Hillary is Flowering as SOS: She looks beautiful and radiant!

[SuperTrouper]

I am amazed how beautiful our Secretary of State looks lately. I am watching her interview with Andrea Mitchell and Hillary Clinton indeed looks fantastic! Did she have a face job or she is just enjoying and thriving in her new job. I think that Hillary is doing a great job as our Secretary of State, probably Obama's best pick for his Cabinet.

[noamnety]

1. ugh

No substance, just a critique of how she "looks."

I hate that this is how we talk about women in politics.

[SuperTrouper]

7. Not true. Nobody objects when we say that our President is handsome and young.

I say Hillary looks beautiful and is doing a fantastic job...no intention of being superficial...like Sarah Palin is beautiful but not a good prospect for the Presidency of our country...John Thune being handsome but also not a good prospect for the Presidency of our country either.

[HamdenRice]

11. Funny thing is a doctor friend of mine said Hillary was probably sick ...

during much of the campaign. This doctor said the pictures of her face suggested she had a metabolic illness, like perhaps a thyroid condition. Take it for what it's worth, it's just medical gossip, but she does look better.

Maybe it was stress.

[NYC_SKP]

23. It was stress, campaigning nastiness did not become her.

And I'm not even saying she was the nasty one, she had some nasty, nasty, people on her staff and she probably said and did things that did not agree with her spirit.

And that kind of thing shows on one's face.

:patriot:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

20. agreed. However, she is flowering as SecState.

Her approach, insights, diplomatic talents and her energy are all showing dividends. I would not be surprised if she is considered one of the top SecStates of our time. Of course, it hurts not one bit to be compared with her predecessor. An illiterate, blind, deaf, dumb, senile, steroid-crazed, former WWF wannabe would have been better than Rice. And I don't want to insult illiterates with that comparison.

[Political Heretic]

92. I think highly of her, but I'm not entirely sure what she has done so far that makes this true

...I have high expectations that this very well could be true. And I think her natural traits such as her brilliance and international savvy will serve us all well!

[moez]

21. you aren't kidding "ugh"

[Beacool]

24. You know when that pic was taken?

After the senate stayed up all night and she had no makeup on.

:(

[damntexdem]

33. Yeah, but even if the Senate has been up all night, you won't catch Harry Reid without his makeup on

;-)

[Beacool]

51. True..............

:7

[empyreanisles]

45. And you know what? I just want to run up to Hillary there, hug her ...

and say, "Thank you, for everything you do!!!" :)

[biopowertoday]

64. welcome to DU and...........

:yourock:

[Beacool]

73. Nice sentiment!!

I too want to welcome you to DU.

:hi:

[Political Heretic]

94. I agree with this completely.

[Skip Intro]

47. Got any pics of yourself after an allnighter?

I'd love to see one.

[biopowertoday]

49. You are living in the primaries yet. Shameful.

[ronnykmarshall]

88. Which RW site did you get that from?

[moez]

91. actually, you don't have to look far.

she's a great SOS... but, she is unfortunately, one fugly woman....

[MilesColtrane]

2. Maybe spending time away from Bill agrees with her?

[YOY]

3. Who the fuck cares how she looks?

She's doing a well above decent job. That's all that matters.

She has her work cut out for her.

[treestar]

76. It could be a sign she is happy

and in the job, you know, if you feel good, you look good.

[masuki bance]

4. Wow.

Just f*ck'n wow.

[redqueen]

9. Yep.

We've got a looooooooong way to go.

[bdamomma]

22. a very long way to go, I hope she is making us credible again.

[redqueen]

29. I hope so too.

I'm using this thread to ignore anyone who is unable to distinguish between praising someone's works and praising someone's looks. So... bright side.

[Atman]

5. That's the first thing I consider when it comes to foreign policy...hotness.

:eyes:

.

[knowbody0]

6. I agree

she is confident, poised and gracious.

[HamdenRice]

8. I HATED Hillary during the primaries, but she's shaping up to be the best SOS in history

I was listening to DemocracyNow this morning, and her approach to Middle East peace is nothing short of revolutionary.

[SuperTrouper]

13. She is going down in history as a trailblazer in terms of new diplomacy and

will re-establish our diplomatic prowess that was squandered under the failed Presidency of George W. Bush

[ClarkUSA]

27. You two do know that she's just following the foreign policy orders of President Obama, right?

Also, her job at the moment is selling President Obama's FP decisions while special envoys do the diplomatic heavy-lifting
behind the scenes so it's no wonder she's making the interview rounds with gusto during the first day of the G20.

[damntexdem]

35. Just following orders can be done competently or incompetently.

And I'm sure she has a voice in foreign policy discussions.

[ClarkUSA]

48. True... although she's made some gaffes while overseas, one of which delighted Republicans.

Other than that, she's doing her job selling President Obama's foreign policy ideas abroad while special envoys do the heavy-lifting behind the scenes.

[biopowertoday]

54. They seem to delight you just as much. shameful.

[ClarkUSA]

55. What a strange thing to say. Is there a full moon out tonight?

[biopowertoday]

59. You forget, I know you.

[ClarkUSA]

67. I'm flattered.

[biopowertoday]

82. see you around. I am off

to work----on my broom. Later.

[Beacool]

68. There is a saying in Spanish that is quite apropos

Somos pocos y nos conocemos mucho......

There are only a few of us and we know each other too well.

His innocent act may play well on another board, here we all know who's who.

:eyes:

[biopowertoday]

81. i like your saying. thanks.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

85. +1

[Jakes Progress]

69. We all do.

Ignore is a great friend.

[ronnykmarshall]

89. Not as much.

La Clark would shove an old lady down a flight of stairs to get to post ANYTHING negative about Hillary or Bill.

I'm sure Chelsea will do something that will awake the bug up his/her ass sometime soon.

[CTyankee]

44. I listened carefully to her during the debates last year and she was amazing on foreign policy

and everything else she talked about. So I have expected her to shine brightly as SoS. She's away from Bill's smothering and interference. She is her own person and by the looks of her performance, she's at the top of her game...

[Political Heretic]

93. Can I see this? Seriously I am obviously way out of touch on what Clinton's getting done

But I'm extremely positive about her. I had high expectations that she would be very good, but its like I can only absorb so much news and foreign policy has taken a backseat lately.

Where can I find this?

[ErinBerin84]

10. She sounded very good in the interview

And yes, she looked great as well. Is it just me, or does it always seem like ANdrea Mitchell is attached at the hip with Hillary? I feel like every other day, she has a new interview with her, heh. I wonder if Hillary tires of her.

[WI_DEM]

12. Obama knew what he was doing making Hillary SOS, she is doing a very good job.

[Gormy Cuss]

14. I'm not amazed, but then it may be because I'm interested more in how she's doing as SoS.

"Did she have a face job.." :eyes:

[onehandle]

15. Ignore the negativity in this thread.

I get your meaning.

She is doing great and it shows.

[xxqqqzme]

18. I agree.

Confidence is a tremendous health & beauty aid.

[lamp_shade]

19. It's the cranky fifth this poster was talking about .........

[MarjorieG]

16. Hillary meets with Obama daily, I read, and speaks with admin. voice. Uses it perfectly.

Great choice, and a wonderful coalition.

[geiger]

17. Does anyone have a photo from this week? I think she has been looking great, too. eom.

[Beacool]

34. Your wish is my command

[geiger]

40. thanks, it's as if this is what she was born to do, and

I think she looks geniunely happy, at peace, and secure in her own competence, sure of the contributions she will be able to make.

Happy thoughts, don't you think, in the midst of so much other angst.

The pictures are exactly what I was hoping for. I have not yet been able to figure out how to get pictures on this board, or any internet board, for that matter.

[Beacool]

41. You're welcome!!!

I enjoyed looking for them.

If you want to see many more go to this link and type her name:

http://www.daylife.com/

To post pics you need to right click on the pic and then click "Properties". An "address" will come up, highlight that link (they usually end with jpg). Then right click again and hit copy. Go to your post and right clicking again hit paste. You'll see the link, but not the actual pic. Don't worry, the pic will appear when you post the message. Try it out.

Voila, your lovely pick will be posted!!

:)

[geiger]

42. Oh, I get it now. Thanks again for the lesson.

[Beacool]

78. No problem...........

:hi:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

58. She looks very happy.

She needs a trim on the back of her hair. And her cuffs are about an inch too long.

The job agrees with her.

[Beacool]

77. I think that she's trying to let it grow.

At least so it appeared on her last trip.

:D

[ecstatic]

25. Are people using faux outrage to avoid rec'ing this thread?

:hide:

[Adelante]

26. I think it's the job

She looks happier since she's doing it than I've ever seen her.

[Beacool]

28. No, she hasn't had a face job.

She's just been sleeping in her own bed as opposed to hotel rooms for almost 2 years. She's also not eating junk on the run for weeks on end.

Campaigning is brutal, and the past primaries were the longest in history. The rest of the world thinks that we are nuts. Their presidential campaigns last weeks or a few months at the most, not years.

Oh, and yes, she's been looking good. But, then again, that's how she normally looks in person.

:D

[zulchzulu]

30. She is doing great so far

I wasn't a big fan during the primaries, but she really is doing a great job cleaning up the Dubya messes and is seen very positively by the rest of the World. It was a stroke of genius on Obama's part to have her as SOS.

[rucky]

31. who painted her?

sorry. poor impulse control.

[biopowertoday]

52. I know you will try harder next time and bring honor to DU.

[damntexdem]

32. Yeah, she's really found her calling.

She should thank President Obama from keeping her from vying for the wrong job for her.

;-)

[Beacool]

36. It was NOT the wrong job for her.

Furthermore, hopefully she gives it another try in the future.

;)

[SuperTrouper]

37. She will...in 2016 it will be Madame President. nt

[Beacool]

39. Hear, hear!!!

:woohoo:

[biopowertoday]

57. wish I could Rec your post but a bump will do:-)

[Beacool]

65. Thanks!!!

:pals:

[biopowertoday]

50. get a life.

[Beacool]

60. Yeah, good advice.

A couple of guys below should take the same suggestion.

:eyes:

[PopSixSquish]

43. Beauty or Serenity?

True beauty comes from within and I see a woman doing a job she clearly enjoys working for a President who has the upmost respect for her ability. Almost every picture of her these days has her smiling. Bravo Madam Secretary and Bravo Mr. President.

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. I remember when George Schultz flowered as Secretary of State

He was the most beautiful SOS at the whole cotillion!

:rofl:

[ClarkUSA]

53. bwahahaha!

:rofl:

[Beacool]

56. What a surprise.............NOT!!!

Two haters who can't help but always crap on any positive Clinton post.

You two should join hands and go play in traffic.

:thumbsdown:

[alcibiades_mystery]

61. I love "....NOT!"

It's so 90's.

:rofl:

[Beacool]

62. Your snarky comments.........

They are so last year.

:rofl:

[alcibiades_mystery]

70. I don't know why you would shit on George Schultz's parade

The man looked wonderful in a formal gown.

Shouldn't you be watching reruns of 90210 or something?

[Beacool]

71. Sweatheart............

You're not worth my time.

Shoo and go play with the other kids in 8th grade.

:eyes:

[alcibiades_mystery]

79. Sweathogs!

:rofl:

[Jakes Progress]

72. Just wait.

Pretty soon they will start accusing you of refighting the primaries. The Hooters crowd hangs around DU just to get a chance to snark on any Clinton thread. Sad but predictable.

[Beacool]

74. Yep,

That they do. I don't know what they would do if they couldn't vent their vile.

:crazy:

[ronnykmarshall]

90. No shit.

[K Gardner]

63. I thought the same thing when I saw her interview today. She and this job were an excellent match.

[Perky]

66. Afterall Flowering and radiant is what we need in a Secretary of State,

UGH

[biopowertoday]

83. yes, it is. better than grumpy oh "UGH"

[Jennicut]

75. I think she is going a great job and looks relaxed and happy lately.

That always makes a person look beautiful-when they are happy at what they are doing. I have had no problems with her so far and I always supported Obama in the primaries.

[quickesst]

80. I agree.....

....as for several replies to your thread, it's the Fever. Symptoms start with....:-( ..then progress to...;( ...the third stage...:crazy: ...to..:mad: If they don't...:nuke: ...they end up looking like....:+:+:+. It's not contagious, but does at times provide some.... :rofl: Thanks.
