| 853435 | 2010-01-29 16:32:00 | Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she does not see herself remaining the country's top diplomat for a full eight years if President Obama is re-elected and asks her to stay on. Her remarks came in response to a question on The Tavis Smiley Show as to whether she can imagine remaining secretary of state for a second four years. Says Clinton: " No, I really can't. I mean it is just ... the whole eight. I mean that would be very challenging. It's a 24/7 job and I think at some point I will be very happy to pass it on to someone else." Can you define the word: "No-way!" ? |

| 853439 | 2010-01-30 04:14:00 | So what the ??? is the "Tavis Smiley Show" anyway? And what's she doing answering questions like that? Isn't she next in line for the Presidency after the VP and Speaker? She's demeaning the office of Secretary of State by her actions. :annoyed: | WalOne (4202) | ||

The Tavis Smiley Show is a talk radio program on Public Radio International. |

For that I understand she gets an additional US$200,000. When added to stipends, she's earning much more than the Pres ... This interview shows her attitude is close to biting the hand that feeds her. Not attributes to replace the loyalty and ethics one would expect of a top diplomat. Bet the punters are now thinking she's best out of it. :( |

| 853443 | 2010-01-31 02:04:00 | She's not a member of the Senate, Robert C. Byrd is President pro tem of the Senate. The Vice Pres is President of the Senate. Wasn't she the senior senator for NY? Did she have to quit the Senate then to take on the Secretary's job? And give up the $200K pa rort as well? Poor Hillary, just as well as she's got Bill to fall back on to keep her in the manner to which she's become accustomed :crying Or may be, Bill has a thing about secretaries ... |

| 853444 | 2010-01-31 02:53:00 | Actually she's abandoning the sinking SS Obama. You'll see all the rats in the superstructure trying to distance themselves from him now. He lost a lot of face with the Massachusetts Democrat loss to a Republican freshman. It bodes badly for him and his party now. Her claiming being tired of an odious and arduous job should be read very carefully betwixt the lines. |
