Has it ever occurred to her that she is not overly liked by many in the world?

Her following Condi Rice is like following up a Filet Mignon with a hot dog made of by-products.

Nobody in her circle has the courage to tell her.

Nobody in her circle has the courage to tell her." Yeah, she does put that bit of fear in many.

I think just the prospect of her dropping by for a little chat to mediate a conflict should get a little compromising action going on way beforehand by almost all the world leaders.

I know I'd sure give in to a lot from the other side and try to hammer out a deal to avoid having her stopping by for tea to discuss it.

Obama-biden-clinton really being put to high gear via hamas wars,guantanamo,iraq woes,afghanistan-pakistan woes,economy woes and many others.

Must say GWB had it easier as economy woes was not so prominent during his rule.

Let's see how it goes from 1st month of new administrations. 1000 over JT readers or more ready to help Obama administration.

Criticisement against Obama policies ,also a much needed help via GOP supporters which is now the opposition. 70 percent gaves the thumbs down to GWB administration.

Let see how it goes on the with Obama holding the presidency handle on policies and change. It going to be changes from day one,for next 4 years,wth policies democrats like.

Big mistake giving Clinton this position. As I said some months ago, she is a bit too much of a drama queen for my taste. Case in point her "bravery under fire" in the former Yugoslavia (the airport at Sarajevo?). She also has enough political baggage to saddle 100 camels, perhaps she can get a discount the next time she goes to Saudi Arabia. Her hubby's foundation donors is just the tip of the cigar.

The again, choosing Clinton is merely a continuation of the tradition set by GW vis-a-vis America's diplomacy. Colin Powell had an understanding of how the world works (unfortunately he was sold down the river by his boss). But Condi Rice? For somebody who is allegedly so smart, she sure helped the administration drop the ball in the Middle East. What a dinosaur. Admittedly her Russian expertise would have come in handy if the USSR was streaming through the Fulda Gap, but she was clearly out of her depth in her handling of Middle East issues.

Anyway, I hope President elect Obama has second thoughts about Hillary, then again, keeping her in the cabinet will keep Hillary and Bill out of trouble. Perhaps she could be bought off with a posting to a 3rd World country or perhaps the Vatican.

the woman is a liar but she's worked hard in cultivating her public image that at least some of the public will never acknowledge her not so little integrity problems. good luck mr. obama you made a slamming choice. now we get to see what comes of it.

this is very reminicent to Cindy McCain's finances issue when her husband was running for office. Bill's business, as I sided with Cindy on the issue, shouldn't be questioned. She has her money, and he has his.

But, the Clintons have to be two of the smartest Americans. They got super rich just playing people.

Rahm's already sewn up the Minister for Drama Queens portfolio.

Clinton - either of them - is only interested in power and it's application. They are completely craven to their own personality cults. I don't know if Clinton will be a good Sec of State but I am sure she knows which side her bread is buttered on and will act accordingly. Still, it is somewhat upsetting to think that a feminist like Clinton will cave to the Saudis because they donated to Bill's fund. Now there is a real conflict of interest!
