I think they are ull shitting me , because all the people I work with say that they spent the 1,2.00 dollars they received , so I think they should give every tax payer a divided share of the 1 trilion bail out this would fix all the problems with Banking (some would save some would pay house payments) (going to banks) some pay cards some buy cars (helping auto )It would go out like a spider web AND HELP EVERYONE..

THINK,THINK THERE ARE SOME OTHER SMART PEOPLE IN AMERICA BESIDE THE CLINTONS.SENATOR IS NOT THE BEST PERSON FOR THE SECRETARYN OF STATE POSITION, BUT OBAMA HAVE TO GIVE HER SOMETHING, BECAUSE THE 18 MILLION SO CALLED PEOPLE WANT AND NEED A QUEEN.
SOME PEOPLE ARE AND IS UP SET, ABOUT HILLARD & BILL'S REMARK ON THE CAMPAIGN TAIL, AND WILL NOT FORGET OR FORGIVE AS EASY AS OTHERS. OBAMA IS SHOWING SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WAS WITH HIM FROM THE START, THAT THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE, WITH THE CLINTONS.
BUT IN 4 YEARS ACTION WILL SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS.

In my opinion the clintons will always be the best for america and they did before and they will always be. If obama fans are still not greatful of the clintons they better wake up now because obama himself finds its shameful not to recognized that besides if I were the clintons why should they care but their not like that even if they are already considered the rich, famous and everything you wont find them brag about on what they do to the american people anyway the american people loves the clintons thats the only way we can show respect to them.

Campaign is over.They may have slammed on each other in the process of getting their party's nomination,but we all have to understand they are in politics.It takes a great deal of diplomacy & commitment to their cause to put everything aside & support one another to do what they deem best for America!
Clinton worked hard on the can=mpaign trail to get a Democratic president elected.She believes the Democrats can bring change. The Clinton insiders are loyal Democrat supporters.& during Bill Clinton's two terms, they were able to get rid of the huge deficit & left us with a balanced budget & a surplus.There were more peaceful & friendly negotiations as opposed to war!
I am for Obama's selection of his Cabinet. That is change.He's reaching out to Republicans, & the Clinton team who cleaned up America after Bush administration His selection process is clearly focused ,organized.
I for one am so relieved that Obama won, because to me American is past over the racial issues & we elected an African-American president. Reading the above posted comment that his/her concept of Obama change is no Clinton whatsoever is a disappointment.That is so wrong. It was fine for the Clintons to campaign for Obama,post election,they are "snakes"?
I have trust & faith in Obama's concept of change.

Too many speculations, we need facts.In my opinion, we should let the Obama team do the appropriate process needed prior to finalizing her appointment.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is the best person for the job. It will be excellent for America & all other nations if she were to be appointed Secretary of State.

The Republicans need to move away from being bible school teachers and provide answers to what kind of government they want to create.....for all Americans, not just white Christians. I don't want to hear about God when discussing the economy or education or global warming. I do want to know how we can get done what is needed with a balanced budget and WITHOUT millions of undereducated Americans in poor health.
Detroit did do it to itself. Micromanage any company who wants government money. Why not? Fire management, eliminate all bonuses, eliminate all overtime, eliminate all union work rules, put everyone on government payscale and healthcare, don't give them anything. Yes, it is not the true American model. But it will keep the economy whole, punish those who have profited by being lousy managers and leaders, and will help ease the crisis. Detroit has to realize only so many cars are needed in this country. Th other car companies (Toyota, etc...) are producing cars too, and are staying afloat. The best producer wins - that's the free market.
Clinton - should NOT be Secretary of State. Why? Not because she is a woman or because of the primaries or any of that. We've had a woman or two now, and the primaries are over and Hllary was very helpful during the election, so no bad blood there. The problems are:
1. Bill is doing work that is a direct conflict of interest problem - not a minor problem, but an insurmountable problem. Hillary must be neutral "in fact and appearance". She cannot be with Bill doing what he does. His work is good stuff, so it's not a critique of this, but the two conflict.
2. Hillary will not be loyal to Obama. It is not in her nature. She will always seek a personal advantage, and try to gather those loyal to her around her. This is not evil - just fact. She wants center stage, and will not find it easy to defer to Obama and sing his praises on a daily basis.
3. The Clinton Administration is over. Too many elements from this group of people are already in the Obama entourage. Obama risks them all being more loyal to the Clintons than him. Also, it will be difficult to discern between Obama's policies and what is being fed to him as a second Clinton reincarnation.
4. We voted for Obama - not Clinton. We want his non-partisan, global view of the world. We don't want all the Clinton insider deals. Obama promised change. Another 4 years of Clinton is not what I voted for. Barack - go back to relying on your original inside team. The Clintons are snakes - wise and good allies, but do not allow them to wedge into your policy making. You must maintain your own unique brand.
