Hillary Busts a Move
EmailWhat is it about Africa that makes US leaders dance?
At a gala dinner in Nairobi this week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got down on the dance floor. Check out the video, starting around 26 seconds in. Clinton looks like she was having fun. She was even the first one to throw her hands in the air like she just didn't care.
The video comes to us from Kenya's NTV, which stayed on to film the event after US press were kicked out following the top US diplomat's toast.
Who knew she had it in her? Secretary Clinton looks more at ease here than the last time we saw her get her groove on.
Clinton also took some curveball questions in stride, including about an offer from a Kenyan city councilman five years ago for her daughter Chelsea's hand in marriage… in exchange for 40 goats and 20 cows.
Clinton laughed and promised to "convey this very kind offer" to her "very independent" daughter.

You think a part of her is getting a chuckle out of the current Obama woes? She does seem in a awefully good mood.

She looks so happy there — it must be a nice change from what she has to deal with every day.

I love Hillary. If you get a chance check out her response to John Bolton’s concerns about her husband’s trip to N. Korea– a full-throated laugh!! she goes into it in more detail with Fareed Zakaria, saying ” We’ve done this so many times before. We’ve had former presidents do it. We’ve had sitting members of Congress do it. It is something that, you know, it is absolutely not rewarding them. It is not in any way responding to specific demands. It is a recognition that certain countries that I think are kind of beyond the pale, the rule of law, hold people and subject them to long prison terms that are absolutely unfair and unwarranted.”
She ALSO said of Bolton: “If President Obama walked on water, he would say he couldn’t swim.”
Great quote.

I love Hillary, we are so lucky to have her and her husband in this country. Especially after they were treated in the last election. It shows how much they really love America and only want the best for this country.Go Hillary and Bill

She definitely hates playing ‘second fiddle’.

Oh Betty, they’re in it for themselves. Haven’t you been paying attention?

I am so proud that she represents our country. Through her efforts, the world will once again respect and love the United States.
I can’t wait until she is our President.
Go Hillary- either 2012 or 2016 – her choice, although I think the sooner the better.

wondering if china, russia send out their equivalent of hillary to travel the world and make nice? china appears to be replacing the usa as a financial power, most likely military too. russia might be coming in second place with the usa in third. just wondering why they don’t send out their diplomats, like a hillary, to make nice.
