Hillary to be Secretary of State

by murphy on November 21, 2008

in Hillary Clinton

From the NYT

“WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton has decided to give up her Senate seat and accept the position of secretary of state, making her the public face around the world for the administration of the man who beat her . . .” 

Are we going to have read crap like this for four years?

There are a lot of us who will have to live to be over 100 years old in order to see a woman as prez.
Maybe we should all plan on being together in the same “home’.
Instead of referring to each other as Mabel, or Ethel, or Harriet… we’ll be calling for Won’t, and Goof, Nobama, and taggles1, and PumaBear, and snowtiger, and kat in you hat…
best if we ride it out together, me thinks.

YES YES YES

Hillary as SOS.

I know I badmouthed the idea, but now that it looks like a done deal, I’m really excited.

NYT has the story on its blog, leaked by Hillary team, Obama team leaked that the official announcement will not be until after Thanksgiving.

Take that, Obot turkeys.

KarenWI 11.21.08 at 5:52 pm

It also galls me that the DNC knows very well if Obama is not a natural born citizen or not.. and they DON’T CARE! How are they going to make the laws if they can’t keep them themselves and don’t care about following the constitution and the laws? Don’t expect it to bother Obama one little bit to put his hand on the Bible and swear before God to uphold the constitution when he knows he isn’t a natural born citizen and is still taking “the oath”! Of course, if he IS a natural born citizen, they the big question is why doesn’t he just shut everyone up and PROVE it?

cate 11.21.08 at 5:55 pm

I think by accepting she has accepted that she will never be President. There is no way she could challenge him in 2012 and live to tell of it. If he popped off, maybe. But, he won’t. Only the good die young. The next President will probably be a Republican. This is the highest office that will be offered to her. I’m thinking Senate Majority leader must have been too high – and Nancy probably wouldn’t go along with that, after all Nancy must be the most powerful woman in DC.

TerryDo 11.21.08 at 5:59 pm

If Senator Clinton has decided that, she will accept the Secretary of State position, I sincerely hope that she has placed a guarantee/or condition, stipulating that she can NOT be fired, until Obama’s mandate of (4) four years has been completed.
If she has not, that is not good, not good at all!!!

17

lilibet 11.21.08 at 5:59 pm

Nancy hasn’t got anything to say about what happens in the Senate, though Reid does. However, Hillary is well liked in the Senate as she is known for “crossing the aisle” to get things done.

18

cjv 11.21.08 at 6:00 pm

About HRC taking SOS. No I don’t like it either. But I wonder if there is more than what meets the eye with the environment within the NYS government and her. I began wondering when NYS totally crossed over for the support for the ‘other one’ prior to the convention and threw her under the bus, so to speak as a NYS senator, Is her career any good in my state (NY) although she can work autonomously? I am quite sure she and a#$hole Schumer were generally always fighting on issues. I wonder if we will ever get any insight on this. Whatever is going on, I still don’t think it’s good she accepted. She’s may be caught between a rock and a hard place.
And if Kirsten Gillibrand doesn’t get the Senate appointment as the Senate replacement, I will be really pissed.

indy 11.21.08 at 6:02 pm

I have a question: Wasn’t Obama the one who said Hillary used poor judgment, time and time again, because she voted for the war?

Another question: So if Hillary has such poor judgment in world affairs, why does he name her SOS?

What a lying hypocrite!

TerryDo 11.21.08 at 6:05 pm

As far as the picture posted above goes, I imagine what Hillary is thinking;

I’d love to see the faces of Putin, Medvedev, Ahmadinejad, Hamas, bin Laden, et al., when they heard Hill Gal is going to go head to head with them. Hillary 1 – Adversaries 0

As much as I trust America in her hands as SOS, for her personally, I don’t think she should have accepted it. She should have run for governor or stayed in the Senate.

If it is true, I want Bill as her replacement in the Senate.

24

KarenWI 11.21.08 at 6:08 pm

TerryDo, I really doubt if she CAN have such a stipulation, nor if Obama would ever consent to having one like that. I, personally, think she’s setting herself up to be effectively “gotten rid of” this way. I rather doubt if she’ll have the post for a full 4 years…. that is, if America is even around that long! I still have this dread that WWIII nuclear is going to happen with Obama at the helm… and us on the side of the Islamic nations who have been our enemies…..

25

KarenWI 11.21.08 at 6:10 pm

Don’t have the illusion that if Hillary gets SOS she will be going “head to head” with the other countries on HER terms… she will be going as HIS representative and will have to be HIS mouthpiece. Don’t forget that..

If Hillary has really accepted to be the US SOS, let’s give her a little slack. She is perfectly aware of all the ramifications of accepting such a position in an Obama administration. IF THIS IS HER CHOICE, and she is happy with it, then I am going to be happy for her and wish her well.

Oh lilibet!

If I could wish her well also! I have to admit, I have been selfish as she has been a great asset for New York State. Had it gone well the idea of her leave the Senate post for POTUS went well for me, but I struggle with leaving for SOS. Thus I hope the Govenernor appoints my next favorite choice (there are four names being brought out right now on the news, Gillibrand being one of them).

Murphy, You’re so right. Nothing is based on reality, honesty or common sense. Obama is the latest flavor of the month.

I told my children all the time when they were growing up – “Life is not fair, but you must play fair.” Now I don’t know if I should have taught them that. There’s no more level playing field. Today it’s “Do unto them, before they do unto you.” I wanted my children to grow up with integrity. But it’s those that haven’t any integrity that get ahead. The whole world is upside down. Life’s more unfair than it’s ever been.

GOSUEF4HIL 11.21.08 at 6:24 pm

My take on HRC as SOS:

I hate the fact that she is “under” Nobie- but- the one thing for which I am hopeful- is that she brokered this deal with him before she went out stumping for him. If this was on her terms, then so be it.

Far be it from me to give her career advice- I for one would have flipped him the bird long ago but that is why I don’t work in politics (doesn’t sound like any of us are ass-kissers and you have to do a fair amount of that).

Plus- I think Nobie must be scared shitless no that he realizes what a shit hole the economy is in- and he doesn’t have a clue how to change it.

Hopefully- Hillary’s destiny is in her hands- if that is the case, we should all be thankful.

I know I’m late on this but I have a suggestion for Rancho regarding thanksgiving with the Obo lovers:

Place an empty jar (might need a few of them) as a centrepiece on the table, Put a Puma pic on each jar. Everytime someone says an accomplishment, supposed truth or compliments Bo, but can’t support it with proof, they have to pay 1.00 to the jars.

If that doesn’t shut them up, try duct tape, get the silver roll, lasts longer. :)

Then tell them you’re thankful either for their money or their silence. Hey, if you go the duct tape rout it means more turkey for you :P

indy 11.21.08 at 6:34 pm

karenWI #25 – I think one of the reasons Obama asked her to be SOS, besides keeping her out of contention for POTUS, is because he knows she is one of the US’ best minds on foreign affairs. During the debates it was evident he was clueless in foreign affairs. When he named Biden VP, he even stressed Biden’s experience in foreign affairs. Obama knows his shortcomings although he doesn’t broadcast it. I think she’ll be more than his mouthpiece. He needs her.

New Orleans, I think you are right. She will be his “excuse” when things go bad… and then he can conveniently fire her and it would not only be “cover” for HIS blunders, but it would also neatly get her out of the way permanently…. Nijma, you don’t think the POTUS can’t do what they want when it comes to foreign relations? Look at our current president and tell me he doesn’t have a LOT of power to do what he wants that way….

I agree with you GOSUEF4HIL , the ex-President and ex-First Lady/Senator of New York, are not stupid leaders and they did not just enter the political arena, as a matter of fact, I am sure they invented some of the pages in the political playbook.
So, I believe they know and can see any future traps and have either finessed around them, or have made allowances for any possible future political manuvours.

If Senator Clinton has accepted to be the Secretary of State for America, then I wish her and America well and good luck!

zephyr 11.21.08 at 6:50 pm

Am trying to find a silver lining in this Hillary as SOS scenario. OK… the “messiah” stole the primaries from her and then succeeded in frauding the American public into voting for him. So what chance would she have in running in 2012?…zilch. By the time 2016 rolls around, the now 10 year olds will be able to vote….more than likely she will be considered “old”…and I hate to say that because I am just a year younger than Hillary. She may not want to pursue another
bid for the presidency as it’s a pretty arduous task to campaign nonstop for two years. It’s been mentioned already that she doesn’t have all that much clout in the Senate and she wouldn’t be able to apsire to a big committee position or Senate majority leader.

So where is the silver lining? I think she will do the SOS job with wisdom, grace and honor for our country. Lots of eyes will be focused on HER rather than Theonewhothinkshefooledus. I don’t know what his motives are for doing this but he ends up being the fool in my eyes. Lots of Obots will not like this. That is a plus. Hillary is a strong and powerful woman and political figure and I feel safer knowing that she is in that position. I think of it as a safeguard between nobo’s team and the world.

63

cjv 11.21.08 at 6:56 pm

One thing I hope we do, assuming she that she accepts the SOS position as been reported is at least be vigilant with the media and fight back if this occurs. Condi Rice never,as far as I can recall, ever really got a bad rap for anything. Both the good (what little) and the bad was generally directed (in the end anyway)towards Bush.

HRC was destroyed by the media. The media made the vote for this election. We didn’t. Nobody but the media decided the election. Will they continue in their destruction of her? I will be curious to see what these jokers and poor excuse for journalists intend to do when reporting on HRC’s missions assuming she accepts this post.

If Hillary is SecState, do you think she can help women around the globe? Do you think she will give input and win negotiating power with leaders on gender equality and decency in other countries?

It’s one of the big reasons I wanted her for President. I thought that she would be able to make an impact on helping women and girls on a global scale. Also, I was very excited about “green collar” jobs, and so much more.

Well, Hillary as SOS is not a surprise. I agree with what zephyr 11.21.08 at 6:50 pm said about the situation. It’s a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that she will be 4th in line to the Presidency behind the VP, Speaker of the House, and the Ranking Senator (currently Byrd).

SOS is a job that comes with a huge responsibility. I think that she will do a great job. I still don’t like that she will be in That One’s Administation though.

My boyfriend said he would lose respect for Hillary if she did that, “after everything Obama did,” and I don’t really know what to say because I am not IN politics. Hillary may feel that she would have a lot more power as SecState, and not as much in the Senate, and she would have an inside on the WH, and maybe she can help shape the administration better if she is in that position.

Plus, it’s kind of funny that the media and many obots, plus some republicans thought they got rid of the Clinton’s, and Hillary being SecState would shut all that down.

Course, she could be the fallgirl for a lot of bad foreign policy decisions the O team wants.

AniEm 11.21.08 at 7:14 pm

I agree. I feel more secure with Senator Clinton as SOS to counteract Obama’s cluelessness — and everyone is well aware of that, including Obama. This is a time of international crisis and I would prefer a level-headed adult in charge. Hillary can be trusted to work in the best interests of her country. Obama, like Nixon, Reagan, Bush II, comes across as a weak president the staff will have to “work around”.

76

Headclunker 11.21.08 at 7:15 pm

Hey, we had an Obama demonstration here in West Palm Beach, Fl this evening. The local Hatians had quite a scene here (all peacful) and they are demonstrating to tell Obama to talk to Bush about their immigration status. Apparently things are really bad there and they do not want to go back. They consider it an emergency situation and want BO to do something.

I wish them luck.

Country profile: Haiti

“Haiti promised much as the world’s first black-led republic and the first Caribbean state to achieve independence.

But decades of poverty, environmental degradation, violence, instability and dictatorship have left it as the poorest nation in the Americas.

A mostly mountainous country with a tropical climate, Haiti’s location, history and culture – epitomised by voodoo, with its music, drumming and dancing – once made it a potential tourist hot spot. Instability and violence, especially since the 1980s, have all but killed off that prospect.”

Real winners have integrity. Who wants to be king of the hill when it is a pile of $#it? With real success you do not have to sacrifice your morals, values and principals.

My Brother is one of the Wall Street Boys. He is brilliant, with an IQ over the top. He can make piles of money. Some of the family actually refers to him as the “money machine”. And he even helped me out when I was in a tight spot, so, mind you, I am not claiming any higher moral ground. And so I will not go into details but that I would much rather be me, living paycheck to paycheck. My wealth is in what I have done with my life and what I have brought to this world, not what I take.

You cannot judge your insides by other peoples outsides.

Why do we have to wait until after thanksgiving for O to announce her as SOS? Why is Hillary saying she accepted before O confirms he chose her?

I NEED an answer. So thanks in advance to anyone one who can answer this logically.

91

slyt2 11.21.08 at 7:51 pm

Taggles that link you provided earlier about him not saying much on the don’t ask don’t tell on the side bar it said she hasn’t decided yet.This came from her top adviser that Hillary herself isn’t sure if she wants it or not. Now I also heard on fox this morning it will be decided/announced after thanksgiving but I am holding out hope it will not be her. I can find that link again if you want.

92

GoPumaGo 11.21.08 at 7:52 pm

if she took this she may as well have taken the VP spot. I wrote to her begging her to not take the SOS job. But then again Obama will not be President. I hope she does not vacate her spot before it is too late.

I read somewhere that there is a video of Obama debating during his run for the Senate that he says he is not a natural born citizen but that he is not running for President. They are looking for the video. hope someone can find it.

I believe the Leo Donofrio lawsuit which is now at the SCOUS will wind up declaring Obama as not eligible. I expect to see Hillary get the Presidency. But who knows. still a gamble.

WOW. I hate to differ but I agree with lilibet,
“IF THIS IS HER CHOICE, and she is happy with it, then I am going to be happy for her and wish her well,” right on.

Also from what I’ve read, Hillary wasn’t real thrilled w/the way her fellow senators treated her upon her return, and asked to be on some committees (I forget the details) but wasn’t given an answer because she’s still considered a newbie by senate standards. So she hasn’t been real happy there since she got back.

Let’s wait & see how this plays out…

p.s. katinyourhat, NewOrleans, snowtiger, everyone: I was in Atlanta all week for a conference, and got to get together w/antifish & Queen98. We had a great time, & I will have to come back later & tell you about it! ;D

GoPumaGo 11.21.08 at 7:54 pm

It’s official — Senator and Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has accepted the position of Secretary of State in the Barack Obama administration. This, along with Obama’s selection of New York Fed President Timothy Geithner–former Treasury Department official under President Bill Clinton–for Treasury Secretary, and it is apparent that “change” translates into “bring back old Clinton acquaintances.” Furthermore, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has been selected for Secretary of Commerce. All must now undergo the nomination process.

In terms of soon-to-be Secretary Clinton, as I wrote a few days ago, this looks to be a good political move for all involved. In Clinton, Obama gains the perception of credibility and legitimacy–albeit superficial as it may be–with regard to his foreign policy, and effectively neuters his primary in-party rival for 2012. In her new position, Clinton ditches a position as junior senator and gains a high-profile job where she can bolster and hone her own foreign policy bona fides in advance of her own White House run.

Now, what to do with Hillary’s husband?

taggles1 11.21.08 at 7:57 pm

Thanks sly. I heard this morning on Morning Joe that Andrea Mitchell broke the story last night that Hillary will accept SOS. But that O would not confirm until after thanksgiving.

Why would Hillary accept before she knew for sure that Obama was going to confirm it. He is obviously not confirming it. Why wait until after Thanksgiving?

She very well may be chosen and accept SOS. But I must be missing something here, my logic is failing.

Also, are Luke and Laura still on GH?

97

kat in your hat 11.21.08 at 8:01 pm

Let’s all not worry or get too excited about Hillary as SecState until we hear the words yes/ no out of her mouth.

98

slyt2 11.21.08 at 8:03 pm

Well Luke is on but Laura left again I was sad , luke is married to Tracy.

I heard more or less same thing on fox and friends you did but I am holding out that her top adviser is telling the truth and saying it is not a done deal and she isn’t sure yet.I am sure I am fooling myself but

99

taggles1 11.21.08 at 8:06 pm

I am ambivalent about it. I think that way because I support Hillary in what she thinks is best for herself. I don’t feel let down about it because in doing what’s best for herself, she’ll be doing what’s good for us.

100

slyt2 11.21.08 at 8:09 pm

I guess I have more of a negative then positive Taggles only because i don;t see what good she would be doing for us like she would still in the Senate ( i hope that makes sense).

CNN and AP: Obama to Nominate Hillary as Secretary of State after Thanksgiving

President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state after Thanksgiving, an aide to his transition said Thursday. – AP

This is what I’ve been waiting for today. President-elect Obama stepping up through his transition team to announce the news on the day WJC handed over 200,000 names, but also agreed to substantial compromises on his global work, which obviously went a long way to letting the Obama-Biden team feel more confident about the arrangement, assuring that no conflicts of interest between WJC and the woman President-elect Obama wants as his secretary of state would occur going forward.

CNN reported this story earlier tonight. Jessica Yellen and Ed Henry confirmed the story.

President-elect Obama is on track to nominate Sen. Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state after Thanksgiving, three aides on Obama’s transition team told CNN Thursday.

As has been the case all along, Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines repeated a statement that “any and all speculation about Cabinet or other administration appointments is for President-Elect Obama’s transition team to address.”

The cacophony around the bogus stories, the leaking from people with a “predilection for leaking things” likely pushed this announcement and details of when forward. Traditional and new media regurgitating whatever they’re told from anonymous sources, sucking anything coming their way up through a straw. I’ll let Digby say the rest for me this time.

Whether or not you love or hate the Clintons this behavior should be upsetting. (I will remind everyone that there was a time when the media loved them some Clinton too — until they turned.) But there is something truly sick about a political system in which the press plays a key role as insiders while pretending to be innocent bystanders — and uses its power to create scandals and gin up controversies about politicians it doesn’t like and then blames the politicians for the terrible coverage.

Letting everyone know that this will come after Thanksgiving was important, because the roar right before the holiday if Obama and Clinton hadn’t come forward would have caused the press to go into a collective seisure. Uncertainty causing a problem, with so many important appointments still to come.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will finally get the job I believe not only suits her talents, intellectual prowess and political star power, but will also give President-elect Obama the best person at State he could possibly have in these very troubled times. It’s as official as it’s going to get until after Thanksgiving.

Now- I am off to Book club where there are just a few Obots- everyone else in Republican but I am trying to get them to the PUMA side!

Hasta manana commrades

GOSUEF4HIL 11.21.08 at 8:16 pm

My thought on why Obie waiting until after Thanksgiving? Less news focus on her, he can’t stand it to be outshined by her- w/ everyone busy shopping (oh wait, we don’t have any money) well anyway- I still think that is why. He is a moron.

OK, I am really late now, bye

104

taggles1 11.21.08 at 8:20 pm

why won’t he confirm it NOW?

I love Old Grumpy Guy, lol, I really do. He abhors Obots and I like the way he thinks (politically). If anyone likes classical music, he has a new video:

Because maybe he can’t confirm it now because she hasn’t accepted YET.. Has anyone heard out of her mouth YET that she is talking the job?? Granted i have not been watching any news today (since this morning) but have you even heard a word out of his mouth yet has anybody or is this just “sources saying it’s a done deal? I truely don’t know because I am not watching but all I know is some journalist are reporting it to be true doesn’t always make it true.

Personally i think his people are running around putting out the “word” that she has been accepted by BO to be SOS and even though today she said she isn’t sure yet, it’s still getting put out there by “his people” so if or when she turns it down she will look like the ungrateful bitch because he offered her the job, he wanted her and she turned it down. Even though he damn well knows she is still trying to make up her mind. Or I could be totally wrong and they are drinking on it right now that she is joining his CULT opps mean crew.

A few hours ago, as I was flipping channels, I caught a clip of Bush walking across the lawn to Marine 1 with Condi Rice and some other guy following along a few paces behind him.

My take on Hill at SOS …

This is a GREAT position for her … and very bad for him. This sets Hillary up for a run against him … we all probably agree that BO WILL be a terrible POTUS. I hope I’m wrong but my gut tells me I’m right. Sooooo, the more BO starts to stink, the country will turn against him and then Hill will be prime to run in a primary against him.

Good Evening PUMAs …

I’m thinking that Uncle Teddy would love to see his niece, Caroline take Hillary’s seat in the Senate.

So much of this makes so LITTLE sense. I wish she would just stay in the Senate where she will do the most good and not have to put up with any of their shit. True, she may be slighted by her peers, because of the a**kissing that is customary, but I think in time she will regain their trust and respect – after all, THAT ONE is probably not going to be POTUS for more than one term.

Murphy, I agree with lilibet – we should prowl Hillary to stay where she is.

JMHO

“RE: Tape needed!
If your one of those that downloads youtube ,you maybe sitting on something that is of the utmost importance…
it’s a youtube that we think was named “what Obama doesn’t want you to know”…….
It was a side view of an Obama -Keyes debate 2004… it was the number 2 debate…it was shot from Keyes side and Obama was in the background…
As they were going on break Keyes said to Obama ” your not even a natural born citizen “… Obama says ” Oh that’s ok i’m not running for president anyway i’m running for senator. If you think you saw that and or downloaded on you pc… it is needed by the Mr. Keyes attorney…
It wasn’t a media tape it was tape by an individual. They said if you watched it might be on your hard drive… that i would have no idea…
contact me and ill get it to them.”

In my opinion, I think Hillary will shine as SOS, and Obama will disappear in her shadow. He has serious problems to deal with, and he will be blamed for all that goes wrong with the economy. Pelosi and Reid will not help him, when the going gets rough (and it will) they will wimp out, just as they wimped out with Bush after 2006. Biden will not help him, he will be off in never-never land. And who says that she can’t run for President again? Especially if she has truly made a name for herself as a great SOS, and Obama’s star has faded with the economic crisis and failed promises to the Obots. Lots of things can happen in 4 years. And if he fires her (she resigns), she can always run for governor, or run for the senate again.

NobamaNetwork 11.21.08 at 9:50 pm

How can Hillary as SOS and Bill with his Clinton In. not be a conflict of interest? What would make Hillary want to be under the thumb of Ovomit? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Thanks for telling me. I haven’t been lurking or posting regularly these past few weeks… since the GE, I must have missed them.

The way THAT ONE is pushing and pulling (mainly his crap) is infuriating…I just can’t see her so closely aligned with him after all he’s put her through. I can’t seem to make any sense of what is motivating her to continue to do this sick dance with him… There has to be something sinister lurking in the background that cannot be revealed … WHATEVER!!!

Mary Puma Oh i have no doubt she would be great at whatever she did but really in the last 4 years how often did you see Rice (can’t spell her first name sorry) I don’t think she could out shine him in that spot. As far as her running for president again the media all said if she takes this job she will not run again her run for president is over even dick morris said that , that is why he said he didn’t believe she would take the job because she wants to run again. I don’t know if it’s true or not but they said anyone who has ever had a important position like that with the president (except for VP) does not try to run for president.

bellecat 11.21.08 at 10:01 pm

This my 5 cents (yeah! 5 instead of 2; I’m expensive.

I did not want HRC get involved in the IMPOSTOR’s administration. She could be more effective against him and his politics in the Senate.
However, since the Natural Born eligibility is finally becoming an issue since Clerance Thomas has set a SCOTUS conference for December the 5th; and the BOBO may have to step down, I believe behind the scenes manuevering, having HRC as the SOS, makes her the most elegible to step in as POTUS after Joe Biden.

I’m not getting my hopes up too much about the birth certificate. Obama seems to have gotten everybody to just “fall in line” behind him and SOMEHOW be “the teflon man” all along. I just can’t see how this is going to get very far, now that he has (supposdly) so many millions of people wanting him for POTUS. I think that because it’s gotten this far, and he (apparently) is wanted by a huge number of Americans, “the powers that be” are going to probably leave well enough alone and let it be… I hope with all my heart I’m wrong, though…

Jenni – you only get so mad and hurt and protective because you love her so much – so don’t forget WHY you love her so much . She is smart . Whatever her reasons , she knows what she is doing . She has weighed the consequences and made the decision that she thinks is best – whatever that decisison may be .
I am sick with the same visuals you are having – her following him and taking orders from him – but it doesn’t change the fact that – no matter what Sen. Clinton is doing , we are still fighting for what WE believe in . We are still Pumas and we still have a whole lot of hell to raise .
If we dwell on what Hillary is doing , it only makes us angry and sad . We can’t controll what she does so we have to let it go and be ‘present’ . Don’t let your pain and anger feed them . Use all of that incredible energy you have to fight ! Puma luv 2 you

Hillary isn’t an Obot. She’s a political machine and will do what she thinks is best for her and the country. So IF she becomes SOS it isn’t because she’s “drinking kool-aid”.

Libby, just as an example, how many of his old-time “friends” did he “throw under the bus” during the primary and general election? A couple dozen? Strangely enough, though, in spite of getting thrown under the bus, most of them have come to him wagging their tails and licking his hand (or whatever) now that he’s “won” (so to speak)…. No, he has shown us he has no qualms about throwing someone out the window if they aren’t to HIS personal advantage right at the moment. And that’s what scares me about Hillary being “under” him…

turndownobama 11.21.08 at 10:28 pm

If anyone wants more heartening views of Hillary as SOS (not that it’s confirmed yet sfiak), there are a lot of comments over at http://www.hillaryis44.org/?p=785#comment-223456 seeing it in a world context and seeing Hillary foxing him big time.

Imo, with all the support for her that’s coming out, world leaders and stock market and the Clinton Restoration cabinet, I’m beginning to see possibilities. She won’t be all alone up there as a token flunkey. With all this support she can say just about anything she wants to and Obama has to go along (“I agree with Hillary”) or look silly, or fire her and look silly….

If she has just made a deal with the Gov of NY to appoint someone to keep her Senate seat warm for a while to see how this works out….

207

mick 11.21.08 at 10:28 pm

I really think that Hillary is putting our country first by taking on the SOS position. I think she knows better than anybody that Dear Leader is very weak in foreign policy … so IF she accepts SOS, it will NOT be to serve BO but to serve us, … the United States, … to help protect our interest in the world, … lets face it our enemies see how weak our economy is right now, and we are very venerable. Hillary can do much more for the U.S. in a powerful position like SOS than as Senator.

I mean, think about it … she is putting country first.

208

mountainsong 11.21.08 at 10:30 pm

As far as her being SOS, I’d like to know how she got past MO.
Am I the only one who feels like she is missing something here? I think I’m more uptight about this auto industry thing. They already got a $25 billion loan. Did they already spend that?
And, for all practical purposes, the last 20 years or so, we’ve really been outsourcing auto manufacturing to Honda, Toyota, Datsun, VW, Mercedes, etc.
It’s all BS.
I can’t stand CNN, but I read that,yesterday, CNN asked a poll question, “Do you believe EITHER Bush or Obama have the answers to the economic problems. The response was 88% said NO to both of them.
So obviously, our whole gov’t/financial system/big business is just milkin it for all they can get before it all goes Bust and ‘we the people’ are left groveling in Destitution.

215

slyt2 11.21.08 at 10:36 pm

Now I was absent that day TT when we had the civics class so my question teacher is why if BO was disqualified would Biden become president? I only ask this because he wasn’t elected by the people he was asked by BO to be his running mate and he isn’t the VP yet (not swore in). Wouldn’t by all rights if BO was found to be a fraud or disqualified shouldn’t by all rights McCain get to be since he was like runner up or even better yet Hillary and McCain have a reelection (a girl can dream can’t she)

John Podesta, as transition chief; Gore’s counsel, Lisa Brown, as staff secretary; and Gore’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, as Biden’s chief of staff. Boy, it’s a good thing Hillary didn’t get elected; she would have just given us a recycled version of the Clinton administration.” — Howie Kurtz

I had an ah-ha moment after discussing the election with my 20 year old niece who voted for Obama btw.

OK…don’t go bleeech until you’ve heard me out.

We have been living on credit cards both symbolically and literally for a couple of decades. At some point the piper is gonna come calling. My niece’s generation is going to be called upon to “give up”….give up is a primary concept here…give up the idea their life is all about them. The piper needs to be paid if we are to continue as a semblence of the nation of our history.

We who came of age in the 80’s and 90’s didn’t really have to give up anything in pursuit of our destiny. They will.

So in order to create this order there must be a very effective bullypulpit to get the masses of young people to fall in line…much like the 1940’s. The Greatest Generation was very much propelled by propaganda which fed the willingness to sacrifice self for the “greater good”. Many young people gave up their dreams because the greater good required it.

Obama is a bullypulpit. An instrument of propaganda that is the most effective of the lot for that purpose. It’s about the power of the bullypulpit. Not about any of our highter and more complex concerns.

My thoughts….

Fwiw, in 1992 didn’t Bill Clinton say the then-current generation would have to sacrifice like none other? Then we all said “No way” and he said “I feel your pain” and then he thought harder and asked smart Treasury people (like Summers, Rubin, etc) to come up with a better idea and they all did and turned the biggest deficit into the biggest surplus with no pain. (Except the fat cats impeaching him.)

I do believe the “globalization” of the world economic markets has made the US economy less reactive to Washington. I also believe inflation and rising debt has created a situation today that has no parallel in the 1990’s. I would like to believe solid incentive from Washington alone will get us out of this mess…but I have my doubts.

Hey, for the record, no one on PUMA pissed me off, I just had to go and get some air.

I can’t leave the country because I work and help my family. I can’t leave PUMA because this is where my brain lives and a lot of my heart, and I can’t help but agree with MOUNTAINSONG on just about every frickin’ thing.

I do not see anything good, but I am not giving up. I called Sarah Palin during our prowl last week and told her I would quit my job and work for her the day she says she will run; I agree with her on what counts AND she is a truth teller and she is a woman. If I can’t have everything I will take what the best that is out there.

I am tired of it all though. To be smart and a woman and aware is a burden God never wrote about, because all JOB had to bear was locusts and such….

I am praying for a Supreme Court save. I am praying for other things too. I am just too sad tonight. and mad. and frustrated. and tired. and I can’t stop thinking about the story the PUMA person posted about their 3 legged kitty that suffered for 3 days bec. she ran out of pain medicine and I just can’t stop crying about that…

I’m going to go lay down with my rescued cats/angels and pray that whenever an animal is hurt, god takes them to heaven so they don’t feel the pain…not even for s second. and may we all be animals…

The new president constrained? Of course he will be constrained. The first thing he’s gonna do (after getting his drapes up) is say ‘now, where is the money so we can do all of this stuff we promised before the elections’. And guess what, the money’s gone.

Big Dawg spent his whole first term paying down Bush’s debt, and this time the debt’s a lot higher. But he has to pay it down becasue the economy is on the brink of disaster, just like Texas after Dubya left that place.

If That One wants to accomplish anything, he’s gonna need money, and to get money he needs congress–they control the purse strings. That One will take off like a rocket once he’s in office but he won’t get far with no money.

Your Republican is showing! You’re too funny!

I think Hillary is tired of the Senate. Bill would be bored stiff arguing with all those people.

I agree if she takes SOS it will be to do a good job, but it will all be in the name of BO-OR she will pay! The far left hates her, the far right hates her, and now the Obot Dem Party has abandoned her.
She’s probably trying to figure out how to stay relevant.
I’m with Mountainsong, it’s sad.

MURPHY . . AND PUMA FRIENDS!

Thank you ALL for bringing forth much levity, humor, and well thought out “words of wisdom” to a very sensitive time. I just got home . . .very long day, and week. (I had my last parent conference, concluding a week of conferencing, and went to buy “stuff” for our dinner for 20.) I am trying to get through ALL of the threads with replies to my question, including “How to deal with visiting OBOTS!” I’m still reading and it will probably take me all night! I’m overwhelmed with the time you all gave and creativity of your responses. You made my day! LOVE the quiz, Murphy. I can’t imagine I’m the only one dealing with the OBOT/Thanksgiving issue so I hope many received much from this! The Obots are family members . . my mother, my brother, my DAUGHTER, and her boyfriend. My mother will be the hardest . . she won’t shut up. She just called and said “Well, you should be HAPPY now that your Hillary is going to be SOS. Maybe you’ll leave Obama alone now! Sheeeeesh! Welp, going back to my “blog reading” for the evening!

Thanks again, all! You’re wonderful!

Sarah Palin is the only one I like so far: just plain talk, fiscal common sense and honesty. As she continues to govern Alaska she may re-emerge as a great leader, if the media can get past her looks.

Nijma 11.21.08 at 11:47 pm

Why is everyone so depressed? Does anyone here really think Hillary doesn’t know what she’s getting into? That she isn’t politically seasoned?

That’s why we were willing to vote for her and work for her. We believe she is that caliber.

Remember what Hillary said–if you hear the dogs, keep going. I can almost hear Murphy’s voice repeating that now in front of the television screen in Denver. Does any Puma here believe that Hillary does NOT hear the dogs, that she does not know the danger she is in? But what does she do? She is a risk taker, a party loyalist, and a patriot. She cannot help herself; she will keep going. I should have such interesting times when I am that age.

Who can see the future? If it’s time for a new chapter in Hillary’s life, so be it.

May there be a happy ending in it for all of us.

===========================

The Clinton budget of the 90s was legit, I lived through it applauding. I’m no number cruncher to know the details. But it was something about paying down the National Debt so as to get out of all the interest they were paying just keeping up the payments on it.

Like, if you have a bunch of credit cards with balances and the monthly payments are mostly going to keep up the interest. If you can pay OFF even one card’s balance, then you aren’t paying that interest any more. So you can use that cash to pay off ANOTHER card’s balance. So it sort of snowballs.

Anyway it took some really smart economists to figure out the details, Summers and others.

Libby 11.22.08 at 12:40 am

The reason Bill Clinton had such a favorable economic situation was because of the Internet. When the Internet went from being something available only to government and higher education, then the WWW turned the Internet into something that everyone could use, not just computer experts, it wildly exploded a new industry which included a huge demand for computers and a new basis for business.

That is why Bill Clinton was able to leave a positive economy. New businesses were bursting at the seam, along with those people who had money throwing money into any new internet business that looked like a money maker. People made fortunes in less than a year.

The internet boom led to the housing market boom.

Acorn jumped in and tried to get an advantage. They stuck their fingers into every pie to get money and good favor from those who were making money.

People and businesses thought that the internet boom would go on forever.

Acorn brought about the downfall of the housing market, financial markets, and the economy.

Good business practices disappeared in favor of everyone trying to get another dollar from an economy that didn’t have real money.

There is only one way Obama gets out of this and ends up like the Clinton presidency…another new boom business. Otherwise, it is socialism at best.

turndownobama 11.22.08 at 1:16 am

Libby,

Here is a graph showing the economy improving as soon as Bill Clinton took office (and reversing as soon as he left).

Do you really think that the internet expansion exactly coincided with those dates (and that Bill’s policies weren’t part of the CAUSE of the internet expansion)? Establishment of the major ‘dot coms’ should be easy to date, if you care to support your assertion.

Yesterday I wrote to Senator Clinton and asked her to remain in the Senate, because us little people need her voice there now, more than ever. With her gone, who will champion the social programs? I came to believe, though, that may be part of a deal she made with the now president-elect: “If I stump for you, I want a job in your administration.”

Maybe, maybe not. I do know that I have seen more than enough of the country and our politicians going in exactly the opposite direction that seems wisest to me. The end of this administration will make 12 years, and who knows how many more after that?

I think I’m pretty much through with politics. Those who need to listen are not, and I’m tired of screaming down an empty well.

284

Delle 11.22.08 at 6:33 am

To those of you who think this is the end of Hillary’s political career – fear not. It may be just the beginning.

The Clintons are wise people.

I have a feeling that Hillary will be waiting in the wings when Obama screws up badly in his first term.

She will then resign her position and pull an RFK. Meaning that she will challenge Obama for the presidency in 2012.

It might take a year or two to realize it, but I really believe this is her plan.

I’m not going to do anymore than you did because your chart proves what I said.

The Internet up and down period happened during the dates that your chart shows the upturn and downturn in the economy.

Do your own homework. I did mine already. Lived it, charted it, and watched it all go down. Research is for those who do not believe because they need proof. I’ve done my research and have all the proof I need.

Me telling you so will not convince you. The research is simple for those who did not notice it or live it at the time.

Go to one of the sites that has historic stock prices such as Yahoo. Set it for the dates during Clinton’s time in office. Then choose several internet companies and chart their stocks. You will also notice that if you chart “real goods” that they went up and down as people poured money into the internet stocks. Many internet built companies came and went during the Clinton Administration. The “real goods” companies did less well during the same time period.

President Clinton was the beneficiary of a lot of people’s good ideas that came about because of the decision to change the Internet to the WWW and make it available to the public and the world at large.

In case you would like to look into the history of the Internet, it has been around since the 1960’s but was only available to University’s and the government. But you can to back and research the earliest papers written about the internet when it was known that it could be used for everything that it is today. Somehow that took 30 years to actually happen.

The reason Google and Microsoft have donated more money to Obama than anyone else is because they want to keep their world vision and they think Obama will do that for them. They do not fight to be on top for fun. They have their reasons.

Major companies force, or encourage strongly, their employees to back a candidate with their own earnings from the company for one reason…the company want to guarantee that their workers have a commitment to the same cause that the company has and that the individual workers have a financial reason to stay committed…FOR THEIR JOBS.

It is not by chance that Obama wants people to not be able to join a union unless they are going to have their vote watched. Who do you think that helps?

Try Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Google.

I’m in a Union. My dues were bought and paid for by the lover of Jon Corzine who also represented our Union. To say the least, we have paid for this lovers union. Corzine also gave all of the NJ delegates that should have gone to Hillary Clinton, to Obama. Hillary won NJ and our governor could have cared less when he was at the DNC. So why do I expect Corzine or Obama to represent any vote of the people or any vote of a union. They are both liars.

You want to look at the entire history, it is all out there for anyone who cares to look it up.

Internet up and down happened during the Clinton Presidency.

They do not fight to be on top for fun. They have their reasons. Microsoft wants to control every computer and Google wants to control all information resources.

There is a very thin string that keeps this from happening and an Obama presidency might break that string. ACORN ruined the housing market. Yet excuses are made for them and Obama’s role in that. Excuses are made for the governments role in that. Excuses are made for the lending institutions role in that. But it was Acorn who broke the walls down.

Voting rights? Acorn broke that also. Rights turned into abuse. Abuse became the accepted norm. Who did Obama tie into right from the start? Acorn. What did they use? The Internet and banks. Who did they influence? Congress, banks and poor people. Who got money to fund Acorn? Obama, Ayers, Congress. Who benefited from Acorn? Obama, Ayers, Wright, Congress.

Internet up and down happened during the Clinton Presidency. The abuse of the Internet for politics began after Bill left office. The abject lose of civil discourse on the internet happened once Obama began using it for his Presidential run for office. He had a lot of help on that and he is in the tank for those who are in the tank for him. If I were him, I’d cut and run. But since he has no conscious, he will not.

If he is lucky, he will wake up and realize what he has done and try to be a real president. I am not hopeful but for the sake of our country, I hope anyway.

We can argue all we want but it would be time better spent if we would lay down the actual history of events in our own lifetime.
