Vetting

On the question of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, one thing that will -- or at least should -- be a big issue is the vetting process. The reality is that Bill and Hillary Clinton -- particularly Bill -- have some potential conflicts of interest that need to be identified and resolved.

Specifically, I'm talking about things like Bill's links to Kazakhstan, Colombia, and Dubai. There's a number of questions relating to his presidential library as well.

My aim here isn't to slam the Clintons. I'm just saying that to be our nation's top diplomat will require a level of vetting similar to that of a vice presidential candidate, and it's something that needs to be done so that we can be sure that there won't be any problems that crop up either in the confirmation process or after taking office.
