It was reported and then vigorously denied – though I took the denials with a grain of salt because, well, the Clinton’s are inveterate liars and so anything they say, or authorize to say about them, must be taken with a grain of salt…if by “grain” we mean “mountainous pile of sodium”. So, no surprise that we’ve got the MSM sticking by the story:
…”Hillary Clinton wants the job,” said one source who knows the secretary well.
A second source also said Clinton wants the position.
A third source said Obama had already expressed support for the change in her role. It is unclear whether Obama has formally agreed to nominate her for the post, which would require approval by the 187 member countries of the World Bank.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney denied the discussions. “It’s totally wrong,” he told Reuters.
A spokesman for Clinton, Philippe Reines, denied Clinton wanted the job, had conversations with the White House about it or would accept it.
People familiar with the situation, told of the denials from the White House and State Department, reaffirmed the accuracy of the report…
It is a good fit for Hillary. The World Bank is just the sort of elitist, Ruling Class entity which appeals to liberals who want to shape the world to fit their ideology. Additionally, t will provide power and money without having to really answer to anyone…the corrupt deals the Clinton’s have engineered can keep going and whole, new worlds of sleazy deal making will open up. I can see her wanting this job – and wanting to bail out on Obama before the wheels completely come off the cart.
