I'm an Independent that went with Obama and his "change", reach across the aisle platform-----so much for that.
I feel like I've been kicked in the groin with each appointment! What happened to getting away from the "Washington Insiders"????
Now all we have to look forward to are 4 more years of Washington "Screwoffs" spewing platitudes and lining their pockets! It should be interesting to see the 90%+ black voters wondering "what the hell happened?" 4 years from now too.
Pay close attention for the next 12 months---spend wisely, save as much as you can and slap yourself if you have thoughts of getting help from the Government. And don't think for one second that the new Administration will be one bit better than the last----just different.
Sincerely,
"really seeing the change!"

Abraham Lincoln might have succeeded by keeping his enemies closer than his friends, but look what happened to him. Hillary has too much baggage. The prime benefit I saw in Obama's election was that we wouldn't be subjected to Hillary's voice for four years. I wouldn't wish it on the world's leaders.

NO, NO, NO! She has done nothing for my state, New York, and publicly said that Obama didn't have the experience to be President. Make her serve out her term, and help New Yorkers, not mess up the entire country. The sad thing is that she has fooled so many American women with her lies, for shame!

I am confident that Obama will have gathered a cabinet of leaders who can lead us out of this undoubted republican-led recession before America will tumble into a depression nite-mare which will destroy us all.... There is nothing comfortable on the other side which the last eight years have dropped us into. I can't imagine of anyone wanting to pickup a snake at this time of decision and direction. The voting count has resolutely shown which direction we want to move to and there will be no one individual on his prospective team who can singular stop us as a people to move it in the right direction. We just won't allow it, not this time. God Bless America and its Citizens.

If Obama should pick Hillary for this job, then he's not as smart as I had given him credit for and I for one will never sopport him again.
He'd be like the young man that stopped on the side of the road and picked up a injured rattlesnake. He nursed her back to health and petted her everyday. Then one day she bit him and he ask "WHY? She just looked him in the eye and said...you knew what I was when you picked me up.

Typical of the Clintons, nothing goes smoothly. They keep the camera and press on them. Obama should never have vetted her and after all this nonsence he should dump her. She's an albatros.
I still don't understand why she's so great on foreign policy. She did vote for the war, said she would obliterate Iran, and had to duck all those bullets on her foreign trip. Does that make you an expert?
He needs to name a Hispanic to an important post; hence. Bill Richardson would have been the better pick with certainly less drama.

I think Obama uses Hillary as a Political Whipping Post. i.e. He tosses her name into the ring of "prospectives" and uses it to distract criticisms of any actions he is presently involved in. Helen Whelan

Before Hillary Clinton can become Secretary of State, the Obama administration will certainly insist on a number of conditions which could include:
1) Bill Clinton must provide a complete listing of all donors to his foundation and presidential library.
2) Both Bill and Hillary Clinton must agree that any and all private financial dealings and other interactions with foreign leaders will not take place unless specifically authorized by the US government.
3) Hillary Clinton agrees to publically discuss exactly what her approach to the job of Secretary of State will be and clearly indicate how she will be able to perform that job without any conflict of interest whatsoever.
If Bill and Hillary Clinton are unwilling or unable to comply with whatever the Obama administration considers necessary, Hillary Clinton cannot become Secretary of State. The ball is in the Clinton’s court.
