Our Fabulous Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton

What a treat it was to see Hillary on Meet the Press this morning! The little snips of news we usually see of her in this capital, with that head of state, don't capture her personality and brilliance the way a real conversation does. Watching her brought back such strong memories of what it was like to work for her at the White House. I hope everyone saw her mastery of every topic they covered, and the flashes of spontaneous humor she brings to the table. She's THE most incredible woman. You'd want to have her for a friend. I'm proud that she's been mine.

She's a FABULOUS Secretary of State, with a great team around her. I loved what she said about there being no in-fighting in the Obama cabinet between State, Defense, the NSC, etc. the way there was under George II. I believe the world is already safer because of her part in our diplomacy. The last Secretary of State was a Soviet expert. In this century! Didn't work out that well for us, now did it?

And then there was the extra bonus of knowing her enthusiastic support of the President allows NO daylight between them, thus thwarting, yet again, the ridiculous Fox rumor-mongering about some supposed rift between them. Ha!

The only sad note was my regret that she's not President, as she shoulda been. It's taken me practically this whole year to get over it! But it's just like her to keep working tirelessly, in whatever capacity she can, for her country. Go Hillary!
