Bill May Hinder Hillary from Sec of State Appointment

Reportedly, Sen. Hillary Clinton is being vetted for possible Secretary of State for the Obama Administration. The buzz has really picked up over the last few days, but both sides are tight-lipped.

The biggest stumbling block for Hillary may not be the infamous "3am" ads that she ran against Obama in the primaries nor their bitter battle for the Democratic nomination. Hillary might be hindered from the cabinet post because of her own husband.

Two officials with President-elect Barack Obama's transition team confirm to CNN that it is investigating Bill Clinton's finances and post-presidential dealings. As part of the early vetting process, the team is looking for any negative information that could throw the prospect of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state into jeopardy.

A particular issue could be the donor list of Bill Clinton's global foundation, which might show connections to international figures who push policies that might conflict with those of the new Obama administration. (full article)
