HEALTHCARE WAR IN AFGAINST

MISS SECTARY OF STATE YOUR DOING A GOOD JOB WE AMERICIANS ARE PROUD OF YOU I KNOW YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH WOULD TALK TO PRESIDNT ABOUT HEALTHCARE ADOPT THE ONE THAT THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE HAS TALKED ABOUT AND DON/T YOU THINK WE SHOULD HOLD BACK ON THE TROOPS TO THE WAR IN AFIGAGAN THANK YOU MISS SERECTARY OF STATE

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.

Sincerely, Rose Lane Republican of Kansas

reagan was a great president

ms hills how whould you know if he was bad in cali youre from ohio in fact he made california in to a better state cause edmund brown made the state worse and reagan also had 43,898,770

votes in the presidetial election and 438 electoral votes and in both times did he run did he dominate his opponet

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?

Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State, hmmm?

I find Mr. Obama's choice puzzling. In my own life time, the Secretary of State has actually served time in the State Department, and develops experience in the world of diplomacy and foreign relations. Yes, Mrs. Clinton has travelled the world and met with scores of dignitaries, but I question her experience when it comes to crucial and critical points of state. Does she really have the right sort of experience. This makes the appointment look like nothing more than a personal favor. Is this the sort of message Mr. Obama wishes to send? Clearly, yes.

Role for HC

"NO KEEP HER AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE" Maybe FBI she is familiar with that Dept!!!!!

SENATOR CLINTON SECRETARY OF STATE.

I think senator clinton has done morre than enough for her country and for the democrats, she would be ideal choice for the position. it would help unify our country. its allready unified , but she would add to the position. i would like to see her with it, yes, she would be good.

Hillary- Secretary of State

I believe the entire country would feel more secure in the change that is taking place with Hillary in this position. There were and are so many Hillary Supporters and so many Obama Supporters that when you put the 2 together, most of the country will be behind the administration. Yes Hillary Secretary of State, the best choice, and for the countries Morale maybe the only choice.

i think hillary clinton wounld make a good secretary of state a good choice for obama

She Can Do It!

I think that she would make an outstanding Secretary of State!!
