Hillary Clinton for Obama's Secretary of State or Defense Head
Are Hillary Clinton's days in the Senate over? Some Democrats are pushing for her to take a top cabinet post in an Obama administration. Former Bill Clinton pollster Stan Greenberg even has a couple of ideas. "I think she'd be great in the cabinet," he says. Greenberg's choices: "secretary of defense, secretary of state."
It's no joke. Many Democrats want her to play a prominent role in an Obama administration and skip out on the Senate, where she won't have a major leadership role. And neither cabinet post is too high for Clinton. We hear that many generals and admirals in the Pentagon admire Clinton, especially for her pro-military actions after 9/11. And she's traveled the world, first as Bill Clinton's ambassador and then as a concerned senator.
As for the rumors of a U.S. Supreme Court position, that might be harder for Senate Republicans to take.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodman Clinton
It seems that Mrs.Clinton needs to learn the history of the countries she visits before she goes there. She should have known the history of Our Lady of Gaudalope and her appearance to the declared saint of Mexico. A great adoration of the Mexican and American Mexican people. Her remarks of the painted roses on the robe was a little uneducated. My advice to her is read up on the country you visit of its people, polictics and customs before you go there.

Sure she deserves a position
First of all, she is really intelligent, well read, well traveled, and well informed on all issues. She is one of the most well known women in America and despite partisan bickering or resent that she had the audacity to run for president against Obama, she is very highly respected out the U.S. You won't won a championship in team sports with just one star on the team, and Obama knows that. Secondly, she has been a leader in fighting for rights for women and children, not just recently, but her whole career. Someone needs to take on that role, and it's not just for equality and health care in the U.S. but to set a model for the whole world so the U.S. can restore its leadership and moral position. If we show we are different than the Taiban, we can reclaim the moral ground again. Secondly, both Hilliary and Bill did more to help Obama get elected than any second place finisher ever in a primary who didn't get picked as VP. Anyone who doesn't realize that is just not objective, doesn't know their presidential history and perhaps just doesn't like her, but that has nothing to do with being deserving. She has earned her stars and stripes. Lincoln was very much like Obama in many ways, an unknown from Illinois, who ran against a much more well known Senator from NY who lost in a hard fought primary battle. Guess who Lincoln picked for his Secretary of State?
