Perhaps the REAL position President elect Barack Obama has offered to Senator Hillary Clinton is to be his National Security Advisor (NSA).  She 'is' a hawk after all and as he's stated in the past, he wants opposite views -- not 'yes' people.

NSA people don't have so much of a public job.  They work more 'behind' the scenes.  This would be giving Hillary a very important job; but also keeping her out of the mainstream media's eye.

Would Hillary be able to work without cameras starring at her?  That would interesting to see -- wouldn't it?

Perhaps it's really Governor Bill Richardson Obama has offered the Secretary of State position -- after all, he's the one with actual negotiating experience with our allies as well as some of our enemies.

President Elect Barack Obama ran his campaign saying the lobbyists needed to be taken out of Washington.  He said during a debate with Hillary Clinton and John Edwards that lobbyist definitely have influence on the politicians and that this influence must stop.  He said they would not have access to his administration.

Hillary Clinton during this same debate said, when asked if she would continue taking money from lobbyists, "YES I will, these lobbyists are people like nurses, etc..." 

Watch the video of this debate.

Now that Obama is soon to have his own administration -- what is one of the first things he does?  He is reported to have asked, who else, but Hillary Clinton (one of the biggest lobbyist friend in Washington) to be his Secretary of State.

Do you suppose that each country she visits as SOS might 'also' have lobbyists working for them?

Either one of these men would be superior to this position.  Clark has served his nation for many years in the Army, he was Supreme Commander in Bosnia and has traveled the world talking to many of our allies as well as our enemies.  So has Governor Bill Richardson.

The problem of using Richardson is, it would take him away from a needed State governorship.  Wesley Clark is not currently serving in government.  He has been in the private sector for a few years now and is well known for his campaigning with Democrats and the Clinton's.  He would be perfect for the job.

As for Hillary Clinton being Sec of State - this should NOT happen.  She should either stick in the Senate and help Kennedy pass health care for all, and maybe even try to take Harry Reid's position as Majority Leader...or she should be given the Secretary of Health cabinet position.

I am predicting that President Elect Barack Obama will be nominating former Senator Chuck Hagel for his Secretary of Defense soon.

Hagel has been against the Bush administrations foreign policy since day one.  He's more in line with Barack Obama's views.  He's a Republican and Obama has already said he will have at least one republican in his cabinet.  Chuck Hagel would be the perfect man.

While Hagel may not agree with Obama's domestic policies, he leans toward the same views of Obama on the foreign side.  He's a military hero and has been friends with John McCain for years but spoke against McCain during his campaign this year.  Hagel supported Obama most of the time while never to my knowledge, endorsing him.  Hagels wife endorsed Obama.

Chuck Hagel - Secretary of Defense.  Great Idea.

Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned.

Obama's advisers have begun looking into Bill Clinton's foundation, which distributes millions of dollars to Africa to help with development, to ensure that there is no conflict of interest. But Democrats do not believe that the vetting is likely to be a problem.

Clinton would be well placed to become the country's dominant voice in foreign affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected senator for New York, she has specialised in foreign affairs and defence. Although she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama basically agree on a withdrawal of American troops.

Clinton, who still harbours hopes of a future presidential run, had to weigh up whether she would be better placed by staying in the Senate, which offers a platform for life, or making the more uncertain career move to the secretary of state job.

President Elect Barack Obama sir, you will be forever sorry you made this choice -- I'm sure of it.

Just as this article stated, Hillary had to weigh up which position would be best for her next run for the Presidency.  Who do you suppose she will be looking out for during the next four years; President Obama's administration or her very own future? 

What better way is there to undercut your enemy while 'appearing' at the same time, to support his every word; be the man's Secretary of State.  Gain a few supporters while making behind closed deals of for your own future.

Hillary Clinton will be in the same position that Senator John McCain was this year, too old by 2016 to run for President, so her next best chance is to run in 2012 -- giving Barack Obama only 4 years to be President before she challenges him. 

If she herself doesn't undermine Obama's foreign policy, President Bill Clinton will do what he can behind closed doors.  He wants Hillary back in the White House just as much as she wants to be there.  They proved that during the past 22 months.

These two people use to be my heroes.  I knew they weren't perfect but I never really saw the 'real' them.  Now I think I have.
