Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090115/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/clinton_confirmation


This is an article I found on Yahoo's homepage, and I was actually quite surprised that I didn't hear it anywhere else first. I was even surprised to see that it wasn't event mentioned on NBC's Nightly News program (although, the plane crash in NYC probably took precedence). Anyway, Hillary Clinton's nomination as Secretary of State to President-elect Obama was overwhelmingly approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (she was approved by a 16-1 vote). I was quite surprised that Clinton is receiving major support from both Democrats and Republicans. As a former Clinton supporter during the primaries, I always felt the media was a little biased against Senator Clinton. But I'm glad to see her support for this high-profile position.
