She is very smart and has a genuine feel for, and experience of, the world outside the US of A. As for Bill well he comes with the appointment and I welcome that too. But how about appointing him Ambassador to the UN ? Now that would be a signal that the US is going to be outward looking under Obama.. People underestimate Hillary at their peril.

I seriously doubt he would have killed himself for her if the shoe were on the other foot. I feel certain she will work her heart out as SOS as well. BO was probably even surprised she helped him so much during the general. HRC brought many of her supporters to BO...me included. I was very willing and ready to send a protest vote to the DNC, the RBC, and the media, but HRC seemed so damn sincere in her efforts to get a Democrat elected, so I reluctantly went along with her, because I respect her that much.

As for Hillary....Why don't you concentrate on her work on the Armed Services Committee...why don't you mention since '93, she immersed herself in foreign policy, and both Rep. and Dem alike laud her masterly grasp of foreign policy detail....why don't you mention the only people who criticize HRC as a selection for the SOS are primarily folks who are in a "ratings" war, or haven't actually "worked" with her!!! Why don't you mention the worldwide respect and love for the Clintons. Why don't you mention that HRC knows most world leaders by their first names?!?! Everybody wants to bring up Bosnia....Good grief...it was a political exaggeration like ALL Politicians do.......If she had wanted to lie about the incident all along, she would have lied in her book...she did not!!! I agree I wish she hadn't exaggerated, afterall, she was campaigning against BO, who had absolutely zero foreign policy experience. The funny thing about the Bosnia story....there really was sniper fire in the surrounding hillsides. She and Chelsea really were taken into the cockpit and issued flak jackets and briefed on the possibility of sniper fire in the war zone. There really were helicopters in the area to patrol against sniper fire, so yes, it was an exaggeration, but please don't make me type all the exaggerations BO stated on the campaign trail...the list is lengthy. As for Bill…Yes, he works with many powerful rich leaders, and why don’t you concentrate on the aids relief work, the malaria vaccinations, the poverty relief, the hurricane relief….etc.!!!!

This article infuriates me to no end! Why don't you distort, misrepresent, embellish endlessly about the Clintons?!?! The only drama surrounding the Clintons is due to media moguls and/or subjective so-called journalists frantic for the highest ratings(readership), and jumping on every utterance, hiccup, opinion of every advisor willing to speak to a reporter about Bill and/or Hillary. Given the unprecedented microscopic scrutiny they've both been under for years ad nauseum, I think they look pretty darn squeaky clean!! I'll put their integrity, intelligence, work ethic, compassion, passion, grit up against any other national political figure. I don’t know where to start. This article infuriates me to no end!

It is a downside for Hillary to accept the post of Secretary of STate to then having to do something she might not agree with or believe in. And this is likely to happen since they disagreed on things when they were running. The upside is that Obama has no experience on this, so it does help to have somebody that knows how to handle this crucial situations, and though Bill is not supposed to be doing anything with this, is very probable that if Hillary accepts, he might be close enough to provide some consulting, which would be greatly appreciate it giving the mess in which this country is in in all aspects. there are key things in which Pres elect B.Obama and Hillary Clinton disagreed upon as per speeches during the campaign.

If the family can go through 8 years of relentless mudslinging by the Republicans and still come victorious what other challenges do they have? You wrote; "U.S. intelligent reports predict that America’s economic, military, and political dominance will decline sharply over the next ten years." Before the your buddy GWBush took office where were we on the listed predictions, and where did he put us now? Looking into the next eight years before you look to the past 8 years of draconian rule is so bias that it goes beyond the pale. Hillary will do just fine.
