Madam Hillary Clinton is reportedly setting her sights on a new post, that of President of the World Bank. After several years of being America's top diplomat (a post that once was for the heir despairing to the U.S. Presidency) she's setting her sights on running the world body. Of course, this all comes with the standard denials. It seems quite likely that at this crucial moment in time, the two top finance chairs may give way to women, with French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde actively campaigning for the lead role at the International Monetary Fund, the one vacated by Dominique Strauss-Kahn (who is currently cooling his heels in a $50,000 a month townhouse in Tribeca, Manhattan while waiting to go to trial).
In a season of alpha males behaving badly, maybe turning over the world's purse-strings to the ladies is for the best. Now if we just get America's alpha male U.S. President Barack Obama to get behind Elizabeth Warren get that small matter of her running of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau settled.
