				 if he hires Hilary Clinton 
 to be secretary of state over Bill Richardson 
than yes....he's a total idiot...
 
i mean look at  Bill R  and  he almost looks like an ARAB 
with that little goatee he's sportin lately....
 
Hilary would only infuriate the Arabs to no end... 
(or any other world leader and or diplomat)
 
unless that's Baraks true intention to sick Hilary on them     
(red rover,red rover send Hilary over)
 
but  at the moment i am very scared  
of the havoc she'd create in that position... BIGTIME    |

				 | Hill won't be pushing our God over theirs. Remember that the World loved the Clintons, Bushes, not so much. Bill R is a good man, but not as S of S. |

				 good point 
 i think that when Bill Richardson demanded that all information relating to Roswell and the cover up 
be turned over to the public in a full disclosure 
he pissed off the wrong people.....   
Hillary "is"  a Bulldog.....   and is undoubtedly as tough  
a negotiator as the Job requires....  it's just that 
she's been known to  power trip a bit to much... |

				 | BHO's true motive and strategy in putting Hillary on his team is far too transparent for the Clintons to fall for. |

				 | I think she would be a smart pick. She'll give Obama cover on centrist or more hardline policy, she's respected abroad and very tough.

				 | I dont like this idea. Not to knock Hillary, but bringing in hillary doesn't say CHANGE to me...She will do a great job, but she will not help ending the polarization of America's people. |

 |  I'm not remembering whom it was Spence... 
just that when she was over their doing her job 
they blew her off and didn't even show up.... 
~ 
i'll have to look for that...     granted she has confidence and power...   no question there, 
but just by being female she creates tensions 
and they (certain leaders)  
 don't want to be talked down to 
by a woman...  
 
Bill Richardson on the other hand puts them all at ease |

				 | Sex schmex - jesus, at least the Dems affairs are heterosexual and the GOP...well...    
Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that - it's still pretty much a free country regardless of Bush's best efforts.
 
Honestly, in my lifetime the rule on political scandals has always seemed to be:
 
- If it's a Democrat, it's sex,
 
- And if it's a Republican, it's fraud, thievery, chicanery, abuse of power and an all out assault on the rights granted to us by the Constitution. 
 
Sex always seems to be secondary at best to members of the GOP. Gotta be a WASP thing, I dunno, we've never had a Republican in the wood-pile in my family so I wouldn't really know    |

 that would be one thing....
 
 but going over there they have more clout and attitude.

I guess it's the hypocrisy issue for me - many of these Republicans who were outted by being caught in the act had previously taken very strong stances against that behavior    |
