No,no,no....don't do it...it will end up biting you in the back.....pick someone else....Bill Richardson would be a better choice

On the assumption that Hillary Clinton does become the Secretary of State how about a story on the possibility of Chelsea Clinton trying to win the vacated Senate seat from NY. Chelsea Clinton is well educated and lives and works in NY for a while now and those
New Yorkers who love Hillary and have supported her as their Senator probably would elect Chelsea.

It's important for Obama to make decisions that allow him to execute his ideas, and that means you need people with experience, one thing he is shy on. Just because your people know their way around the city, doesn't mean you can't eat at the newest restaurant in town. You just get there faster!

I think that Obama should look more closely at the possiblity of naming Bill Richardson for the position, instead. There's always been undertowings from Hillary Clinton's camp, so this may continue to happen throughout the 4 years.

whoever Pres. Obama appoints in becoming the Sec. of Homeland Security and the Dept. of State may save the great purpose of granting a law to reunite former LPR relative of USC who hav been deported for petty offenses. Let discirmination be overcome completely and bring family together.

God bless America! Racial decsrimination to fully end as well as gender wise. May Mrs. Hilary Clinton work together with the newly elected President Barack Obama.During my stay in US I have proven her great public service as a First Lady. May changes be made in Immigration and Dept of state.

Hillary Clinton cannot say much yet because the transition team has to examine Bill Clinton's list of donors and Bill Clinton has just recently agreed to all the conditions and now it is for the Obama camp and more specifically Obama to make the decision about making an announcement.

Obama would be LUCKY to have a social servant like Hillary on his team.

Ace, NYC,

In my very humble opinion, if President-elect Obama cannot work with Senator Clinton, he should not have her on his team. He already has enough challenges to deal with. He might be building a team of rivals, he should not be building a team that will implode.

Kelvin C, London,

Obama won on a message of change, yet he is considering Clinton, a party hack from a bygone era. His supporters couldn’t be angrier.

Give her a deadline and decide. I vote for Bill Richardson-no diva drama there.

Drama is a synonym for Hillary. It does not go away. So use it to your advantage. Everyone loves drama, let's be clear on that! Let the show begin!

I think the important point raised is that the Obama team is now evolving from a family business to a multi-national. During the campaign there was no doubt single minded loyality to the candidate; now there is ethically cause for dual loyalty: to the public and to the president elect.

Muhammed Kamil, Khartoum, Sudan

i dont think its as simple as being or not being the Secretary of State. if she does accept and the financial crisis continues for the Obama's term, it will destroy her career. It also looks like there is war in the US's future(look at the markets) . now maybe people know why she hasnt accepted yet!

Rahim, Vancouver, Canada

Let Richardson & Clinton debate, and voters call in their vote for either. What Bill discolosed is ok, but I'd vote against Hilary- If she's too proud to say she'd be honored to take job if it was offered, she doesn't deserve it.

Joe Gobble, Phoenixville, pa

I am really sick and tired of everything that goes wrong for Obama being blamed on Hillary. The Obama people create drama for themselves and then try to blame it on others. It's like anyone who criticizes Obama is a racist. He was never the knight in shining armor that everyone thought he was!

Deborah, San Francisco,

I am really sick and fed up now of the Clintons. President-elect Barack Obama, you don't need this drama! Ditch the Clintons and move on forward. They will bring you down to their nasty tired level. Change we can believe in DOES NOT include Hillary and Bill Clinton! Bill Richardson for S.O.State!

Jimmy C, Letchworth Garden City, UK

Oh, please! The media makes drama where none exists. Is it more difficult for someone of Hillary's stature and that of her husband, the former president, to blend easily into a transition to the Obama administration? Yes, it is. Deal with it. She's the right person for the job. She's brilliant
