Officials: Obama set to introduce Clinton

I am sure Hillary can't wait to get in the middle of what's going on in the world today.  Secretary of State is high profile.  It gives her additional street cred when/if she runs for president again. 

 Don't believe that the idea of becoming president is not securely hiding in the back of her mind-- "one day, one way or the other."

I believe she will be a very good Secretary of State and will be there the entire 8 years of Obama.  She can even pronounce the word nuclear.

Again what the ell you talking about????

Im a foreign dignitary... I don't even consider her... She is a JOKE

You are sending a JOKE around the world representing USA..

I'm not going to speak to this trash ...are you serious....?

obama is not stupid.. (ok well)  he saw a chance to remove all contenders in 2012 and he took it.. Most of his (staff) is former people who ran against him or were on Clintons Team..

The constitution of the United States ..1.6 states that a senator that voted of a pay rise for the Secretary of State ,cant not be seated for that office .so if Obama does this he already has become 1 of the Washington  B.S he said he would not ...good thinking Bozo ...the guys should not be in office..Hes just like all the rest of them

James, it reads

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

Translation:  you can't create a job with higher pay and get appointed to it just for a wage increase and that you cannot hold a congressional seat AND another office at the same time.

can even pronounce the word nuclear

well that makes it A-ok, i suppose. 

or do we want someone who fully understands and comprehends the reality of the threats we face, pronounciation be *amned?  that didn't show such contempt, loathing and disdain for the military and intel communities while first lady?

No don't discourage her...She was a do nothing Senator from NY.. I for one am glad she is going..

I really don't have any problems with any of Obamas picks except Richardson.. He the coward who wanted us to drop our guns in Iraq and put up the white flag..I have no use for him...

FOR ME, I WILL KEEP MY FREEDOM, GUNS AND LIBERTY

you can keep the "change"

Thats getting pretty old, try being original next tme.

Chris5209...get some culture...read who and what Hillary has done...before you start calling names...The world is laughing at us....sad that we have such idiots in our country that we have to put down our own.....Hillary will be the best because she is LOVED, ADMIRED AND MOST OF ALL RESPECTED ALL OVER THE WORLD....THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT ALL THAT PUT HER DOWN....THEY MUST SAY..NO WONDER AMERICA IS HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME NOW....BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT KICK THEIR OWN DOWN. SHAME ON YOU.

I hope that Obama has a signed but undated letter of resignation from Clinton.  That way, at the first wobble, he just fills in the date and then he and the country are rid of her.  That'll wipe the smirk of insincerity that like her fat assed pant suits seems to be a trademark.

Mary, you obviously understand

If this was a poker game, WE JUST LOST ..

I think that all the dumb latinos who voted for the Messiah are being so slighted. Bill Richardson Governor of New Mexico is far more qualified to be SOS than Mrs. Clinton! All that Bill is being considered for now is Secretary of Commerce. He has already negotiated with other countries he served in the former Clinton administration and he is just far more qualified. I guess the One is just paying back! Too sad!

I believe H. Clinton is a very good choice, but there were others that would have  been also. She is well qualified for the job. As for change just look at those he has chosen for different jobs. All very intelligent people. Not all agree with him on all things, but he also said he wants people that will exchanged idea's, so there would be different ideas put forth to solve problems. Pres. elect Obama, is a very strong person and will control all. He will think and put ideas togather. This is what an intelligent person does, not just go ahead and say "this is what I want and that is that" He will not just jump into something without the facts. He has shown that through out his campaign, and is doing so now, putting to gather intelligent people with experience in the field where he put them. Bring ideas to the table, to discuss. He will be and is for the people. He will be ready to take off running on day one. He isn't president yet as Bush is, so not much he can do except get the program mapped out and be ready to go day one. He is a very organized man. He will with his cabinet be able to regain the respect we have lost in the world and set this country on the right tract. It will be a very difficult job and things will be worse before better economically. If we work with him it will happen. Our country is in a mess right now and our reputation is not good around the world.Look at the man , he can do it with our help. The change has started even though he isn't president yet. He is picking people from different sides , looking for people who are intelligent. Not looking at race or religon.

Its funny how many poeple on this post are qualified to determine if a person is quialified or not to servie in public office.

Get over youselves.....

tim-

try spell check

Just because Richardson is mexican that certainly doesn't make him more qualified than Hillary. Latinos made the right choice during the election, Obama will look out for all people.

I hope so because if no one has noticed the change that everyone is talking about is Black/Latinos being finally inducted before we overrun our country with Indian and chinese demographics that are already off to a good start with immigrating in 24months and being middle class by 48 months. With all the rewritting of history that is going on in order to justify political and social agendas I don't know how it could ever be explained that latinos came in last even to new arrivals. When they get there turn before 2042 everything will be remembered so If I were Obama I would tread lightly because times always will and always do change.

have faith the country is being given away by mr b NOCHANGE. Anyways, the democrats have now done even a worse job than the bush administration in terms of setting up the country for future inflation, declines in productivity, government waste through poor spending. The democrats havent shown anything different than the bush administration, perhaps showing even less understanding of the economy and how to right it over the long term. Its laughable, mr NOCHANGE gets elected on a policy of change, and he brings back many of the clintonites that america was only to happy to kick out of politics and elect bush. Wow, america is confused, at least right now.

Best people for the job..... ahhhhh... well....

I could get a cow and a chicken and at least they will not rob us blind....

You need a little less wool.....

With the economy like it is my only wish is that we had Mitt Romney at the helm.  It told all of your Huckster "true believers" that a vote for Huck would get you McCain and ultimately Obama.  Well, here we are.  If Obama were serious about helping the country, he would have Mitt Romney (remember all that talk about bringing us together and bi-partisan work) on his advisory committee to help save the US economy/nation.  His refusal to do so only shows again how shallow were his promises of change in the partisan nature of the government.  Shame!

Whitebird et al. You are perfectly right. This BS of Clinton getting impeached over an under the desk tryst was stupid beyond words. Obama has picked the worlds greatest team to put the US back in the game. Those who continue to harp on HC and BC are only stickingtheir heads in the sand and refuse to admit it. Both of them together(albeit HC definitely has a mind and respect  of her own)  have the most viability in the entire world and they are both not only diplomats but represent what the world has to admit as sheer strength. I'm very impressed by the team he has put in place. NONE of THEM ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD. BUSH IS. Yes, I felt like I had to yell this. It just makes me sick for those who would continue to bring down the US at least by debasing O's choices. Jealousy rears it's ugly head I think because they didn't think of it first, GW never thought of it and I kind of wonder if they are professional bloggers.

Winger, take heart! After the Bushies get done robbing us there will be nothing left for the Clintons to steal.

So what is up with all of these promises for change!!  Another Clinton for the Obama Administration.You call this change.  All Obama has done is pick people that worked in the Bill Clinton Administration.  Where are all the new people that can do this jobs and really provide change in the best direction for this country.

Please - Obama if I wanted the Clinton administration again why did you even run for President.  Once again - the country has been let down.

What did you hate about the Clinton presidency the peace or the prosparity?

Once again these right wing professionals (nut jobs) can read the future to see Obama's failure. I think they are scare that he will suceed and make them look bad. If they can no longer predict the future they wont have anyone to talk about...

BLUEinOregon.... NOW THAT.....WAS FUNNY

meneither123... WOW.. is all I can say....Your not even on Good GanJa....!

Step back and drop the Syringe ! IM telling you ! It's a killer and Your going totally DELUSIONAL.....

Before DELIRIUM sets in......

Obama is already bought and sold; like everything else in this country that goes under the wire as Obama makes his selection it is also a representation of who actually owns this country in regards to an ethnic group. It would not be a full cabinet without and Italian at the helm, but its either that or we'll have more Italians at the state helms in a governership in a failed and bought and sold voting system.

Change the channel.

CD- nice!

So she lied to a Senate subcommittee about Whitewater - so what?  So she was exonerated in all of the suspicious deaths of her Whitewater co-conspirators - so what?  So her Whitewater dealings made her, her husband, and their co-conspirators  very rich while bankrupting the unsuspecting investors - so what?  So she carpet-bagged it to New York and those morons elected her - so what?  This woman should be in prison, not in political office.  She is deceitful and incredibly self-serving.  Didn't we as a nation make it perfectly clear that we don't want her?  So why is this sleazeball being shoved down our throats again?  What does she have on whom?

"Didn't we as a nation make it perfectly clear that we don't want her?"

No, the Democratic party made it clear she wasn't the chosen Democratic candidate. If she had been selected as the Democratic candidate she would be our next president-elect, not Obama. 

Paul Sullivan !      ..........   I like your style... TELL IT LIKE IT IS.....

I would like to add..... Everyone will have to check in their Garlic- Silver bullets- Wooden stakes at the door.... 

And she is going to be USELESS during daylight hours.......

Have faith, we're finally getting rid of the Bushes!

I said "we as a nation", CD.  That involves a lot more people than you and your band of idiots.  You have a very lofty opinion of yourself and your beloved party.  As for the absurd notion that she would be our president-elect, she was not chosen specifically  because is un-electable.

"I said "we as a nation", CD."

Yes you did, Paul Sullivan, but the Democrats are the ones who select the Democratic candidate, not the nation. 

"As for the absurd notion that she would be our president-elect, she was not chosen specifically  because is un-electable."

Well, you certainly have a very lofty opinion of yourself and your beloved party if you think she could not have been elected.

Annie, you are going to be looking at the Clintons, front page every day, for the rest of your life.

Get used to it.

Like Slick Willie will actually reveal all donors...lol.  He will claim, if caught in yet another lie, that his definition and Obama's definition of 'contributions' are different.  Perhaps some of those were not really contributions, but pay-offs for certain favors granted, in which case he may decide they are not really donations and therefore do not need to be revealed.

Actually, I am anxious for his donor list to be given, then leaked.  I hope it does not include the names of scumballs that my mind has associated with Bill since 1995, when I first noticed something slightly sinister about him & his friends.

Corie ... that was funny......but unfortunately thats probably going through his head right now...... "How do I get this to look CLEAN......"

Weaver and the rest of your band of clowns: Obama made an excellent choice and no he won't kick her out in a year. Not only is she  very very very capable and better qualified, but is well known and respected whether you like it or not, around the world.

Plus Romney would not have pulled out of the race had he had the backing at all. Nice man, Secretary or Pres material...no.

And this stupid crap about her kicking Bill to the curb. Dumb butts were you even anywhere near aware of the worlds opinion of that very notion right along with the very Conservative citizens of the US you would know...that would be stupid, stupid. 

And where did y'all get the idiotic idea HC wasn't electable? Her campaign was not thuoght out adn she had no control over them.  Obama did his. Should the opportunity come again for her to run...I'd do it without a backward glance 

Get over it, get over yourselves, assist rather than betray and get in the way. That's very simple...get it?

step back and drop the syringe 123...

Thatstheway--I agree. 

Watch the impeach encouragement--Republicans will impeach for anything the Democrats do, but not when a Republican really needed to be kicked out.  2 times now (and 1 questionable), they have not impeached a Republican president that did far more than Clinton ever did.

annie

I'm sure we're mature enough to blame President elect Obama if he screws-up. Are you mature enough to admit Bush has screwed-up this great country?

 Bush has failed and "they" have blamed the Clintons.  Its not like Bush is going to take any responsibility for his short comings.

The thing is, Obama, could not do any worse than Bush.  Think about it, we are in 2 wars, our unemployment rate is through the roof, the deficit is also through the roof and our economic situation and futures are terrible.  So please tell me how Obama could do worse?  Still whining and being sore losers. 

Unemployment through the roof??    LMAO  

Please tell me you were referring to good 'ol J. Carter's four miserable years in office!

The true unemployment rate is currently 14%-15%. If you can't understand reasons for the falsity of the government released unemployment figures you don't have a clue as to how they arrived at that particular figure.

ROTFLMAO

Oh, I'm sure youre right, Con Dem.

You just have one lil problem.....you cant prove a THING that you wrote!!

LMAO

Bob, you continuously make comments about things you know absolutely nothing about. How many investment newsletters do you subscribe to? How many financial articles do you read on a daily basis? Is the extent of your knowledge gained from participating in discussion groups?

The government issued unemployment rate does not include those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits, or those who do not have enough work credits to qualify, or the self-employed and business owners who don't contribute to the unemployment funds and therefore cannot collect.

I don't have to prove anything to someone who is not willing to educate himself. It's such a simple thing to educate yourself, Bob. Try using a search box or visit your local library. You'll then realize the falsity of the government released figures and be on your way to learning something you don't currently know.

No doubt Annie they will blame him for all problems for the 1st 2 yrs..

I agree, I like Obama, but this choice has me puzzled. I dont think she is the right person to be the head diplomat. Particularly, with the current state of affairs in the world today. Colin Powell would have been an excellent choice. There are others within the State Dept. who could probably perform the job. Mostly you want someone with very strong foreign relations experience, but also someone with a certain level of reserve and judgement in handling negotiations. When I think of Hillary,s comment { I will blow Iran off of the face of the Earth if they attack Israel} that doesn,t strike me as showing good judgement.

"When I think of Hillary,s (sic) omment (sic) { I will blow Iran off of the face of the Earth if they attack Israel} that doesn,t (sic) strike me as showing good judgement."

It shows extremely good judgement to me. It lets the Iranian government idiots know exactly where she stands and what will happen if Iran attacks Israel. If the day comes that Iran is ignorant enough to attack Israel Iran will see an immediate response from the United States.

Yes, the response from the US now will be:

Cant you guys just get along??  Lets ALL sit down and talk, please??

LMAO

Bob, grow up.

I was referring to the wording she used not the content of the idea. I agree with the sentiment.

When I think of Hillary,s (sic) omment (sic) { I will blow Iran off of the face of the Earth if they attack Israel} that doesn,t (sic) strike me as showing good judgement."

It shows extremely good judgement to me. It lets the Iranian government idiots know exactly where she stands and what will happen if Iran attacks Israel. If the day comes that Iran is ignorant enough to attack Israel Iran will see an immediate response from the United States.

and if a gop'er had made that comment, i doubt your response would have been the same. 

Conservative Democrat !

Witch Hillary is a liar, and an embellisher of her own self worth.

You say she is a good choice ?

Shows how far your head is up her butt -------- You can't see the truth.

Conservative Democrat you are pathetic.

What people in this country fail to recognize is that the rest of the world still love and respect the Clintons.  They thought we were insane to have a problem with his personal life while he was in office as this is not something that is looked at that closely in Europe.  Hillary will have the ear of leaders throughout the world and their respect.  She has a head start on anyone else that could have been named to be Secretary of State.  And, she will be much more respected than Condoleeza Rice who is just a "yes" person to George Bush.  Obama has made excellent choices so far and certainly has a stronger group than George Bush has ever put together!

Goin you are TOTALLY FULL OF ship... OK

Stop the BS NOW

Ive spent years oversea's

your a TOTAL FRAUD and have no idea what your talking about...

Most european's Loath Clinton -Both of them

In their eyes they see NOTHING BUT CORRUPTION

So cut the SHIP because your puffing hot air out your arse by way of mouth and have no idea what your saying SPAM MAN ,.... get a grip on yourself... You are truely SICK!

"and if a gop'er had made that comment, i doubt your response would have been the same."

Yes, it would have been the same. You haven't read many of my posts. I criticize and condemn my party and members of my party when it is deserved, which is quite often. By the same token, I give credit where credit is due, regardless of the party involved. 

the fact you back a clinton  and see no wrong...well there is little else to discuss with you...Right there you lost TOTAL credibility...

cd, i've read your posts. you're a clone of rahm emmanuel.

Time to wake up and get off the Kool Aid.

Karen, you been listening to Rush again?  Find a new buzz word ok?

verno,

you must be a fan of El Rushbo. You seem to know his talking points.

Do you hide in the closet when you listen???

i'll keep my freedom, guns and liberty - - you keep the change

trco--you have lost more freedoms and liberty under Bush than at any other time in America!  The guns are still there--ALL OF THEM,

And if "you people"  have anything to do with it, Men convicted of Domestic violence will once again be allowed to keep multiple guns.  Automatic weapons that kill dozens of kids and cops will continue to sell for trophies. 

Be careful about what you wish for this country because of your arrogance.

No Lisa we will try it the Lemming way...... Give up all the guns — Hell with the constitution- and then do as were told...

NOT!

Once the guns are gone- It is TOTALLY OVER- they can do anything.

To tell you the truth, at this point if they came marching in to collect all the guns..

your going to have to take me out cause there is nothing left to live for..... If I take a few out, so be it.... I dont really think were going to have much if anything to look foward to in a couple..maybe not even ...Years...

Kinda like it's OVER before it even started... OB showed us his cards already .... and the  same bull we've been having the last 50 years...... Nothing has changed actually it's worse... You got the scam infested sleeze ball clinton cabinet with head sleezeball HILLBAGS leading the way....

Watching this happen infront of our eyes is like......... BEND OVER AND TAKE A DEEP  BREATH CAUSE THIS IS GOING TO HURT......

Mike, if you feel that this is Obama's first big mistake you are really blind.

How about 20 years with a racist preacher?

How about starting a political career with a terrorist?

How about wanting to share the wealth?

Obama has made many mistakes.  Personally I feel he hired on Clinton so he could get some on the job training.  After he's done learning a few things, he'll throw her under the bus like he does everybody else.

To Winger:  You clearly have serious personal problems and should probably be seeing someone to get help.  After eight years of Bush and you dear Republicans sending our country into a tailspin, Obama's choices are a great relief.  He has tapped people with intelligence and experience.  He is making great choices and has been impressing knowledgeable people - including many top Republicans - with the choices he has made.

Now it's time for you to call a good therapist - you clearly need help!

To Goin... Like calling the kettle black Goin- The fact that you endorse the ABSOLUTE TRASH that is coming through the door makes you no better then the TRASH that is in place....

Do me a favor and try your Therapy cession elsewhere...

You have nothing to stand on and are looking more the fool of it......

Old saying (I think), "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer"....Will not be a dull moment in DC for the next few years.

Thank you, Anonymous, for being able to see the big picture. In any event, Obama will be the president and Hillary Clinton will do as she is told.

Hillary will "do as she is told"?  Wow, I want some of what you're smoking.

Only if you'll give me some of what you're smoking.

Whatever!    If it's good....I WANT SOME!!!!!!!

I think Hillary will be a great SoS and I don't think that will stop her from pursuing the presidency in 2012 or 2016.  People keep saying this takes her out of the running.  I don't think she should be underestimated.

What?  Republicans thought it was a great idea to bring in Daddy Bush's people --who are you listening to?

Ya'll didn't call little Bush names; wouldn't even allow the Dixie Chicks to make a snide remark.  Hypocrits. 

Yeah I hear ya 6sp.  I'm trying to be a good American and support this admin.  Character, or lack therof, among the group scares me.

The thing is, Obama, could not do any worse than Bush.  Think about it, we are in 2 wars, our unemployment rate is through the roof, the deficit is also through the roof and our economic situation and futures are terrible.  So please tell me how Obama could do worse?  Still whining and being sore losers. 

Lar,  Please give the birth certificate thing a rest already!  It is not an issue.  You and others keep bringing that up at every chance, and what good has it done  you?  There is no issue, it is an urban legend, and all you sore loser, right fighters, need to give it up as we did for the last 8 years, all the while knowing Bush was taking us to disaster. Please get a grip!

Lynn, I will keep my mind open on Obama's performance as President.  His success means this nation's success.  We could do worse than Bush, we could be a nation defenseless against terrorism like India, Pakistan, Britain, Spain, etc.  Bush has spent an enormous amount of money rebuilding the military, very much contributing to this economic problem.  I don't like the deficit and borrowing from foreign countries, but I understand it.  The economy is also bad because of policies of past administration and a general public view that everyone has a right to own a house and in some cases a much bigger house than required.  I believe Bush did what he thought was right for this country.  I am concerned about the motives of the Clintons and the Obamas.  I am not concerned about the birth certificate issue, I am concerned that IT IS an issue.  It shouldn't be.

Hummm. Do you think McCain's first wife would agree? Ever heard of the Keating 5? Maybe you missed that part of history class.

Lar, time for you to do your homework.

Bush did what he thought was right for this country? OMG!!! He did what was "RIGHT" for his crony friends and the right wing-not for me, not for you and for sure not for my family members that are on their 3rd and 4th tours in this "war on Terror". 

Get over it! We can NEVER  EVER do worse than Bush/Cheney.

Bring on the new administration. I am eager to see what they do. Hillary too.

I don't have to do my homework, he was exonerated in 90 or 91. He made some bad decisions about attending some meetings, but didn't do anything wrong.  Even Clinton's attorneys said he was innocent.  Did you know he was exonerated?

Now, are you familiar with the fact that he was close to death from injuries when he was offered a trip home from the Hanoi Hilton, but refused because of his sense of honor.  He would have been a propaganda tool.  That is not opinion.  He placed honor and this nation above his own life.  Don't criticize a great man you know little about.

As far as Bush doing for his crony friends, that is the opinion of his opponents.  There is no fact there.  But fact is, we have not been attacked on this soil since 9/11, and don't start the "Bush is responsible for 9/11" because that reasoning is like blaming Lincoln for slavery.  Bush is not the most intelligent president we had,  Carter was a lot smarter.  Do you consider him a successful President.  You might even blame the current Middle East situation on him and Warren Christopher for sparking Shiite Khomeinism in Iran, and subsequently in the region.

I thank you and your family for volunteering to serve this country.  History will prove, in my opinion, that the war on terrorism was correctly handled by Bush and you family sounds to be contributing.

McCain received money and all kinds of perks form Keating. His wife Cindy and her fam were also involved in business deals with Keating. You need to do some actual research.

I won't even get into McCain cheating on and divorcing a faithful wife to marry a rich heiress with a politically well connected family.

McCain talks loudly about honor but doesn't "walk the walk".

his nickname as a POW says it all (Songbird). Somebody who gave up air routes to the enemy and made propaganda tapes/films for better medical treatment while his fellow POW's aren't receiving any, is hardly the poster boy for honorable.

Daddy Admiral held his hand from college thruout his military career. McCain was probably ashamed to go home early and face daddy. According to other POW's, once McCain "sang" and was a recognized Admirals son, he recieved lenient treatment.

Lar, can we just agree to disagree on this? You love Bush and the gang, and you are sold on McCain.

I am sorry, I surely don't mean to insult your intelligence. You and I just don't use the same references.

Sometimes, for the sake of argument, you gotta just walk away and let people believe what they do.

Thanks  MM and Lar, just because someone was a POW, does not mean that we should elect them President of the US.  He is and was a good man and soldier.  I admire and thank him for his service to our country.  He has been rewarded both in accolades and monetarily very well.  Now to get on with the work of getting this nation back on track.  The american people did not feel nor did they elect John McCain to do that.  That doesn't mean he is dumb, bad or anything.  He was not elected, he remains a senator from Arizona in the US Senate.  And truthfully, he will have the easier job, than Obama.  Why anyone would want to do this, is beyond me.  We have stood by for 8 years, full well knowing that George W. was not doing what needed to be done, taking us into a war, under false pretenses and now we are reaping the havoc that he has led us into.  He will go down as one of the worst, and history will prove that.  And as for terrorism, just look around, terrorists can be here and do things, any day that they choose.  If you think that Bush made us safer, you are wrong.  We visited NYC 2 yrs. ago, and they have really bulked up protection around the statue of liberty, ellis island and other such sites.  The poople of NYC said, we do not worry about them attackiing these places, as they mean nothing to them, only to us.  They will attack where it will hurt us the most, financially.  Bush's war, has set us back so much in relationships with other countries and the people of this world.  We are a global economy now, and this financial crisis shows that.  I just hope that they see it for what it was.  An ineffective President, who would not listen, and kept on his own course, regardless of the consequences.

heard of the Keating 5

as his attorney said (Bob Bennett, card carrying democrat) "no finding of wrongdoing...completely exonerated."  try again

Lar:  What nonsense.  There is no missing birth certificate - it has been authenticated and shows he was born in the U.S.  McCain begged for Hagee's endorsement - do you not remember the minister who said that Katrina was Gods way of getting rid of gays?   McCain lost his honor when he ran an absolutely disgusting campaign and showed he had no idea of what is going on in the economy.  Michelle Obama explained her remarks very clearly and to most people's satisfaction - but you really don't care about the truth do you?  Let's talk about Bush's christianity - killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's to settle a score for his father and for oil.  You don't have a leg to stand on.  Obama is a great choice for president.  He ran an honorable campaign; has more intelligence than the entire Bush administration; has chosen his staff wisely - looking at what is needed and selecting the best people for the job.  He is doing a great job and will prove it in the first two years of his administration.  Of course it will take that long to correct the mess Bush and his cronies have gotten us into.

Talking about not having a leg to stand on...

goin...... Rather be thought a fool Goin, then to speak like yourself

and remove ALL DOUBT....

First of all....GET OFF THE CRACK !!!!!!~!~ Dam

I do not want to be associated with the scum infested Clintons,,,,, Wake up and get off the crack....

Your talking like a complete fool.....

If we want trash in the whitehouse ...back up a garbage truck......LOOKS like we already did,,......

Bunch of COMPLETE LOSERS.....

I am not upset with Bill for being unfaithful to his wife.  A simple apology would have made been fine.  Instead, we were blessed with the sight of him lying through his 'pearly whites', as he was shown swearing he did not have sex with Monica.  Then after he was caught lying under oath, he claimed his definition of sex was 'different'.  Children were listened repeatedly to his claims, shown on TV, that BJ's are not sex.  Therefore when a child is asked if she ever had sex, she is perfectly right to say 'no', if it was only oral sex.  That is what all children who watched TV news or read neewpapers learned from our Slick Willie.

Trash?  Yep. Wish Obama would clean it up instead of collecting it.  Many of his followers voted against the Clintons, not because they wanted them back in the White House.

Corie,

The focus or the spotlight is not Bill Clinton, unless you are pushing your agenda. We should be talking about the type of Secretary of State Hillary will be. Both sides of the political parties have dirt and huge closets of skeletons.  I think Hillary will do just fine.

DarinD

My comment was mostly in response to that of Emma's, who brought Bill into this spotlight when she commented, "...so funk off all of you who say things about this poor man...Lets embrace the Clintons in the White House once again".  I just got tired of listening to people who seem to think all the trouble in Clinton's administration was due to a simple BJ, which Hilary forgave.  Emma said, "...Bill was what he was did what he did but if Hilary forgave him so can America."  I don't recall Hillary saying she forgave Bill for lying over and over under oath. 

I have never met anyone who has not forgiven Bill for his sexual escapades.  But I have also never personally met anyone who has forgiven him for his lying under oath.

And I do realize that, even though it was 'Wee Wee Willie' who was impeached, that both 'parties have dirt', as you pointed out. 

I have nothing much to add about Hillary.  I think her past record shows that she deserves the surname Clinton, for she seems to be just as slimy as the other Clinton that Emma wants "n the White House once again".  How many times did she get caught in a lie during her campaign?  Many times.  Guess she took lessons from that other Clinton.  I am thankful she got her future post, rather than winning in the Presidential race.  And I'm relieved that she was not given the VP position.  As many of us feared, if she had become VP, Obama probably would not have enjoyed his presidential office for long.

I am pretty sure that she will do fine in one of her new duties as Secretary of State, when she "ensures the protection of the U.S. Government to American citizens, property, and interests in foreign countries..."  Clintons have a history of providing protection for some Americans & their interests, usually in return for favors (or donations to their foundation).

Even though my dad spends lots of time helping the Democratic party, I dislike it - as I do the Republican party (which my mom supports), as you should know if you've read my other comments.  I have nothing against Obama.  I had planned to vote for him - until he chose the scumbag Biden as a running mate.  If something happens to Obama, Biden will be in charge.  I don't think my country would be in good hands in those circumstances.

Corie,

One of the traits that seem to get lost in the hostile scutiny is of President elect Obama is his ability to lead. During the campaign McCain and Palin both dismissed his earlier days as a community organizer (foot solider). I am hopeful that president elect Obama will once again get this country headed in the right direction and on the right side of history.  As I look at his cabinet being constructed I see wisdom, knowledge, leadership and a desire to serve.  One of the things I learned during my 30 year career as a Marine is that if you surround yourself with good people, and you will deliver great results. We will not get out of this recession with single minded mental midgets!.

You mentioned that Hillary was caught in a lie several times throughout the campaign. You are absolutely correct she was caught lying about the Bosnia trip, but at the same time I watched McCain and Palin distort the truth for political gain. So as I stated earlier both sides have skeletons.

The lesser of two evils, I would take Biden any day over Palin, and apparently the majority of Americans feel the same way.

I was one of those Regan Democrats that grew tired of my party and did not like the direction of the DNC. I think President elect Obama has adopted a group of Republicans that no longer can relate to the GOP platform.

Whats wrong with you....?
Did you just fall off the good ship LOLIPOP????

right on kettle!! couldnt agree more!!

winger

be a good boy and listen to American Lobo..go night night

Yes, GOD BLESSED AMERICA. MR OBAMA-NOCHANGE and the well baked, past their prime CLINTONITES can be booted out in 2012, just like they were kicked out by the voters in 2000. Democracy is great, especially when someone campaigns for change and there is no real change. Its nice to be an INDEPENDENT.

to kettleyn:  You are right.  freedom - Clinton was not booted out in 2000 - he had served two terms and we have term limits for our president - didn't you know?  Obama is bringing a fresh new face and great new intelligence to the White House.  We will all be better for him being President.  And, any good President surrounds himself with people who have experience - as Obama is doing.  Like it or not Hillary is well known throughout the world and the Clintons are still revered in Europe.  She will do a great job in repairing our reputation overseas.

Maybe with Obama going in he'll see if something can't be done about the education level in this country.

It'd be nice if kids were given Civics classes again so they'd actually know that presidents can only serve two terms and so they'd actually have to -read- and discuss the Constitution and Bill of Rights. lol

Hey Goin, I see you got your blue pom-poms out doing your little cheer...

Again putting your little seal of approval ....

read my lips Idiot....

The clinton's are a COMPLETE DISGRACE IN THE EYES OF MOST EUROPEAN'S..

allright SPAM-Man.... YOU GOT THAT STRAIGHT.

Not only are they INTENSELY Disliked...

But to most this is another fatal blow to our esteem in other parts of the world...

Hilary did forgive him for the adultery.  So did many of us.  I doubt if the scandal over the lying under oath was forgiven.  Didn't we already give him a second chance, and a third chance, for the other times he wronged us..  How did he repay us?  By lying under oath.  Both he and Nixon seem to be cut from the same cloth.
