It looks like there is a fairly good chance we may end up with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and husband—what’s his name?–ALL back in D.C. forming a sort of holy trinity that would unite the Obamas and the Clintons in a fusion many thought would never happen but some now think is inevitable.
CNN and other news organizations–like all of them—are saying that Clinton met with Obama in Chicago; that he asked her if she was interested in being Secretary of State; that he would make her an offer she couldn’t refuse if she is, in fact, interested?
And, why wouldn’t she be? She’d be the most powerful Secretary of State since Henry Kissinger and she’d get to be in the White House again—at least when visiting Obama there.
Should Clinton take the post, she, of course, comes along with Bill. Despite the tension between Bill and Barack during the campaign, the fact is, having a former president on your side is not a bad thing.
Can’t you picture this scene: Hillary: Your majesty, how are you? Oh, and you know my husband, Bill!”
My guess is Clinton would not have gone to Chicago to talk with Obama if she wasn’t really intersted.
I’ll bet we will know one way or the other in a matter of just days.
