Barack, offer Bill Clinton Secretary of State ...

[Onlooker]

.. and back Hillary Clinton as she leads the fight for national health care. I think it would be a great way to heal the wounds of the Party.

1. fuck Bill, he has had his time in the light

[msmcghee]

13. Sometimes I'm just in awe of the . .

. . tremendous intelligence on display here at DU. :sarcasm:

[Fran Kubelik]

2. He has to win it first. nt

[rwheeler31]

3. Can Bill be in the line of succession?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. Yes. Henry Kissinger was not eligible to be Pres, but was SS

(He was a naturalized citizen)

[jlake]

4. Obama is beholden to foes of universal healthcare.

[JVS]

5. No fucking way.

[democrank]

7. The Clintons should get nothing except for

an all-expense-paid Renaissance weekend with the DLC.

[Mojambo]

8. I'm no great admirerer of Bill Clinton's but he is quite qualified for such a position.

Never happen in a million years though.

9. We need them to win the White House

Like it or not, if you're Latino, chances are you like Hillary Clinton a lot; if you're a feminist, chances are you like Hillary Clinton a lot; if you're gay, chance are you like the Clintons. Those are facts. I want Obama in the White House, not McCain, and we're not going to get there if we're divided.

10. I LIke Bill Clinton

but I am tired of the Clinton family. After all this is over, would it kill them to stay out of the limelight for at least a minute?

[msmcghee]

11. Has it ever occured to you that . .

. . what might be good for the US in the future and the unity of the democratic Party and our ability to accomplish some good things for America and solve the huge list of very serious problems we have inherited from the last 8 years of repukanomics - just might be a little more important in the whole scheme of things than the fact that you are personally "tired of the Clinton family".

I've seen some pretty stupid comments these last few days but this one has to be worth an honorable mention at least.

I have no idea if using the Clintons to help solve some of those problems would work out or not but I figure whatever help is available we should use it. Especially since large numbers of Dems in various interest groups think the Clintons are damned good people who deserve our respect - even if she loses the nomination. You can count me in that group.

[midora]

15. Has it Ever Occurred to You that...

Not only are you unspeakably rude, but I am not the only person who is fed up with the Clintons. I think I have even more right to be tired of them since when I lived in Arkansas your hero Bill Clinton was my governor for 10 years. As I stated previously, I like the guy, but please! He's not the only talented Democrat who would be an excellent Secretary of State. You sound very bitter, like many Clinton supporters, and do not ever address me again.

[msmcghee]

20. I'm not bitter. I just have low tolerance for stupidity. n/t

[Forkboy]

12. I think he'd make a better roaming abassador, a la Carter.

[blonndee]

17. Wrong Bill for SOS.

Now, Bill Richardson, HELL YEAH!!

[karynnj]

18. Or treat Clinton the way they've treated others,

promise now, than don't.

[Mz Pip]

19. Whoever wins

Hillary or Obama, if she/he wins the general election, should appoint the other to the next vacancy on the SCOTUS. That's where the power is.

Obama could be a justice for 30 years; Hillary 25. That would be sweet.
