There are a lot issues Obama didn’t speak about while he was campaigning. The change in Washington didn’t take place as stated on the platform. And the reason for Clinton’s people is that Obama is not experienced enough to run this country and he will be trained by them. I hope he doesn’t pick Bill Richard for a job in his cabinet or John Kerry. That would not be wise.

wow I think I am going to love the government!

Sara: There is no change. The outsiders that were insiders at one time are coming back. However, Hillary is a smart woman and can teach Obama the tricks of the trade that he hasn’t learned in the senate. The people that Bill Clinton had in his administration are well experienced in the field of politics and will give Obama some excellent training. I didn’t vote for Obama but we have to acknowledge that he will be sworn into office and go from there.

For those who are upset with Obama about his “change” message, good grief, he had former Clinton staffers on his campaign, so why wouldn’t you expect him to have them in his cabinet?!?! He also took money from former lobbyists, and from corporations, as well as just appointing Daschle to his cabinet, and Daschle’s whole family is involved in lobbying, so what…you have only yourselves to blame for being so naive. Just be thankful that Obama has the sense to use Clinton’s blueprint for success. BC is extremely intelligent, and he had very bright people working with him. BO is smart enough to know what he doesn’t know.
There isn’t so much drama surrounding the Clintons. It is pure media driven ratings based. There was so much peace and prosperity during the Clinton years, if the Repubicans hadn’t delved into BC’s personal foilbles, the media would have had very little negative to report, and the negativity gets folks to salivating for more more more…
Hillary will be a great SOS, if indeed this comes to pass. Hillary’s Senate office is said to be the “envy” of the hill because of its organizational efficiency, and loyalty based work ethic. Hillary is great! She has served on the Armed Services Committee with distinction. She knows most world leaders by their first names, and she is very well respected around the world. Women hold her in very high esteem, especially after her speech in China when she spoke up for womens rights as human rights. Her co-workers, both Dem and Reb. praise her masterly grasp of policy, both domestic and foreign. I tend to believe the people who actually know her, rather than those who cling to the mass produced image of her.

Mayhaps she can do less damage as Sec State than in the Senate and that Paterson names a weak replacement that is defeated in 2010.

SHE WILL BE GREAT; GIVE THE GIRL A CHANCE TO PROVE HOW DEEPLY COMMITTED SHE IS TO HER COUNTRY AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE…YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. INSTEAD OF SAYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE, GET BEHIND YOUR PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET….WE ALL NEED TO PULL TOGETHER TO GET OUR ECONOMY AND COUNTRY BACK ON TRACK.

Hillary, yes!!! We need her as Secretary of State. She will be an excellent one. Hillary will help Obama bring America back to what it used to be when Bill was in office, peace and prosperity…Go Hillary!!

“It will be fun seeing the drama that unfolds between Hillary, Obama and the rest of their leftist illuminati cabinet. It might just be better entertainment that Desperate Housewives.”……..People like you thinking as you do are headed for a big letdown. The U.S. is going to head back to prosperity, respected in the world, not thought of as a dirt bag and we’re going to have great leadership once Caligula and his henchmen leave office 1-20-09.

what
its because Hillary Clinton was the best for the job and no amount of spin by the media even working with the obama staff who dont like Clinton wouldve defeated her as far as the sec of state job

We can do it!!!

I think her counterparts overseas, realize, they had better get it together,
and get ready to bring their A-game.
because Girlfriend “don’t play”
RISE Hillary RISE!

Dem and Question, since you Democrats have cried through Reagan and both Bush’s and you talk about how the Republicans are upset now. How long was it we listened to your woe as me we are all hopeless as crap. That is the Democrats for you. You are using your lip service to play like goody two shoes, but you are nothing but liars. What happened to free speech and freedom of the press. You are for that as long as liberals are the ones talking. Don’t complain and give Republicans your crappy garbage after the terrible, mean spirited crap you have given for Reagan and the Bush’s.

Keep your power Hill, stay in the Senate.
Turn him down, and work for what you have worked for this far.
New York!

We’ve had the worst now we have the Best!
It will take time but America will become
strong again. Way to go Obama!!!!
The Clinton years were the Best!!!

mike in ky
yep this is a serendipitous moment Obama was never goingto “control” Clinton like the most vicious partisans thought he was..the most talented people need to be in the most cucial places and thats Clinton at State

I believe that Senator Clinton is qualified to be the Secretary of State. Most likely she learned a lot while in the White House for eight years. Beside she is a really smart cookie, sharp as a tack and with a very good education. Whast she does not know now about the job, she’ll learn in a jiffy!

I think Sen. Hillary Clinton is perfect for Sec. of State. To those of you who say “no more Clintons”, I just have to say, Get Over It! Good Luck Sen. Clinton!!

paul
yep I think that the people not on board with this thing by now missed thr point of the election!

luvnrockets, and no longer here albright,
the change is good ideas, and people who know what to do and how to do it will be in charge. instead of you know wWWWWWho. “His dumbness” and his screw
the usa “brownie,you are doing a good job” cabinet.
a pundit called W “his dumbness” Bush
future presidential library a Hallowenn
house of horrors,
there will be a room for Katrina,
a room for gitmo, a room for abugrabe(?)
(i don’t know how to spell it, don’t need to know how to spell it, you know were i am talking about-the us torture place-girl with a leash around the man neck)
forclosure room, financial meltdown room,
illegal wire tapping room, the how i let bin laden get away room, to end the tour we will step out of the halloween horror house, into an out-house,
and then to a parking lot with a picture of a big ship that says “MISSIN ACCOMPLISHED”
I’ll never go see it, but i hope it will be free to the public.
that would be the final insult-to make the american people pay to get in.

The point shouldn’t be to stop the R’s, it should be to put the country on the right track. Any “real thinking person” can see the sham perpetrated on the American people on a daily basis. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

aware2u
yep if Obama appoints Hillary it shows he does have some sense and not a part of the throw everyone out mentality that the young and unafiliated voters that made up most of Obamas coalition were talking about they and people like brandon are largely uninformed and they used supporting Obama as a way to stick it to the establishment this counttry does not have anarchist principles andc there needs to be an old fashined 18th century witchunt for for anarchists like this!

I’m just fine with the Clinton appointment if it happens but I can’t believe the whining coming from the far left and progressives. They seemed to think they would see dramatic change from a guy who’s “pragmatic” , “practical” and who believes in change in “incremental changes”. Duh. Obama voted 97-98% of the time with his party- that’s not a risk taker even McCain did 90%. Bill Clinton was about hope and change when he rode in on a white horse for his first term and he came in with a record of being pro-business and fairly conservative in Arkansas and all sorts of rumours about his womanizing and gee, surprise surprise- what did we get and the far left hated the fact that Clinton turned out to be more conservative then they had hoped. A candidate’s record does say something about how they will govern and there is nothing in Obama’s that indicates he would make any dramatic changes (other then Obama or McCain would be change from George W) and in fact McCain’s record and personality would be more indicative of someone more likely to do so. Obama’s change will be symbolic – the first African American president, bringing on board his rivals and throwing us a bone here and there on issues like campaign reform while he set a horrendous precedent by refusing public financing. So wah wah.

So basically this means that all of the crap about President Clinton’s business dealings was just that crap!! As a Hillary supporter I don’t want her to take the job, because I think that it’s a set up, but it would almost be woth it to see the young nast bots and the republicans heads explode.

You are all deluded. Obama will not be the next president, and he knows it. He is not a “natural born citizen” because he was a British national at birth, and this will never change no matter what his birth certificate says or doesn’t say.
This not-yet-president-elect (who will never be the president elect), now that he has proven that he can steal an election (using a massive infusion of foreign money) is preparing the country for the Billary administration (to keep things cool until he can figure out a way to steal the White House some other way).
The deals are being made and have been being made behind closed doors. Contrary to all of the nonsensical praises for dishonest, crooked people one hears in these forums, none of these so-called “great” people gives a fart about you and I.
You heard it here.
Don’t pretend you didn’t when this proves true.
The ruler of this world is already condemned.
“Woe unto you when all men speak well of you, for so they spoke of the false prophets.”
There is no hope in relying on these corrupt people.

rooney
NO No the primaries were won by Obama on a technicality and a one woman force named Donna Brazile the delegate count was so close that if MI and FL were counted it would be in Hillarys favor that is corrupt poltics but whats done is donr maybe the american electorate will be more discriminating or perhaps even smarter next time!

Once announced as President Elect Obama’s choice for Secretary of State and before her Senate confirmation it will be time for Hillary Clinton to publically reinvent herself and clearly indicate her readiness and willingness to serve her country as Secretary of State under President Obama; to present her vision and indicate what her approach and her goals will be as head of the State Department. Does anyone seriously believe she lacks that capability? I wouldn’t bet against her.

robert5000
nope I wouldnt bet against Clinton… History repeats itself and the media was making fun of the fact no secretary of state has become president since the 19th century … the real criminals here is the media Clinton will be the bes SOS we ever had!

If you look at our early history as a nation, many of our Secretary of State’s went on to become President of the United States. Hilary will be a great asset to the Obama team. She will make great strides in re-establishing diplomat relations with countries around the world.

Other than political prominence, what makes Hillary such a great and qualified choice for this? What diplomatic credentials and experience does she bring to the job? Is it 5 years on the Armed Services Committee? The fact that her husband was president? It does seem that our standards for high public office vis a vis experience run a bit low. Good private sector management jobs look for 10+ years experience. This choice is so political it frustrates the heck out of me. The Lincoln model is all fine and good but I think it’s a BS justification for this choice.

If she gets the post, I hope the voice she uses during critical negotiations isn’t the high-pitched screaming she used during her campaign. I felt like my mom was yelling at me for not making my bed every time she opened her mouth. I doubt world leaders would take kindly to that.

I’d like to know when the investigation is going to start about where Obama got all of this “money” that has been given to his campaign. If he got this money from terrorist organizations, he should be withdrawn as the Pres-elect, remember, he is NOT President until January 20th. He does not deserve to be in that office, if he did this illegally. Most common sense americans want an answer to this. He could be disqualified for the office if he took money from terrorist groups. This should be looked at very closely before he tries to lie his way out of this one too.

Will you people please get off the terrorist(terrorist donations included), muslim and birth certificate nonsense. The man will be sworn in Jan 20th whether you like it or not. So live with it like we have had to for 8 long, excruciating years.

marilyn bailey:
You obviously have not been keeping up with the news. President-Elect Obama received much of his money via over 3 million online contributors.

guess hillary has to stuff willy the turkey before nomination–or clean out a few closets–mainly his

if hillary accepts-does that mean the hound (horndog) of the hill is back.

hillarys great achievement in life—-===SLICK WILLY–WHAT A JOKE—what did she ever achieve .she could not handle childrens lunch program when willy was in office.

Marilyn Bailey -
Given the ditches that Bush/Cheny/Rove have left Obama to dig us out of, your obsession with bogus “issues” like birth certificates and “terrorist” donations are part of the reason that the Republican party has a 61% negative rating. Americans have had enough of this kind of stuff.

Bill would not stand in the way of this. It’s going to happen and it’s going to be great for our country as we win back our old friends and make new ones.

Oh! I’m so excited!

Why was Mr. Obama chosen to be president – most powerful position in the world with just a handful of “experience’; same question for Hillary getting secretary of state position;
Judgement, leadership, ABILITY to get things DONE, respect by the public at large, respect by peers and also important — last name not Bush or Cheney

Obama for CHANGE! Obviously NOT! A old democratic party, Tammeny Hall return to Clintonian Cronyism. Obama must be completely unaware how HRC goes after rivals. Consider also what she’s done for her district, $$ for her direct supporters, Zilch for everyone else. Which is why all of my siblings who lived there have moved!

Is Hillary goint answer question about Travelgate, Whitewater, Lewinskygate, etc., finally, during the Senate Confirmation Hearings? Amazing. None of us with her background could even pass the top secret clearance that’s required for such a position. Oh, Obama! I thought you had a mind of your own!! Independent thought. You’ve sold out to Billary! They are really pulling your strings. How sad.

Hillary should say “No Thanks!” I mean let’s be honest it is an insult after everything that has transended.

Hillary as a diplomat. Interesting.

Will someone who is a Hillary fan please tell me what she has accomplished since she’s been a senator? Hillary fans keep saying how great she is. I’m a Western New York resident and she hasn’t done anything significant to help our plight. She promised 200,000 new jobs when she first ran for the Senate. When she couldn’t deliver, she said it was because Al Gore didn’t win the presidency. Since she became our senator, many businesses have either closed or re-located to another state. We’ve lost a significant amount of our population due to high taxes and lack of good paying jobs. She has done nothing for us in WNY except save an Air Force base in Niagara Falls, a facility her husband put in jeopardy when he ordered base closings. This carpetbagger did squat, yet you think she’s so wonderful. List her great accomplishments as a senator and please, no exaggerations or excuses.

Hillary will be phenomenal – an international superstar with brains, strength, wisdom and star power!

In the past, when I have posted on this site indicating that I was going to support Obama, Hillary supports accused me of drinking “the Kool-Aid” -ad nauseum. Now, when I see her supporters for SoS – it’s always the same worn-out mantras and sound-bites. You people don’t even recognize the substance of “Kool-Aid” when you see it. It’s easy for me to see why you all think see’s brilliant.

The SoS is fourth in the line of succession for President of the U.S. Not to mention Hilary would be in a perfect position to run for President in the future after all, compared to Biden she’s a youngster. If she gets the appointment, Clinton fans should rejoice.

This is a perfect match.
Obama : No integrity.
Clinton : No integrity.
Obama : No character.
Clinton : No character.
Obama : Absolutely unqualified to run the country.
Clinton : Absolutely unqualified to run the state department.
This pick is a no brainer.

This is a perfect match.
Obama : No integrity.

Obama : No character.
Clinton : No character.

You’re correct. In electing Obama the United States lost.. and I, as a citzen of the US, am part of that loss.

Gabriel,
You are absolutely spot-on with your empirical observations of Senator Clinton’s record. She has truly failed the people of WNY and has little to show for as results other than lip service.
Same could be said of former-President Bill Clinton’s record on foreign policy, but today is a new day, WNY will be getting a new Senator, and hopeful a Senator who focused on the economic plight of WNY.
As for Senator Clinton, let us all wish her the best and success if she becomes the SOS.

Obama is a HACK CHICAGO POLITICIAN —
that is ALL that he is. The BEST
of that lot are realists to the core.
The worst are shallow ideologues.
It’s obvious the little hack falls
into the former category. In addition
to being a realist, for the sake of
us all, let’s hope he has the aptitude
for GOVERNANCE — which is a totally
differenct hting altogether.

Joe6Pack & howwouldiknow,
For heaven’s sake! PLEASE stop with the party loyalty stuff (on both sides!) This is about the direction of our country and who, (given the choices) can best lead us back on track! We HAVE SERIOUS issues which must be managed with intelligence and ability! That’s why, howwouldiknow, your comment;
“You’re correct. In electing Obama the United States lost.. and I, as a citzen of the US, am part of that loss.”
holds no credibility whatsoever. All I have to do is reply–Sarah Palin… matter closed and sealed.

all of you obama/clinton haters,
have forgotten who you and the republicans gave us.
dumb ole george bush and his mess up everything they touch cabinet.
george bush was and is a fraud.
i hope they are all charged with war crimes.
should be charged for the way they messed up katrina.
and the housing market, and the banking system, nothing but a bunch of dirty lying crooks.
and you obama/clinton haters
voted them in.
you need to go underground with you leader for the next four years and let the smart people straigten out what
dummy bush and crew did.
you can get on here and rant and rag all you want about obama and clinton.
but you know what? the people who like them and see them for being smart people compared to bush, we understand why you would not feel good about the govt.
look at what your boy bush did.
and you thought you were right about him
and his crew.
crooks and clowns one and all.

Like the ones we’ve seen that thought Palin was his running mate. Or the ones that don’t know who is in charge of Congress right now. Or the ones who have never heard of Joe Biden.
But they seem to know who is in BHO’s IPod.

You change freaks kill me!!! Change is only good if it is well thought out and executed properly!!! So far I’m impressed with his picks and I didn’t vote for him!!!There are 2 Obama’s, the intelligent Harvard grad and the egotistical arrogant messiah!!! the messiah is why I didn’t vote for him but it looks like I may be wrong and the intelligent Harvard grad is going to be President. So far so good but time will tell!!!

Wouldn’t it be “delicious” (Clintonista vernacular)if in the process of being vetted, Bill Clinton was found to be criminally culpable in one of his “enterprises,” prosecuted and jailed. (One could only hope.) And Hillary would be come even more irrelevant. That’s my perspective and I maintain my right to have it.

Wow the new term has not yet begun and so many americans seem to be rooting for the president elect to fail. I hate to break it to you angry geniuses but its better for us if he succeeds. I spent time campaigning against him but the election is over. Time to grow up and stop treating this like a sporting event.

Some of these bloggers need to forget the new car and buy an account with Travelocity for relocation for job- hunting in China.
