The Guardian is reporting that Hillary Clinton "plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama." Obviously take with a grain of salt until their is an official announcement.

i realize that my vocabulary is not what it should be…. but still, i thought i understood the meaning of the word “change.”
guess not.
If Obama asked her, why is she waiting so long to reply?
For all blue dresses to come back from the cleaners.
I think she’s more valuable in the Senate, but I can see why Obama would want to banish her to Foggy Bottom

amazing. i wonder how many people voted for obama instead of clinton in the primary because they wanted a different kind of foreign policy?
If Barack wants Hillary to be his SoS and she wants to do it, fine. I still can’t believe she is the most qualified candidate but maybe he sees some potential that I am missing.
Wow – it didn’t take long for people to want to destroy her. Couldn’t we wait until at least 15 comments? This is report from a foreign newspapers, for pete’s sake. I think she would probably do a good job. Okay, now you can pounce.
I’m certain she’ll have to pay for it. Bill evidently won’t take responsibility for other people’s dry cleaning.
According to Arianna’s report on Rachel’s show (yay Arianna!) vetting Bill is the holdup.
Obama still will be making the decisions on just what the policy direction will be. After all HE is the BOSS and not her. Unlike shrub who let Cheney make all the calls! Shrub couldn’t put enough words together to make a sentence never mind put enough thoughts together to set our foreign policy!
That’s what I’ve been reading. See how marriage can screw your life up? We should be careful what we wish for, Teddy. “g”
Now that’s a low blow ratfood!
I can’t imagine where all the distrust of Hillary comes from, can you?
my comment wasn’t meant to suggest that obama wouldn’t be the decider – rather it was a comment on what i think of his deciding.
Sorry Boss O, see, Henry Kissinger and Lieberman and I talked it over and we feel that the Iranians just aren’t going to compromise…Its just a short ride from Iraq. /s
To whom (or what, if you are referring to the institution of marriage)?
Otay(:>) But we WILL have change after 8 years of WAR WAR and more WAR and that to fear 24×7 and yes we will have change!! Thank doG.
When Shrub was anointed in 2000 I told my sweetie we was in for trouble… little did I know just how much trouble the villager idiot would cause world wide!
64 days?
Ahh yup Marriage(:>))
And counting!! Can’t wait for that little town in Texas to get their village idiot back so they can have fun with him!
You’re undoubtedly aware that I was being facetious. Marriage is as good as the individuals involved make it.
Pounce Daily On searched endlessly for the Fountain of Truth.
There is little evidence to suggest much ’success’ in that endeavor …
Yet, spring hopes eternal, Twain …
Good to ’see’ you Twain, and all the rest of you fomenting changerists.
;~D
Nice to ’see’ you, too. I’m afraid the fountain of truth isn’t always in this place either – we have become so cynical and cranky lately that it worries me. Not the place it used to be.
This too, shall pass.
I know well what you mean.
Why, even me own patience, Twain, (hard as this may be to admit) is less resilient of late, so I’ve taken the attitude of …hmm we’ll just have to wait.
I’m afraid that the constant complaining will last through the entire Obama years. Don’t know if we will ever have any more sense of humor about anything.
I’m keeping mine. A wise person once said, “when people ask what you do for a living, tell them you laugh for a living.”
Why don’t they just read the Starr report? It may be more than 7 pages long, but at least it’s not accurate despite being entertaining.
As long as Obama is setting the policy I think Clinton could be terrific.
I suspect that once obama is in harness, and we are all herding cats, that humor shall prove our most effective method of self-defense …
But, aye the grimness is exhausting and serves, so far as I may discern, no useful purpose …
Better we take such time as we may have to replenish our ’supply’ of wit and perspective, for we shall have need of both. Of that I’ve no doubt.
