Hillary has proven over and over that she can't tell the truth. She will be relying on Bill for advice.Do we reaolly need that tag team. She will make Barack look bad.

Although i am a true democratic and liberal, i really wanted Hilary to be our first female president in my life but that didn't happen. So i'm goin to support our new President Elect Obama. He ran a very strong campaign and needs to start working on the change that we are about to embark in this country. What better asset then to have Hilary Rodham Clinton as our next Secretary of State. He would be a fool to not pick her for an elite of the elite cabinets in our government. We need all the strength and power we can get. good luck President Obama you will need it..

Having Hillary for Secretary of State would be a horrible choice. She ran her Nasty campaign for a very long.......... time and never conceded and she never supported him. She also has no African Americans on her payrol either. Further she voted for the Crazy war on Iraq. She will have her own agenda and never follow the President. He will have to get rid of her in 4 years or less like Bush did of Powel. He should have picked Bill Richardson who's latino or John Kerry, they were for him President Obama in the beginning. I have always donated and supported Obama but am disappointed by this. Hillary needs to shut up and work for President Obama's AGENDA not her own. Her friends/donors are still saying nasty things about OBAMA on T.V.

Bill Clinton has not supported until he needed him. OBAMA NEEDS TO CLEAN HOUSE AND GET A NEW FRESH TEAM FO CHANGE in Washington. I don't trust her!
