According to Livesteez, Obama may have Hillary Clinton as a ‘yes person’:

Senator Hillary Clinton is among the candidates President-elect Barack Obama is considering for secretary of state, U.S. media reports say.Democratic officials have indicated that the former first lady is on Mr. Obama’s list of candidates for the post. Senator Clinton lost to Mr. Obama in the Democratic presidential primary after a long and often bitter race.When asked earlier this week if she would take a position in the Obama administration, Clinton said that she was happy being in the U.S. Senate, but said she wants to be “a good partner” to the new president.

The race was nasty with her and Slick Willie throwing up race. Perhaps bygones will be bygones after all. What do Bossipers think?

Check out the entire Livesteez Article.

    Livesteez article.

    not really a reliable source.

    but if it is…*passes out*

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    Obama is propping her up for a Presidential run in 2016.

  • PURPPLE

    O God now the country is really going to hell in a handbasket…

  • Marquis de Sade

    Obama Woman

    It’s reliable. They were discussing this on Fox News and CNN this morning. Trust me, this has some heat.

  • oshie’s husband

    good choice!!!she’s got the skills and she is very experienced!!

  • Sawyer

    Its a smart move. She is a figure head around the world and who better to deal with foreign issues than her as Secretary of State. Obama is a political and tactical genius.

  • BeReal

    I think this would be a good move for Obama and Hilary, they will make a good team. Let by gones be by gones – shows you Obama is the bigger person. If he can forgive her why can’t we?

    @ Athena,

    Calm down luv, a Black woman president? Not right now.

  • sepia830

    Nooooooooooooooo, don’t do it! Come on, who doesn’t think (knowing the Clintons) that she didn’t request a position of some kind in exchange for campaigning for Obama? The Clintons are sneaky and can’t be trusted. Obama, please pick somebody else.

  • Ms. C.

    All is fair in love, war and politics! Their adversarial history is history.

  • http://ladyd-thecommonsensus.blogspot.com/ Lady D

    Absolutely…why not join forces. Hillary still isn’t #1.

  • shar

    Can you imagine it, Hilary will be telling Obama that, “When we were in the Whitehouse, Bill used to do things such-and-such-a-way”. Like when you get a new job and your assistant throws your predecessor in your face(figuratively speaking).

    As for Bill, he’ll be hustling for a job supervising the interns-haha.

  • Lacombe Redbone (You So Krazy!!)

    Oh My GOOdness! I love me sum Obama! Hillary…wut, wuuuut!!!

  • eveinthegarden

    I really dont think Hill is going to take it. The Dems are SO pressed about getting this 60 seat majority in the house, unless she can keep her Senate seat AND be the SOS she wont leave her seat. She’s so passionate about getting the healthcare through too… I just think its a bone to throw the MSM off the track.

    I hope O picks Richardson. It would be a sign to the Latinos that he recognizes how they came through for him and Richardson took MAJOR heat for endorsing O when it wasnt popular.

  • No, seriously

    Nooooooooooooooo, don’t do it! Come on, who doesn’t think (knowing the Clintons) that she didn’t request a position of some kind in exchange for campaigning for Obama? The Clintons are sneaky and can’t be trusted. Obama, please pick somebody else.

    ————————————

    I hate to bring it up, but if there were ever an assasination attempt on Obama, I would blame the Clintons before the KKK. I’m just saying…

  • justmoi

    I think it would be a good idea to fill the post with Hilary, I would be excited to see these to work together to get America back on track.

  • Somer

    I think she would be good for the job because she already have a relationship with many world leaders. They respect her & think highly of her. On the other hand after this election blindsided her, I don’t know if she would be totally loyal to Obama. 8yrs from now she will be to old to run. Every year you have a new set of new teenagers eligable to vote. I truly think the days of electing elderly white folks are over.

  • eveinthegarden

    I meant 60 seat majority in the SENATE…mybad.

  • eveinthegarden

    @ somer~ I think she’d be good too but part of that ‘relationship’ with world leaders is through Billy and his ‘questionable’ foreign leader dealings. Everytime she goes somewhere the media will be asking ‘did Bill go? Did Bill talk to them too? What did they talk about when the cameras were off?” They are a political headache.

  • DDub

    It’s definitely the buzz of the blogs. If it happens I can’t see her trying to sabotage the presidency for the simple fact that we are at war and doing piss poor economically and really do face serious national security risks. She would stand to gain more by helping guide America back into the number one slot in the world.

    You all have to remember this is a historic election and will be a big part of the history books. Anybody apart of this administration stands to become part of that history and legacy is ultimately the biggest driving factor for people in power.

  • DDub

    @ eveinthegarden

    Her seat is less of an issue being that New York is unabashedly democratic. And keep in mind that Patterson is Governor and Democrat and would appoint another democrat to take her seat.

    They won’t get 60 without including Lieberman anyway.

  • b-nice

  • b-nice

    Lieberman needs to get the boot, because he has never going to vote with the democrats anyway. He is a useless damaged politician, I can’t wait for him to be up for election after running with a republican, in the state of connecticut. That state is a democrat state they will not elect him into office ever again.

    If true, this will be an excellent way for Obama to have a close knowledge of a former President’s foreign policy experience and expertise.

    Hillary can gain valuable internationl and foreign policy experience.

    Win-Win!!

    Politics makes strange bedfellows……..You don’t have to trust someone or love them to have a meaningful relationship; politicians, crooks and prostitutes do it every day.

    I really don’t see a problem with this. The only issue I can foresee is losing the senate seat. She is knowledgeable and respected to a certain degree.

    Great point! I admire Bill Richardson, even more so after he stepped out to endorse President Elect Obama so boldly. What better way to unite the country, than to put him in that position. Also, I don’t think Hillary would be able to keep her Senate seat, but I believe the Gov of NY would be the person to select someone to fill her vacancy. (Amateur guess…)

  • Redd Tony aka Earth Sign “When everybody thinks alike, nobody is really thinking”

    WASHINGTON (AFP) – Anyone who wants one of the dizzying array of jobs in president-elect Barack Obama’s administration had better be ready to lay bare their most closely-guarded secrets.

    Applicants for government posts must respond to an exhaustive seven-page questionnaire probing deep into hidden corners of their personal and professional lives as well as those of their spouses and grown children.

    What may be the most detailed burrowing ever into the background of potential government employees appears to be a bid by Obama’s team to avoid personnel scandals that have plagued other presidential transitions.

    Aides say the questionnaire, first reported by The New York Times, is in keeping with the president-elect’s campaign promise to purge Washington of seamy influence peddling.

    Transgressions like tax problems, criminal convictions, business snafus or membership in clubs which bar members due to race or gender could be a problem for potential nominees, if the questionnaire is to be believed.

    Internet indiscretions may also bar someone from one of the thousands of jobs in the federal government turning over with the new administration.

    “If you have ever sent an electronic communication, including but, not limited to an email, text message or instant message that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect if it were made public, please describe.”

    Potential applicants are also asked to detail every speech, newspaper column or blog post they have written and must even provide the URL of any websites in which they feature including Facebook or MySpace.

  • eddiedollars215

    @redd… no they did… thats why they sealed ‘em… hahahahaha

  • eveinthegarden

    @ eddie~

    Berg filed a lawsuit in the Third Circuit, which means in a federal court somewhere in PA or NJ (seeking to require Obama to disclose the birth certificate). The Third Circuit denied that suit (on the basis that Berg doesn’t have standing). Berg applied to SCOTUS for a writ of cert — this just asks SCOTUS to take a look at the merits of the case that got dismissed in the lower court. SCOTUS gives Obama until Dec. 3 to respond to the application for a writ of cert. While SCOTUS is deciding whether to grant the writ and to then take a look at the merits (i.e., whether to decide if Obama has to produce the birth certificate), Berg files an application for an injunction — I assume an injunction to delay the election until Obama shows the birth certificate. That application is denied on Nov. 3 and the election continues. SCOTUS has not yet decided whether to grant the writ or not. By Dec. 3, Obama may or may not respond to the application for a writ of cert.

    In the Berg case, it is only after SCOTUS grants the writ of cert that SCOTUS will take up the issue of whether Obama has to produce the birth certificate. That’s the thing Berg is asking for, and right now that’s not even being considered by SCOTUS, they’re still on the issue of whether to take the case or not.

    In other words, they haven’t even decided whether to take the case.

    They will decide whether to dismiss the case first. If they don’t dismiss it, then they decide on whether he has to produce a certificate.

    They’ll dismiss it.

  • eddiedollars215

    @eve… for sure I just got done listening to berg on the radio… he said he has some motion on the tuck he can’t talk about (berg is up here in philly)… I know they don’t “have” to do anything… will barack be the next pres… in my opinion yes… my overall point is look for a amendment to the constitution allowing naturalized citizens to run for president… more globalization… I mean if you look at the facts there is no way Barack the israeli sock puppet is natural born…

    I believe this is the right thing to do. No other presidential candidate who ran and lost has ever campaigned for the defeator, even if she doesn’t accept it, he did the right thing. My focus is the top, but this looks good for her. Once again, Obama is a class act!

    You’re exactly right. The government is taking condemned and rundown buildings (a train station) and turning them into concentration camps and prisons supposedly for war on drugs. These buildings are fenced on all sides, topped with barbwire to keep people in, and not out. They also have electrically turn style doors, surveillance cameras, and helicopter markings indicating travel. This is definately for prison camps under military supervision. I heard Fema trailers are there as well, right?

    Redd Tony aka Earth Sign “When everybody thinks alike, nobody is really thinking”

    I didn’t know about the flags with yellow trim. The Capitus Diminutio maxima keeps you from having to be sued in court after you get the subpoena because your name is in all CAPS, right? If you decide to attend court, you are verbally agreeing to the artifical person that works for the company, and waiving your rights under the constitution.

    Oh yeah, thanks for the Latin names. I was trying to find them on the net.

    NoooooooOH!

    Now, I supported Hillary, but I would love to see Obama select from wothy unknowns to carve out his legacy.

    I can’t imagine her rolling up her sleeves to shake hands and make amends for us globally. Most of our allies have headed south because of Bush. Many of them want to head that way a long time ago because of our policies.

    I think he should rethink this, unless he believes that to get Bill he must seat Hillary. Hate to say that, but that’s what I believe.

    ABSOLUTELY!! I think she’s the right candidate for the job…..

  • AngelycAries

    She’s not qualified for the job. Isn’t her stick health care? Richardson should get the position, for he is qualified. And what is Kerry going to get? Didn’t he want the job as well? It was because of Kerry wanting Obama to speak at the DNC in ’04 that we were introduced to him. Come on, DON’T GIVE IT TO HILLARY!!!!!

  • liyah

    i think she should take the chance. she might feel bad cuz she didnt make it to be the democratic presidential candidate, but secretary of state should be an honor for her as well.
