MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says her work as U.S. secretary of state will be her final public position.
She told an interviewer in the Persian Gulf nation of Bahrain that she does not plan to run for president. And she appeared to rule out taking any other public role, saying that instead she expects to return to private life as an advocate for women and children around the globe.
She said she had enjoyed an interesting and rewarding public career and will be ready to get back to the advocacy work she did as a young lawyer.
Some had speculated she might succeed Robert Gates after his expected retirement next year as secretary of defense.

Posted on December 3, 2010 at 4:39pmThat is good news because we are done with her. She has insulted the very concept of a moral wife when her husband former President Clinton had sexual affairs in the same house where she lived. Instead of divorcing the man, she “tolerated” his actions for political gain.

Posted on December 5, 2010 at 11:00amThe written agreement was brought to Beijing by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was formalized and agreed-to during her recent trip to China.
This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take — inside the USA — land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities – to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government.
Put simply, the feds have now actually mortgaged the physical land and property of all citizens and businesses in the United States. They have given to a foreign power, their Constitutional power to “take” all of our property, as actual collateral for continued Chinese funding of US deficit spending and the continued carrying of US national debt.
This is an unimaginable betrayal of every man, woman and child in the USA. An outrage worthy of violent overthrow!
With the stroke of a Chinese chop stick, Hawaii and California — all the land and buildings in those states — are now owned by China.
The “taking” would be a “valid public use” because it was “taken” in payment of the public debt!!!
China could then turn around and declare the value of all that land to be worth. . . . . I dunno, ten cents on a dollar?
For your $200,000 house, you get a Chinese check for $20,000!
Needless to say, the property owners would go ballistic and demand “just compensation” for what was taken. Who gets to decide what is “just?” China! Don’t think you got a fair price for what they took? No problem, sue China!
You’ll lose!
