New York : President-elect Barack Obama has met with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to discuss what role she might play in his administration.
Speculation in recent days has focused on the possibility that Obama would ask Clinton, a second-term senator from New York, to be his secretary of state.
Others mentioned for that post include Senator John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts and the party’s presidential nominee in 2004, and Tom Daschle, the former Senate majority leader.
Appearing at a public transit conference in Albany, New York, on Friday, Clinton said she would not address reports about whether she would be offered a position in the Obama administration.
“I have to start by saying I’m very happy there is so much press attention and interest in transit,” she said during her appearance at a conference hosted by the New York Public Transit Association, before a crowd of about 200 people and a couple of dozen reporters and photographers.
