There will be a female Secretary of State after all: According to the Guardian, Hillary Clinton was offered and has accepted the Secretary of State cabinet post, which opens up a whole new can of worms, not to mention a Senate seat in our current state of residence.
Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state
offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build
a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned.
Obama's
advisers have begun looking into Bill Clinton's foundation, which
distributes millions of dollars to Africa to help with development, to
ensure that there is no conflict of interest. But Democrats do not
believe that the vetting is likely to be a problem.
Clinton would
be well placed to become the country's dominant voice in foreign
affairs, replacing Condoleezza Rice. Since being elected senator for
New York, she has specialised in foreign affairs and defence. Although
she supported the war in Iraq, she and Obama basically agree on a
withdrawal of American troops.
