It's practically official, folks. Hillary Rodham Clinton will be our new SoS!!!!!
I'm so excited I'm having trouble expressing myself. As a previous Hillary supporter turned Obama activist, I'm feeling even happier about Obama than I was after he was elected.
I see such great things for them as a team. The world is finally going in the right direction.
<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.</p>
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.>
