Dear Mrs. Clinton;; I have a problem that has been bothering me for 44 years. I had four friends that were captured by the viet cong on oct 31st,1965, their names are jasper page, thomas moore, samual adams, charles dusing, acording to the vietnamese government they died in captivity in dec 1965. My one friend Jasper Page managed to escape, We believe that the other three were killed on the spot. We would like their bodies returned to U S soil for proper buriel. They died in defense of their country,doing their duty as American fighting men. The Vietnemase Gov must know where the bodies are buried, please help us bring them home.Please let me know what you find out on this matter.I was suposed to go with them on this day,and i have ptsd as a result. I do not believe they died in captivity. Good lick on your term as US Sec Of State.

Hillary is a wonderful woman with a very good brain, and a real big heart, and great vision for our country, and the world.
She's more than comitteed, she'll be on those roads, freedom
and human rights her cause.

She the most amazing person I have ever witnessed in my life. I am so proud of her. I voted for her and wrote in her name during the Pres. Election. Many of us did. one state had 2,000 Hillary write ins I think it was Conn. Not sure. But I simply adore her.

Hillary is the epitome of an individual that has taken every opportunity presented to her and "learned" from that experience. She may not beleive that the Presidency is attainable because of generational considerations. I beg to differ.
Our society is involved in a conciousness shift that is unparalled in our Nations history. And quite possibly this energy could become viral world wide.
In my opinion, at this moment in history. Hillary is the best person among us to project America's willingness to fight the good fights and more importantly... engage those that dislike us in frank, intelligent, rational thought. Hillary also will exhibit compassion when warranted in her dealings with international interests.
Yes, Barack Obama's selection of Hillary is a direct reflection of good judgement.

I was not too happy when Hillary did not get the nomination. However I am happy that Barack has chosen her for a high level job within his cabinet and there is no doubt that Hillary will give her 100% as the Secretary of State. I wish her well.

Oh My Gosh!!! What we would give for a Hilary Clinton in Canada to replace some of the corrupt and weak leaders that we are saddled with. Just imagine multiplying the pride in our country by at least 10 times, and just imagine what our country could become!

I think Hillary will pour her heart and soul into this job, as she does in everything. I look forward to seeing her shine in this role. However, I am still very ready to vote her in as President if she were to ever run again.
I can't help but recall it was Hillary who was one of the first to forecast the economic collapse. Many years ago it was Hillary who saw the need for healthcare reform, although the insurance co. and drug co. were successful in scaring the public by spending millions of dollars on ads to defeat any reform from taking place..my point being, Hillary has great foresignt, and I look forward to seeing it put to great benefit for this country in her new role of SOS.
Bill will also be great in whatever role he accepts.

If we can't have Hillary as Presdident, I am thrilled to have her as Secretary of State! The world will be a better place back in the hands of the Clintons..especially Hillary!

This is good news for us and the world. Someone has said (perhaps Larry Summers) that the way to heal the US economy at this point is to heal the world economy. So we have the smartest and best-respected people -- the Clintons -- now doing the most important jobs, world-scale.
However the story is flawed by a first paragraph of soap opera attempted mindreading about Hillary's private thoughts and feelings. Hillary would be doing a good job REGARDLESS of her feelings and her prospects for 2012.
