Is there a rumor about Michelle that I don't know about?

It's a huge decision. If she accepts then she must vacate her Senate seat and then if she gets canned by Obama she is on the outside looking in and no longer in the game. Given their not so friendly campaign would she give up a sure thing in the Senate hoping that she and Obama can work together with him holding the power to fire her at will?

I wouldn't think so.

Exactly. She has a lock on the Senate. New Yorkers will elect her for the next hundred years.

Secretary of State is an appointed , therefore temporary, job.

She would be an idiot to give up that seat for one that is a sure fire way to be criticised and shown up for the idiot she is. Whoever bears the job of carrying Obama's pathetic appeasement agenda to foreign countries is doomed to failure.

Its like two kids out driving on their electric gator being placed in the cab of a Peterbilt and told to drive it cross-country.

One of the Sunday talk shows brought this up, and someone said that for all proactical purposes, Hillary really couldn't be fired - it would be a PR disaster unless she really screwed things up.

Actually that was my main reason to objecting to her meddling in the White House in the Clinton years - she was absolutely un-fire-able. You can't fire the First Lady. Everyone else is expendable.

I think everyone else has touched on this - she has a lock on the New York Senate seat for as long as she wants it - and 2012, she can still run for President. It would seem strange for a Secretary of State to run AGAINST their boss. The only sitting Senators who should take it are men who have nothing to lose.
