Hillary Clinton Will Leave State Department if Obama Wins Reelection in 2012
EmailABC News' Kirit Radia reports:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an interviewer today that she would not accept a role in a possible second Obama administration.
The executive producer of the CNN show John King USA, Michelle Jaconi, tweeted that Secretary Clinton told the network in an interview in Cairo today that she “would NOT be in an Obama 2nd term cabinet.”
Clinton had been rumored to take over for Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but has suggested she was not open to the job.
Clinton also told CNN she wouldn't want to be vice president or run for president again.
"You know, I had a wonderful experience running and I am very proud of the support I had and very grateful for the opportunity, but I'm going to be, you know, moving on," she said, according to a transcript.
While today’s comments would be the most definitive, Clinton has also said in the past that she has was leaning against another term as Secretary of State.
In January, she told The Today Show that a second term wasn’t something she was “committing to or even thinking about.”
When asked during a PBS interview in January 2010 whether she could imagine staying on the job for another four years, she replied “No, I really can’t,” saying a full 8 years would be “very challenging.”
Clinton has said that once she leaves the Obama administration she would like to focus her work on women and girls, something she has remained passionate about during her time as America’s top diplomat.

Billy Bob, Disaster? Thanks to Obama he saved GM, the Markets have steadily climbed from their lows at the end of that Bozo Bushes term to recent Highs.. He ended that other Bush Boondogle the Iraq War.. He’s about to end Bushes second Boondogle the Afghanistan War.. both unfunded WARS which Crippled our Economy… He passed Health Care Reform.. reinstated the Stark Treaty with Russia.. rescued Hostages taken by Somali Pirates.. Saved our Country from another Great Depression.. mean while the only Jobs the Republicans have created are in India and China.. not a single Job in the USA… but they’re going full steam ahead Busting Unions… giving Tax Breaks to Big Oil Companies while cutting Programs like Sesame Street… Obama has nothing to worry about from the GOP aka Greedy Outsourcing Party..

Iraq war continues there Einstein. And the wars aren’t what crippled our economy. Afghanistan is still going on and he undermanned it according to the Generals. He passed insurance regulations not health care reform which crippled our recovery to the tune of $1.2 trillion. It is the START Treaty not STARK genious. And we just had 4 pirate hostages EXECUTED the other day. You’re batting 1000 today aren’t you. Do you work for this administration, because the way you “misspeak” sounds like you do.

She has no qualifications for national office of any type–she has ridden her husband’s coattails to get to where she is today.

Doing absolutely nothing to Iran and even less to N Korea about their illegal nuclear ambitions. All but ordering Mubarak and Ghaddafi to step down with no authority to do so. Appeasing Russia only to be slapped in the face by them. Weak response to N Korea slaughtering S Koreans after they sank a ship and attacked the mainland putting 40000 US military in danger.

Not an easy job – dealing with chaos outside in the world + a huge organization.
According to USAspending.gov, the State Department more than quadrupled its spending on “contractors” under the Bush administration ($1.3 billion to $5.6 billion).
Overall, the federal government more than doubled its expenditures on “outsourcing” from 2000-2008, and the DOD tripled its contractor spending ($133.2 billion in 2000 to $391.4 billion in 2008).
I find it stunning that tea soaked Republicans are hysterical about Teacher’s unions stealing tax payers’ money, yet unquestioningly accept such massive, massive spending on privatized contractors.
For example, the CIA and NSA employees are banned from engaging in collective bargaining. Forming a company is one way a group of operatives can bargain for wages, health benefits or insurance.
In 2007 the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence reported that a government civilian employee costs on average $126,500 a year, but the annual cost of a privatized government “contractor”, including overhead, is $250,000.

You’ve been reading the Obama news again haven’t you? The system would have worked just fine, but in order to cancel something to appease our ex-enemy Russia, they had to come up with a reason. Their answer is to use our naval ships in the area as coverage. Hmm, sooner or later those ships leave the area. A missile defense system is for protection, as well as a deterrent andinthis case, we, and our allies, got neither. But hey, that guarantees more work abroad for our Navy i guess huh?

No, the idea is to return to pre-Bush spending, especially cutting expensive contractors. Privatization isn’t always the ideal cost effective solution. Why not create a required civil service job if that salary is HALF the cost of outsourcing with a mercenary business?
You can see spending charted year by year at USAspending.gov. The federal government has massively increased its expenditures on “contracts” from 2002 to 2011, spending over $4 TRILLION.
And while you are at it, google “You Fix the Budget” – it’s an interactive puzzle to close Federal budget gaps short term and long term. You’ll notice it includes sensible options for both spending cuts and tax increases.

Tax increases? I would be happy to accept a tax increase as soon as the government can show me any evidence they can cut spending. Why would I give an entity more money to mismanage when they have already proven they can’t manage what they have. Obama has increased the Education Dept by almost 200% and have you seen any difference in our education system? I am all for a spending cut across the board of 15% (as a start). I am also all for a new tax code, ZERO loopholes and a flat tax at 17% (possibly graduated for low incomers). I do have some heart.

In closing, you remember Gates and the killing of the F-22 program? China was so afraid they didn’t want them to land on their continent. Originially contracted for 750 to replace the aging F-15, the government cut the numbers to 388. After further review, they cut the number down to 187 (eventhough the Air Force pleaded for at least 260). After all was said and done, had we originally contracted for 260 aircraft, it would have cost the exact same as what we paid for 187. When the government can’t decide what to do, it costs alot more money to fix it. Oh, Gates, the original proponent of the F-22, is now the opponent since he now works under this administration. MANY times the government makes these decision. Another example is we wated over $4 billion on a new Presidential helicopter and then killed the program, under the very same SecDef Gates. Smart guy huh?

He should be repudiated by the Democrats and another Democrat should run in his place. Barring that, it’s anyone but Obama, even Donald Duck would be a better choice.

I know it was for defense against Iran, but we were discussing Russia’s reaction to it. BTW, I am for a huge cut in defense with several cuts not even affecting our readiness. Stop all training deployments and cut ALL travel by 30% for annual meetings (they can teleconference). Cut, by attrition, 15% of the 0-3′s and above as we are very top heavy. Quit making changes to the uniforms and organizations as it costs millions to make the changes. Cut pilot training flights by 20% and they will still remain ready. We fly training more than any nation on earth. Many ways to cut the military while remaining a superpower.

The quote is: “would NOT be in an Obama 2nd term cabinet.” The headline sugests that she said that she would not be in the cabinet “if” Obama wins in 2012. There is a pejorative tone in the headline that I do not find in the quotes from Clinton. This is really poor reporting.

Running against whom? Mr. Mississippi, owner of the poorest state in the Union? Rev.Huckleberry? Miss Wasilla? Or maybe that “family values” guy appropriately named after a lizard? What about the Republican aristocrat from Massachusetts whose great-grandfather had 5 wives at the same time? My favorite so far: a reality TV billionaire who lives to declare bankruptcy.
Can’t wait.

Barack Obama will be the last president of the US.
The election is in November 2012, but the world is going to end on 12/21/12, nearly a month before the next president is inaugurated.

Even an chain that is used for the pandora for stitches is not typical
business sort twine. These people get hold of manufacturers what person understand their specifications to provide an
incredible case, then carry on to get the actual best in supplies to place its sacks with each other. In fact, nearly all
Pradas happen to be hand-made, by using quite small heading into a system.

Its been a rough ride for Hilary as well as any well educated Democrats trying to right down ward spiral “W” put us in. With Citizens United, the corporations domestic and foreign, rule. There is no more middle class just the rich who Republicans represent in every way and the working poor. Imagine– congressmen who have health insurance and big fat pensions telling us that we don’t deserve what they have. “It will bankrupt the nation. And we have paid for their health insurance and pensions. Maybe we should get out of the wars that poor people’s children are fighting and use that money to give the working poor what their congressmen have.

Hillary did a hell of a job running for President, she should have gotten it.
Her job of SOS is grueling, like living on a plane, getting off to talk to more dictators who are killing their own people.
Time for a rest, then run again in 2016.
Go Hillary!!!!!
