Hillary is brilliant, but I do not favor her as Secretary of State. She has been too pro-Israel, when the Obama Administration needs to promote justice for the Palestinians. That is where the terrorist threat first emerged. It was initially caused by USA's unlimited finincial, military and diplomatic support for Israel and disregard for the sufferings of the Palestinian people, who are both Muslim and Christian. We actually can do a favor for Israel by forcing it to withdraw from the West Bank, by making it compensate Palestinians for their property loses, and by helping to set up a viable Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. I worry that with Hillary, Rahm Emanuel, etc., at his elbow, Obama may not have the courage to insist on this. AIPAC is mighty powerful and the American people have been propagandized to think of the Palestinians as terrorists, while what they want is simple justice. They had nothing to do with the holocaust but have paid a heavy price for it.

I have never see such blatant and outright discrimination and racism as I have seen here in these comments! I thought we were all for "CHANGE". I thought we all wanted the races to COME TOGETHER? WE are the ones dividing ourselves, and then you wonder why others look down on us!!!??
Put racism aside and lets stop burying out heads and stop the "Woe Me" crap!
HILLARY CLINTON is the absolute best candidate for this position. She was there next to President Clinton for 8 years in the White House and probably has more inside knowledge than ANYONE on the new team Obama has picked.
Hillary Clinton was the BEST CHOICE. She is an intelligent and articulate woman who is NOT afraid to go up against the Big Old Boys!!!
So suck up your anger, suck up your racism and let this woman help out country get back on it's feet!
If you just continue to bash Hillary Clinton, we are just sending a big message to everyone out there that whites need not apply and that is wrong!!!

Hilary is an extremely intelligent politician, she is strong, decisive and very diplomatic. She would make an excellent Secretary of State and I applaud Obama for recognizing this. Obama is extremely intelligent, and I trust his judgement on this one. People make Hilary out to be a major bitch, she is just a strong woman, not a bitch, she knows her politics.

I can understand why you guys are saying, but I think that obama made a right choice to appoint hillary as secrectary. I think hillary would lead us good this time. It is not that she doesn't do anything for us, but I do think that there is reason why obama elect hillary as secrectary. I think that obama is trusting enough for her to handle this job. I think obama has Good ability to use his opponent to secure our country. I maybe wrong, but lets see what will happen next.

Hillary had the Hispanic vote to Bargain with, and just like Blacks, Hispanics have a slave mentality. That is why if it was up to Hispanics Obama would have lost the primaries. Whites and Blacks reinforcement won Obama the primaries. Hillary threatened Brown wall did not quite have the power she expected. However after Hillary conceded she directed her slaves to go Obama way, now Obama owes her and Hispanics the world. Hispanics naturally feel they should be above Blacks because it is the America way, to get above Blacks as soon as you enter the country even if you are illegal. So hispanics are demanding immediate appointments from Obama in Housing, Education, Commerce. While Blacks slave votes demands nothing. Hispanics will look out for hispanics once they are in position, and they will increase their political power expotentially. Meanwhile Blacks will pretend racial equality, white the youth futures are massively stolen, without educational choice, with blaming children for society ills. Its funny Blacks are so high, off a a mixed man in the Presdency, that they don't know to hollar louder then the gays, hispanics and everyone else. World Court and UN I want and Demand REPARATIONS. No they worried about looking angry, they are just where all the other groups want them to be, lost in stupidity.
