Exclusive: Clinton in talks about possible move to World Bank

WASHINGTON | Thu Jun 9, 2011 5:20pm EDT

By Lesley Wroughton

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been in discussions with the White House about leaving her job next year to become head of the World Bank, sources familiar with the discussions said Thursday.

The former first lady and onetime political rival to President Barack Obama quickly became one of the most influential members of his cabinet after she began her tenure at State in early 2009.

She has said publicly she did not plan to stay on at the State Department for more than four years. Associates say Clinton has expressed interest in having the World Bank job should the Bank's current president, Robert Zoellick, leave at the end of his term, in the middle of 2012.

"Hillary Clinton wants the job," said one source who knows the secretary well.

8. Considering DLC Bubba is a Bilderburg guy, DLC Hillary becoming Top Bankster makes perfect sense.

Her 2004 cover for Business Week was all too prescient.

[DFab420]

13. Haha

I love Bilderberg conspiracies!!

You're in good company with LaRouche and Phyllis Schfly

[ClarkUSA]

14. Stop babbling. It's a fact re: Bubba and his multiple invites to Bilderburg. WTF are you implying?

Besides making up strawman fallacies about what I said, that is.

[DFab420]

17. Well, I'm pretty sure I was just picking up the implication you were making about

Quote "DLC bubba and his ties to the bilderberg group" then tying that in with calling Hillary a bankster. Which she isn't. Just seemed to smack a bit of conspiracy theory to me...

18. Better fix your antenna. First, take off the tinfoil. Then read blank space's reply to you.

16. what conspiracy

That the worlds top elected officials and public representatives meet in secret to arrange global government appointments ?

I've read several books on the elite, by elites and they all claim "there is no conspiracy, its just that people dont
understand how networking on the global scale works, and that things like davos and bilderberg help the elite come together
outside of the spotlight of the media to formulate action plans for the future of the world and appoint people to positions
global power." And that " There is no way this can be done with the restraints of individual sovereign states and competing national interests, it just wouldn't work, whats there are very very few people who understand they way things really work. So this kind of annual meeting is imperative for the progress of the world. There is no conspiracy, thats just crazy".

Yes this is exactly (paraphased) what the book says. Exactly. Your right its not a conspiracy its a complete and utter abandonment of the principles of democracy and freedom.

One need only look at the Bill Clinton Foundation - invite only to the worlds most powerful elite - spare me.

I think you think a conspiracy is more than it is - there needs to be some sort of black magic and alchemy involved. It doesn't.

All it takes is public officials meeting in non-public ways. Thats all there is to it. They have NO RIGHT.

20. Nicely said and welcome to DU.

23. Excellent post.

Concise, accurate and calmly presented.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

9. Now that's interesting.

What a journey.

[Uncle Joe]

10. She must have it locked up already.

Thanks for the thread, rdking.

11. I smell a rat.

12. Boy, the PUMAS now need loose panties...

I don't care what she does..she has had enough time to make up her own mind. She already said she wasn't interested in the POTUS job.

[sofa king]

15. I have an idea:

How about appointing a career diplomat as Secretary of State?

I know, it's crazy.

[The Doctor.]

19. Well... she did always want to be President.

22. I work for IFC, which is part of the Bank Group, so if this did happen

Hillary Clinton would effectively be my boss, or the capa di capa tutti, you could say. I could handle that. I had to take my 10 year photo with Wolfowitz. To get my 20th and retirement photo with Clinton would make up for that disappointment.

[No Elephants]

24. Her peeps deny this.
