Hillary Clinton has said “yes” to the position of Secretary of State, we’ve been hearing about it for days, today it appears to be official.  So that means that Bill and Hillary will be back in Washington…and some are saying the Obama team has the potential of looking a lot like the Clinton team.

The New York Times was first to confirm the news, and it’s spreading from there.

What will her responsibilities be?  Generally a Secretary of the State to the President does the following:

•  They work with foreign countries to bring about treaties, and agreements when necessary
• They inform the Congress and people on foreign relations.
• They help form and maintain friendly relationships, promote economic trade and maintain peace with other nations around the world.
• They serve as the President’s advisor on matters that relate to foreign policy.
• They are the ones that meet with and talk with foreign leaders and officials.

For even more information, here is a link to a book on Google Book Search entitled “Duties and Responsibilities of the Secretary of State“.

Is it going to look a lot like a Clinton White House by the time Obama finishes choosing his cabinet? We shall see!

I just finished watching the video honoring Hillary preceding her speech, and wow, after the build up today, it really is all about her tonight. The video brought all the memories and feelings back of her campaign, I don’t know how those who voted for her, and still want her to be the Democratic Candidate can come away not being recharged. There’s Bill, in tears in the audience, and saying “I love you”, the applause is not stopping!

It’s a bit hard to read Michelle Obama, she stands to applaud each time the mention of uniting the party is given, but I haven’t seen a smile yet. Ah, there it is, she smiled at “Barack Obama is my candidate”. Now it’s back to “you and me”, focusing on herself. Oh my, is it ever about herself, all the “I will always remember…..” memories from her campaign. Then back to Barack. I guess you could say she’s flip-flopping back and forth between promoting Barack, and herself. Well I suppose she has a right, she did win many, many delegates, and even if I don’t agree with everything, she is a gifted speaker.

Well I’m going to take in the rest of the speech now, and we’ll see how tomorrow night goes…will the 100’s of Clinton supporters that are outside the Pepsi Center holding Hillary signs and saying vote McCain cause a little trouble during the delegate count? Stay tuned…this is getting fun! Oh, the hubby-into-politics I’m married to? He went to bed, has to get up early, and will listen to the details tomorrow on Rush Limbaugh.

One more thing, hubby had a few good laughs at the following video…lines from Hillary that just keep on giving if you’re a Republican:
