CHICAGO: Three months after Barack Obama defeated Sen. Hillary Clinton in an intense contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, she will be a candidate to be U.S. secretary of state for the President.
But Clinton was not available for the comment and described by her office as having flown to Chicago on Thursday on personal business.
Her selection as top U.S. diplomat could also mean a more hawkish foreign policy than that advocated by Obama during his presidential campaign.
But both Obama and Clinton were adamant about improving the image of the United States abroad and correcting what they considered the “failed policies” of the outgoing Bush administration.
On the campaign trail, Clinton was more reluctant than Obama to commit to a firm timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
