While a British newspaper may have jumped the gun in reporting that Hillary Clinton would be President-elect Obama's Secretary of State, it certainly seems like it'll happen at some point. Politico reports that "Negotiations between the Clintons and President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team are rapidly moving toward a formal offer of secretary of state" by next week.
More intriguingly, former President Bill Clinton has entered the talks: According to a "close friend," apparently Bubba "is open to giving up foreign sources of income if his wife becomes secretary of state." The friend said, "There’ll be things that he did in the past that he won’t do now," which could be interpreted so many ways. When HRC was running for president, she released her and Bill's tax returns, which showed over $109 million in income between 2000 and 2007.
The Washington Post adds that Bill Clinton will make "public all donors to his foundation and clearing all of his future speeches and charitable activities with Obama administration officials." Still, WaPo source says the couple is debating the offer, "She's very much so undecided. It's a life-changing decision, a different environment, a different everything."

Well, let's not forget that the president still has to gain approval from the Senate for this appointment. He can't just emplace an imperial edict yet.
Keep the Clintonians out of it she is from mars.
Before Hillary Clinton can become Secretary of State, the Obama administration will certainly insist on a number of conditions which could include:
1) Bill Clinton must provide a complete listing of all donors to his foundation and presidential library.
2) Both Bill and Hillary Clinton must agree that any and all private financial dealings and other interactions with foreign leaders will not take place unless specifically authorized by the US government.
3) Hillary Clinton agrees to publically discuss exactly what her approach to the job of Secretary of State will be and clearly indicate how she will be able to perform that job without any conflict of interest whatsoever.
If Bill and Hillary Clinton are unwilling or unable to comply with whatever the Obama administration considers necessary, Hillary Clinton cannot become Secretary of State. The ball is in the Clinton’s court.
Nostradamus predicts Hilary as taking over the Presidency. me scared!
