For Secretary of State...I say Hillary or Bill Richardson. My pick is Richardson as he has been the SOS under the Big Dog before so that brings a lot of experience to the table. Plus Hillary will do better to stay in her Senate seat and keep a Democratic majority in the Senate.

And for McCain? I would rather let him have Secretary of the NAVY. At least he can go out a Navy man like his father and grandfather, but with a distinction: Since he didnt make Admiral like Daddy and Grandaddy did. That civilian post has more power than a full Admiral so JSM III can finally top both of them and not have the rank of Admiral. The only people he would be subject to is the Secretary of Defense and President Obama.

An advantage of the McCain appointment to the Secretary of Navy is that if he resigns his Senate seat, AZ's Dem governor can appoint a Dem to take McCain's seat should the Chambliss win the GA Senate runoff in December or Al Franken lose recount in Minnesota.

Trust me President Obama's a tricky chess player thinking 5 moves ahead :)

That's true. Obama quits senator. "Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) has said he will appoint a replacement senator by the end of the year." is that mean Rod take Obama's seat of senator?

I've done some thinking about this and feel exactly the same way. I hope and pray that Obama doesn't appoint McCain to this position.

Me too.

I think it's not good idea to offer McCain the job position thru his temper history and also viatoated the rules as well.


I hope Hillary Clinton takes Obama's offer to be his secretary of state.

McCain, IMO, he might be a good in military background but there are few great people with strong military background. I highly strong against John McCain but I am not neither Dem or Rep. Few country out of USA dislikes him that much but if Obama have someone else that is new face to other people in ohter country and might be able to get along as long as it doesn't conflicted with us. That is IMO. But if Obama prefers to pick him or Hilary Clinton. Wait and see what happen. I just dont want to go through like JFK era.

I think it would be not good idea to offer McCain the job position due his military experience... The reason is his temper history and violate Army rules in the past .
 
Does anyone know if Obama has appointed Hillary or McCain as Secretary of State yet? I haven't been able to watch the news to find out for myself.
 
i watched cnn tonight and they said that hillary is facing scrutiny and criticism over her possible appointment as secretary of state.

still, i think obama should pick hillary.

oh, that's a close call for me. i think i'd pick cheney over mccain because mccain has too much of a hot temper for my liking.

To tell the truth, I'd trust neither of them very much when it comes to triggars. I'll say this much for McCain, he hasn't shot his own lawyer yet.

I think Hillary would be an excellent choice for Secretary of State given her extensive background in politics and familiarity with the job position. She also knows how to negotiate which can be an added plus when it comes to foreign affairs. I hope she gets the nomination.
