It's the millions foreign governments donated to her husband's foundations:
"Former President Bill Clinton's foundation has raised at least $46 million from Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments that his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton may end up negotiating with as the next secretary of state. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gave $10 million to $25 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit created by the former president to finance his library in Little Rock, Ark., and charitable efforts to reduce poverty and treat AIDS. Other foreign government givers include Norway, Kuwait, Qatar, Brunei, Oman, Italy and Jamaica. The Dutch national lottery gave $5 million to $10 million....The list also underscores ties between the Clintons and India, a connection that could complicate diplomatic perceptions of whether Hillary Clinton can be a neutral broker between India and neighbor Pakistan in a region where President-elect Barack Obama will face an early test of his foreign policy leadership."
Now of course, some will say that there's no problem here, Hillary Clinton will not be thinking of any of this when carrying out her duties, we can trust her to be honest (HA!), etc etc etc.
My question, though, is: why does Barack Obama need any of this? Why go through it? Why even let there be a possibility that these questions will be raised? Why does he need this drama at all?
If he had named someone else as secretary of state, he wouldn't have to be worrying about any of this. I suspect that some day, he'll be telling himself that...in frustration.
