Thanks VH, That's a fantastic post. Yes, she is the absolute best. She ALWAYS puts the country first. Always. And she gives it, gives us, her all. She is the very best.
That's why it is easy to love her.
That is also very unusual. A lot of people who are driven by self-interest cannot relate to it and keep looking for ulterior motives where there really was not any. So, they make it up. They attribute to her motives and self-interest... where there werent any.
But the thing about leadership is, do the right things... and you automatically elevate yourself and your standing whether or not you intended to do so. That is exactly what has happened.
She has excelled in performance despite all its complexities in a highly visible and important role, with complete focus on the country. That is ultimate recipe for success. But she has not done that with the intent for personal success.. rather for the success of the country and global peace and equality. She has embraced the national interest with her personal principles.
She is truly a pleasure to read and follow.
Here is a raw video clip of Hillary's arrival... (including Hillary's famous laugh).
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Monday, the final stop of a tour that began on Thursday in Ukraine and also took her to Poland, Azerbaijan and Armenia (July 5)
And here is an Associated Press composite clip from this visit to Georgia.

Thanks so much for posting this, VH. Some accused Hillary of "selling out" when she agreed to be SOS. But, I think while most of us PUMA/Hill Fans hated to see her have to work for the man who stole the nomination from her, we recognized that she was being the bigger person and the true patriot. I'm very proud of Hillary Clinton. Such and inspiration. Such a stateswoman!
