Barack Obama Names Hillary Clinton Secretary of State
Monday December 1, 2008
 JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images President-elect Barack Obama named Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state Monday in Chicago. "I am proud that she will be our next Secretary of State," he said in a press conference. Clinton, who currently serves as New York's junior senator, said she was looking forward to the chance to shape the future of the U.S. during the war on terror. "America cannot solve these crises without the world and the world cannot solve them without America," she said Clinton added: "I believe that best way to help serve my country is to join President-elect Obama. Mr. President-elect, I’m proud to join you in what will be a difficult and exciting adventure." The current Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, praised Clinton from London earlier Monday. "I know that she will bring enormous energy and intellect and skill to the position,” she said, adding that Clinton had a "deep love for the United States of America." "I am very fond of her. She has worked very hard on behalf of the country," Rice added. Obama and Clinton competed against each other for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton withdrew from the primary race in June after receiving 18 million votes. See Obama's own election night photos.

Just ignore the CPA/attorney posts ... It's been on every one of these that I have read today. Someone just has nothing better to do than see if they can distract everyone from what they are really trying to discuss.

A puppet President indeed.

1:55 PM Anonymous Says: He isn't President-Elect until Jan. 6 (possibly Jan 8 if they moved it back) after the 24 Electors' votes are counted (they vote Dec. 15 for who they want to be President, which could be anyone they want, but it's usually who won the Nov. 4 vote). Also, there is no such thing as the Office of the President-Elect according to the Constitution, so he is standing in front of a make-believe sign. He holds no authority until he is sworn in on Jan. 20. ________________________________________________________________________ This sounds like something a guy would say!!! Call him whatever you want, on Jan. 20th make sure you call him President Obama. __________________________ There is plenty of other things to call him and it's not a President.

He and everyone else are very well aware that he has no authority until January 20th. However he does have to be informed as to what is going on now, and he has to make decisions such as picking his cabinet now. There is intense pressure on him to hit the ground running once sworn in, he has quite a mess to clean up and needs to be ready to roll as soon as the ceremony concludes on January 20th. _____________________________________ BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... Get over it!!

My man left his first wife for me and he could not be happier : Some women are so desperate for attention. People would confidence would not need to tell the world how they stole someone else's husband.

My, my, my....I guess I would do not feel threatened since I am have CPA license and is a Corporate Attorney, 30 years old, tall and slim and yes I am a very attractive West Indian woman. I guess I have no jealousies toward other women who are successful and talented. It is not my fault that my husband of 5 years left his wife and chased me around, until I gave in. Sorry that your man cheated on you and left you for someone obivioulsy younger and prettier, as a CPA and a coprorate attorney I don't have that problem, just goes to show that you haven't made your man happy!!!
