Hillary Clinton Secretary of State...That's the rumour doing the rounds as Hillary Clinton lands in Chicago for what appears to be a secret meeting with Barack Obama on the possibility of a position in the new Obama Whithouse cabinet.
Former Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson were thought to have been the front runners for the powerful and influential position of United States Secretary of State in an Obama Administration.
If it was confirmed that Hillary Clinton was to be Obama's Secretary of State questions would be asked if a deal was done between Clinton and Barack Obama during the Democratic primaries that Hillary could get a spot in an Obama Whitehouse if he were to win.
"Very serious" discussion is being given to the given to the possibility says ABC news. The leaking of that information may be the Obama camp preparing the US public for just a possibility in the coming days and weeks.
Asked if Hillary Clinton would consider the secretary of state job, a former official in President Clinton’s administration said, "I think so. What would you rather do -- be senator or secretary of state?"
Asked about the reports on the Cabinet post and another report that Hillary Clinton went to Obama’s home base of Chicago today, senior Hillary Clinton adviser Philippe Reines said, "Any speculation about cabinet or other administration appointments is really for President-elect Obama's transition team to address."

Hillary Clinton is due to arrive in Chicago and her staff said that there would be no public appearances by the Senator of New York and former Presidential candidate. That news fueled speculation that Obama and Clinton were meeting and Barack Obama would ask Hillary to serve in his cabinet.
