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!

Who watched Hillary Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention last night? Do you think her speech was convincing enough to get the “die hard” Clinton supporters to vote for Obama.
In case you missed it, here you go:

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HER SPEECH…

I’m not really in to politics, but last night I watched Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and I must say I was really touch and impressed by her speech. Michelle Obama made a connection with everyone as she described herself as a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother, no different from many women.

She spoke about her dreams for her two daughters…  “I think about how one day, they’ll have families of their own. And one day, they — and your sons and daughters — will tell their own children about what we did together in this election. They’ll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes, instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming,” she said. She was GREAT!

Tyra Banks actually got Hillary Clinton to speak about the pain she endured when her husband, former president Bill Clinton, cheated on her in the White House with former staffer Monica Lewinsky.  “I really had to dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family,” the Democratic presidential candidate told Banks on the Tyra Bank Show set to air Friday. “I never doubted Bill’s love for me ever, and I never doubted my faith and my commitment to our daughter and our extended family”, Hillary said.  “The momentary feelings — you know, you are mad, you are really upset, you are disappointed — all of that goes through your mind …” Clinton said. “I have found you really shouldn’t make decisions in the heat of those moments.” When Tyra asked about her advice towards women who are dealing with infidelity, she said  “I say you have to be true to yourself,” Clinton said. “No one story is the same as any other story. I don’t know your reality. I can’t possibly substitute my judgment for yours. … You have to do what is right for you and that may not be what anybody else believes.”
