S.O.S. Hillary as Secretary of State?

The press and blogosphere are a-buzz with the prospect of Hillary accepting the job of Secretary of State under the Obama administration. The notion that she is so ready-and-willing to accept the job is rumored to be inaccurate based on one Clinton insider.

“A lot of the speculation and reporting is out ahead of the facts here,” said the insider, who requested anonymity. “She is still weighing this, independent of President Clinton’s work.”

The press has been touting that as soon as the Obama hounds are done sniffing through Billy’s financial records . . . a formal proposal will be made.

While she says she is “Torn” between her life of public service (cough cough - BS) and the position of Secretary of State, she has still received welcoming remarks from the likes of Henry Kissinger and her own love bug of a husband . . . Bill Clinton.

Here is our prediction:

#1 - Clinton will be offered a secretary of state position and this has been the plan since Hillary and Obama’s secret fire side chat before the primaries were over.

#2 - Clinton will accept this job with “humility” and grace; after all she knows she is not going to run for president in 2012. Her eyes are already set on 2016. . .

#3 - Mark Cuban will be abducted by Aliens (just checking to see if you’re reading this far down).

Regardless, it’s not a done deal yet, but one can’t discount the seriousness of the “buzz” considering how hard Mr. President Elect Obama staff is digging through financial records.

If the offer does come, do we really think she’s going to turn it down?
