This is like putting the fox in charge of the Hen House. Bad idea...

[QuestionEveryone]

It's a scandal waiting to happen..how did Obama allow himself to get snookered into this.

[riverhouse]

Hillary and Holder are going to sail through their hearings. There are the nutcake couple or three GOPers who will try to be insulting, but Hillary and Holder are so vastly superior in intelligence that the nutters won't get far. You watch and see. It's a no brainer for those two.

[westcoastsc]

I think there will be more Democrats than Republicans against her. They control her. Just look at her voting record.

[QuestionEveryone]

Insulting...have you looked at the foriegn countries who have been banking Bill? Even Arabs who are pretty bad characters..I could only accept this appointment if Bill agrees not to take any foriegn funds or funds from Companies that do business overseas.

[bluemike]

As soon as her senate seat is filled, my hope is that Obama will find some way to remove this unfortunate choice from American politics. People I know, everyone who mentions her, do not trust this woman.

[CaveatMagnusFrater]

Most of us don't have an Uncle Dad and Aunt Mom. Therefore we're not the people you know who do not trust her.

[nycboy]

The ONE GREAT thing that will stand out about Obama's first term is his choice of Sec of State.

Hillary is strong and decisive and is not afriad to be stern with Israel.

She would have made a better President but Sec of State will show a lot of her talents.

Give em Hill!

[gruyere6]

better president than whom? mccain? palin? mike gravel? come on. she would have desgtroyed the office.

The Republicans love the Clintons because they discovered everything they did wrong and forced them to their bidding, abandoning their progressive agenda and suddenly supporting things like NAFTA, Glass-Steagle, and the communications act that allowed the media to be monopolized and is a part of the problem as to why the public is not getting the news it needs. Ken Starr looked so disappointed when he got the order that he could not go after them with all the evidence they had. One day Starr was saying that the case was very hot, the next there was no case. One day the Clintons had a progressive agenda, the next day they did not. One day people were making all kinds of accusations, the next day it stopped, and the Clintons all of a sudden had a Republican agenda. Amazing how the hardcore Republicans came out of the woodwork to support Hillary. Clinton was the first president to pardon a brother or a friend and it happened to be both for d rugs. Remember that Mark Rich's wife made a substantial donation to the library after the pardon of her husband.

[thecanadian]

Am afraid we do not trust Clinton. 65% of Canadians support Obama. See Clinton = manipulative

[blueskybigstar]

I agree with the New York Times. Hillary and Bill are crooked to the bone.

These are very good sites where you will learn everything you want to know about the Clintons. The Republicans know all this stuff. That is how they control them.

[Independent voter]

Most American's that I know don't trust the Clintons either.

[riverhouse]

I think the GOP in the last election made a collective decision that Hillary Clinton would be beatable in the election and Obama was probably not. I think Hillary Clinton will be an excellent Secretary of State. She's smart, people around the world respect her, and she has the toughness it takes.

[ruscle]

Landmines -- no problem. She can dodge sniper fire too, if necessary!

[dreffein]

That's so funny. Like the story Obama told about the circumstances of his birth (totally false). Let's all move forward. We have a Democratic president and congress - let's get something done rather than sniping at one another.

[Chandidevi]

She should have never been selected for this role. She is too emotionally unstable and unethical to carry on as Secretary of State.

[PoliticalAmazon]

I agree, except taht she is not emotionally unstable.

I don't believe the Clintons will put aside their obsessive goal of Hillary in the Oval Office in 2012. Obama seems to believe that he can control them, and keep them from undermining him to better position Hillary in 2012. I think this is his arrogance showing because no one can control the Clintons.

[diamondgirl9]

Nearly every post you make you refer to Obama as arrogant. You can say uppity because that's what you mean. As far as Hillary-she works for him,and if she goes rogue-she can be dimissed.

[QuestionEveryone]

Well maybe he believes in keeping your enemies close...and maybe hope that a scandal presents itself and she'll have to get out of government.

[dreffein]

And you know this how? Provide one FACT (not your Clinton-hating opinion) to prove that she is emotionally unstable or unethical. Seriously - given that she's been fully vetted by Ken Starr, the voters of NY and the Obama transition team, I'd love to hear the secret facts that only you seem to know but can't articulate.

[gruyere6]

didn't she tell enough lies, use enough underhanded tactics in the debate, and mis allocate her campaign budget, conceal her taxes and Bill's finances to get you to question her ethics just a little bit? how about her knee-jerk (emphasis on jerk) support of Bush on the war?

[Opt1musPr1me]

All hype. Hillary will be confirmed in a few blinks.

[timberdoodle]

Unfortunately the Repubs are well out to sea in modern day needs and politics. If they keep promoting the ideology that got the U.S. into it's present mess their support will likely go down to around 30% which would just be the hard core hawks and religious fanatics all of whom have no concern about their country only their own agendas.

[nolabels]

Unfortunately, there will be no issues.

[Maezeppa]

The inflammatory headline is misleading and annoying. Hillary Clinton is a talented and brilliant woman. It will be fine.

[blueskybigstar]

Who has been fined nearly 40,000 dollars for fraud discovered in a suit against her that has been languishing in court since 2003 because of Clinton appointed judges who should recuse themselves.

[Independent voter]

Was it the talent that caused Hillary to think that she brought peace to Northern Ireland?
Was it the brilliance that let her see sniper fire in Bosnia?
Was it her good character that made her purge Vincent Foster's office?

Hillary is many things, but talented and brilliant don't come to the tip of my tongue.

[Anciano]

Here's a detailed chart of the political connections of the Clintons in Arkansas and beyond. If any of this comes up in the hearings it will be interesting to say the least. Why is Barack stooping to this level? He can do better...maybe the whole thing is just a sop to her supporters and he has someone truly qualified that will be substituted after she fails the test.
http://www.prorev/connex.htm
"- Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson [would later testify] under oath, according to *The London Sunday Telegraph*, that he and other officers "discussed repeatedly in Clinton's presence" the "large quantities of drugs being flown into the Mena airport, large quantities of money, large quantities of guns," indicating that Clinton may have known much more about Seal's activities than he has admitted.
Whitewater fails to file corporate tax returns for this year.
James Riady resigns as president of Worthen Bank.
Clinton is reelected governor.
Roger Clinton is paroled.
1987
According to the McDougals, the Whitewater files are transferred to the Clintons. In the 1992 campaign, the Clintons will say they can not find the records.
Clinton gives Arkansas Traveler awards to Contra operatives Adolpho and Mario Calero and John Singlaub.

Send this to change.gov.

Don't forget about his best friend Dan Lasater whom he pardoned for distributing. Don't forget that Bill was hospitalized at least once for a hole developed between his nostrils, a common injury of users.

for some reason I was blocked from going to your site.

[blueskybigstar]

I had to rewrite the site's name. Then it says there is malware. I guess they put that on the site, but I have an unusual computer so I took the risk. Thanks.

[4real]

People are just looking for drama. The Repubs will make themselves look s t u p i d if they appear to put up a fight when none is necessary. With all the problems this country is facing they better get on board and try to come up with some solutions and contribute to the rebuilding of this country. Otherwise they will go down again.

[HumeSkeptic]

From the article:

Barring a bombshell revelation, all sides expect Clinton to be speedily confirmed as secretary of state.
-----------

And the headline says:"Hillary Clinton Confirmation Hearing: Landmines Ahead"

At Politico, they should decide what they want to say, before they write articles.
