    Hillary would be a asset to President Obama. She is an intelligent lady and her intelligence should be utilized.

    She needs to stand up and be herself, not Obama's puppet.

      The Clintons are a living soap opera. With all the challenges the new President will have, he doesn't need their three-ring circus, too.

      For the reasons stated in the article - she would be better being her own boss rather than working for the President.

          If Hilary takes the position it will bring on more havic than good, 2 bulls butting heads constantly, that's not needed in the white house.

          She is brilliant, cool headed and what the country needs for a secretary of state.

            She would represent the U.S. in a very positive manner. However, I think a better choice would be Bill Richardson - better credentials.

            I have high hopes for an israeli-palestinian resolution and a safer middle east if she takes the job.

              Work for herself? That is the problem with our elected/appointed officals, they work for the people all of the people. Not themselves!

                I prefer that she stay involved with health care, but if State Dept. is where she is needed, then do it. Presidential requests are serious.

                Obama is supposed to be about change. Where is the change with Clinton or Richardson?

                  of course, its a win win for her. she gets to add that title to her resume when she runs for Pres in 2012. !

                    There is too much baggage. Bill and Hill have not always been ethical and why bring that into an inspirational new start?

                    When the President of the United States asks you to do something then you do it. Like, Hillary will you please forgive me?

                    Hillary Clinton would be a superb Secretary of State and she would actually get things done!

                    She has more power to serve as Senator given she's the power hunger and opportunist.
