Does this mean the PUMAs heads will explode? If so, I certainly hope someone puts the video up on You Tube.

I suppose instead of secretary, she'll want to be called Executive Administrative Assistant ;)

Ugh. Come on Obama. You're better than this.

This looks like bad news . . . for Obama!

Odd- no other media outlet is picking this up ? Seattlepi.com is reporting the Guardian' report, but no one else...no one else can confirm? CBS Evening News has nothing on the tube right now. CNN- nothing.....

Attention all Republicans. Begin the 2 minute hate.

You know, I haven't been too Clinton happy after the whole primary fiasco, but something deep down is saying that this is okay, perhaps even a little bit cool.

It also makes me realize that Obama is a better man than I am. Awesome.

 
Neeek [TotalFark] 2008-11-17 07:07:56 PM  
So Obama wants Hillary out of the country most of the time?

oh yeah, the fun boss with the liquid lunches. I liked him a whole lot better than the current boss.

You know I hadn't thought of it that way. Maybe there is a silver lining here.

When she comes to meetings at the White House, I hope Obama has the Secret Service make sure she isn't smuggling in her toothbrush and hair dryer.

Yeah, because when Clinton had the presidency it was just a disaster...

 
Knight without armor 2008-11-17 07:12:25 PM  
7:11pm CBS News broadcasting story about Bill's conflicts....nothing about Hill accepting

 
netweavr [TotalFark] 2008-11-17 07:12:27 PM  
Wouldn't doing this complete marginalize Hilliary's ability to actually inhibit Obama's policies and attempts at 'change?'

As in, she can't work against him now, or she just because his biatch?

Maybe he figures she'll draw sniper fire wherever she goes.

It's a trap.

Wait... who? What?


Errk: Change????

i'm not particularly an advocate for clinton as sec state, but i can't seem to remember when hillary clinton was sec state before, or in any such cabinet position before, so as to make her appointment something we've had before. could you fill me in?

In other words it ties her political fortunes to Obama's.

on a side note:

Sources on both sides said Obama did not offer McCain a cabinet job, but focused on how the senator for Arizona could help to guide through Congress legislation that they both strongly favour.

that was my prediction in that thread. hooray me for being right.

Unless Obama appoints a retarded albino mudlark it isn't change.

not a bad choice. I don't think she would take any shiat from these 3rd world dictators. But I do find this... hilarious somehow.

I can't think of a single Cabinet post where McCain would be the best person for the job. There's several he'd be competent, even good at, but there's better talent out there.

In other words, why take a four-star recruit because it would make you look good since he's a local guy, when instead you could bring in a five-star guy who'll make the whole team better.

Actually, he's not retarded, just Canadian.

I'd also like to point out that if this thing goes green, it's gonna explode with everyone from regular liters to alt trolls.

With respect to that, I'm getting some popcorn.

I checked the real reliable news sources:

FOXNews: California fires.
Redstate: GM.
Freeperville: Football.
LGF: The mainstream MSM media is in the thank for Obama.
Drudge: Link to the Guardian article. (No siren, but the 72pt red font is there!)

Hmm...

It also increases the odds of neocons suffering heart failure or debilitating brain aneurysms, which is good for America in the long run.

 
AZtoJapan [TotalFark] 2008-11-17 08:00:00 PM  
so all four newsflashes are from the same source and no other news organization is on it? i think we are jumping the gun a bit

All the people that come in to threads and spew some ridiculous comment about change and then laugh themselves in to hysterics...what the bloody f*ck is your definition of change?

I will add...it's funny seeing people that spent months talking about how Obama had no experience and was doomed to failure because he was a Washington Outsider are now, seemingly, railing on every little decision that involves surrounding himself with people with valuable experience.

Does the cognitive dissonance ever start to eat through your skin?
