Of course, I expect Ms.Slick Willie will forego the exemption and insist on paying income tax out of sympathy for the average American.

So the SAME people who push for higher taxes in governments around the world, the same people who blacklist countries which they deem "tax havens" EXEMPT THEMSELVES!!! I would never do any such thing myself, but I'd like to see these "employees" hunted down and scolded severely in the near future!

Employees of Foreign Governments or International Organizations

Hillary Clinton interested in becoming head of World Bank?

Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama's Secretary of State, has been in discussions with the White House about stepping down from her foreign policy job next year to becoming head of the World Bank, it has been reported.

Mrs Clinton, the former First Lady, Senator for New York and rival to Mr Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary race, is said to be eager to become the first female president of the World Bank should the post become vacant next year.

"Hillary Clinton wants the job," a source close to Mrs Clinton told Reuters, which broke the news of the possible move.

Robert Zoellick, a former Bush administration official, is believed to be ready to step down as president at the end of his term in the middle of next year.

Mrs Clinton has made clear she does not want to remain US Secretary of State, a gruelling job demanding months of world travel each year, beyond Mr Obama's first term.

Another source told Reuters that Mr Obama supported her taking the helm at the World Bank, which is traditionally led by an American.

Once formally nominated for the post by Mr Obama, Mrs Clinton's appointment would require approval by the 187 member countries of the World Bank.
