US President-elect Barack Obama is "on track" to nominate Hillary Clinton as secretary of state within a week, according to US media reports.

A Democratic Party official was quoted as saying the move would be made public after next week's Thanksgiving holiday.

The two sides have worked out financial disclosure issues regarding her husband Bill Clinton's charitable activities, the party official reportedly said.

The former president has offered to allow ethics reviews of his charities.

Mr Clinton has an international charitable foundation with operations in dozens of countries.

This latest move is seen as an attempt to address questions about whether his philanthropic activities would create conflicts of interest if his wife got the job.


Smart move, class move, smooth move

Is Bill still going to collect millions from foreign sources to do speaking engagement around the world, or does he have to give that up for a while?

Obama is usually very careful in who he chooses, so wonder what would happen if it is not Hillary Clinton that he chooses. Hope sincerely that it is someone else.

Well he ended up picking her. Kind of a weird situation to have her as his vice president I think.. or? Has this happened before? That someone picks for vice president a candidate that ran against him?

1- Not vice president...
2- In the old days, it was always that way. The runner-up in the presidential race would always be the vice president.

I'm sorry, of course I meant secretary of foreign affairs, or whatever the title is called.
