Obama CONSIDERING Hillary Clinton for SECRETARY Of STATE !!!

Senator Hillary Clinton is among the candidates President-elect Barack Obama is considering for secretary of state, U.S. media reports say.

Democratic officials have indicated that the former first lady is on Mr. Obama's list of candidates for the post. Senator Clinton lost to Mr. Obama in the Democratic presidential primary after a long and often bitter race.

When asked earlier this week if she would take a position in the Obama administration, Clinton said that she was happy being in the U.S. Senate, but said she wants to be "a good partner" to the new president.

Others said to be under consideration for secretary of state include Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, the VOANews.com is reporting.

On Thursday, Mr. Obama's Vice President-elect Joe Biden met with outgoing Vice President Dick Cheney.

Biden and his wife, Jill, received a tour of the official vice presidential residence in Washington. Both couples were cordial as they greeted each other, despite Biden's sharp attacks against Cheney during the presidential campaign.

During the vice presidential debate and while campaigning, Biden accused Cheney of expanding his power beyond his constitutional authority, and referred to him as the most dangerous vice president in U.S. history.

Mr. Obama on Friday will record the Democratic Party's weekly radio address on video as well so it can be viewed online. The move is the latest in the president-elect's plans to make the White House more technologically modern, and to find new ways to address the American people.
