In political news, President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State after Thanksgiving. President-elect Barack Obama offered Sen. Hillary Clinton the position of Secretary of State during their meeting last Thursday in Chicago, according to two senior Democratic officials. She requested time to consider the offer, the officials said. New York Times quoted Clinton’s friends as saying she was debating between accepting the role or taking on an enhanced role in the Senate. Clinton would have to surrender her Senate seat, which she has held for eight years, to take the job. Obama is convinced the advantages of Clinton serving far outweighed potential downsides, the adviser said. We’ll see what happens!
