As Twitchy reported, Hillary Clinton on Sunday said that once she was inaugurated, she’d be putting husband Bill in charge of revitalizing the economy, despite her previous assurances that, under President Obama, the economy was better off, and “anyone who says otherwise is wrong.”

So, in which position would Bill serve on Hillary’s Cabinet? None, according to a report from her campaign appearance in Kentucky Monday. Maybe she’s learned not to let her campaign’s “secret weapon” into White House cabinets, closets, or other small, secluded places.
Hillary Clinton tells crowd at diner in Paducah, KY that if Bill becomes the "First Gentleman" that "I expect him to get to work."

Apparently her denial that Bill would be part of her cabinet was made silently. ABC News reports that “Clinton ignored” repeated questions about what role he would serve in the White House, “but when asked if her husband would be in her Cabinet, she shook her head and mouthed, ‘No.'”

@thehill @realDonaldTrump @HillaryClinton Mainly because there will be no cabinet.

OK, did she say “No” or did she just mouth the word “No”? These are the Clintons we’re dealing with; one can’t be too careful.
@ABCLiz So then yesterday she was just pandering to a Kentucky audience, by claiming Bill will be in charge of the economy? A serial liar?

@thehill then how is he going to fix the economy. She's a liar

He'll serve his third term

@thehill BUT will he be served from under some cabinet?
— Kris Murphy (@KrisinAL) May 16, 2016
@thehill Most likely he will be involved with the Intern program.

What’s most frightening is just where she might put her husband to work in Washington if not the White House.
Update:
Campaigning for his wife in the Virgin Islands Monday, Bill Clinton said he’ll do whatever Hillary asks him to do, something he probably says a lot, just before doing whatever he feels like.
Bill Clinton, asked by @kailanikm about possible role in HRC admin: "I’ll do whatever I’m asked to do, but I like this economic business."
