It started out being two Obama advisors saying Obama was 'considering' Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State.  That rumor stewed for a day and a half across the airwaves. 

Late this afternoon more scoop is released that, yes indeed, Hillary did visit with Obama in Chicago yesterday. 

Tonight, sources are saying the President Elect Barack Obama has offered the position of Sec of State to Senator Hillary Clinton - with one reliable source saying that Governor Bill Richardson 'also' met with Obama today about the position.

Now on The Drudge Report, they have headlines saying, "NYT ON CLINTON/OBAMA: 'Associates of both Democrats cautioned that their conversation was mostly general and that no job was offered'..."

Do any of you remember the wild rumors about Barack Obama offering (or not) the VP slot to Hillary Clinton in July and August of this year?  Remember those of us that called them false, that the Clinton's were trying to negotiate for the position?  Some of us said the Clinton's were warning Obama, of consequences if he didn't select Hillary.

Well folks, I'm thinking somebody in the Clinton camp is pushing, once again, for something.  Is it the Sec of State position?  I don't know, I don't think anybody really knows but the parties involved.

I still think if Hillary is in the cabinet, it should be Secretary of Health because that's supposedly been her life long dream (or so she claimed during her campaign - get universal health care for all).  But, if one stops to think for a moment - what would 'really' be a surprise to all of us?  Could Obama name her as his Secretary of Defense?

I'm serious.  You don't have to have military service to be one.  She's a war hawk remember and she has a plan to get out of Iraq now.  She's got Washington, Congressional and diplomacy experience.  She's worked with the troops over the years and 18 million people thought she qualified as President - so doesn't that give her even more clout as Sec of Def?

We'll see what happens, but I think most of the hype in the media is negotiations going on AGAIN.

I will remain very disappointed in Barack Obama if he does allow her to be his Sec of State.  She will out stage him in the media simple because of 'who' she is.  She will undermine his goals with other nations - I'm sure of it.  Remember folks, she would love nothing better than to help him lose that 'attraction' from voters he just received on November 4^th so that she could run again in 2012.

I can hear her now, "I warned you folks, he just didn't have the experience required to do the job.  I warned him that the direction he was taking was wrong while in his cabinet, but he wouldn't listen."

President Elect Obama will be very sorry if he even considers her to be in his cabinet - he will not be able to control her or her husband Bill Clinton.

It's best to leave her in the Senate where other Senators have control of 'her'.

Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC is reporting that two Obama advisers have told NBC News that Hillary Clinton is under consideration to be secretary of state...

Other Democrats known to want the State Department post are Sen. John Kerry and Gov. Bill Richardson. A possible compromise choice would be former Sen. Tom Daschle.

No way!  I don't believe it. 

Number one, she fought President Elect Barack Obama's vision of diplomacy and his plans of talking to our enemies during the campaign. 

Number two, she is a Senator.  The Senate, Harry Reid and President Elect Obama will need every Senator they can get their hands on if they want to get any really tough bills passed - especially health care.  Aren't they currently working hard to win in Alaska, Minnesota and Georgia.

The best man for the job would be Sen Tom Daschle because he wouldn't take up any current Democrat's position like Hillary, Kerry or Richardson would.  However, the best man because of his experience would be, Governor Bill Richardson.

I pray this offer wasn't part of the deal for her and Bill's cooperation during his campaign against Senator John McCain.  If it was, it sure proves what I've said about Hillary and Bill all along.  They are out for number one, not the Party or the American people.
