As Bill speaks, Hillary Clinton is half a world away
(CNN) - When Bill Clinton takes the podium at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday evening his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will be half a world away - literally - meeting with the leaders of the tiny nation of East Timor.
Hillary Clinton, who hasn't missed a Democratic convention in four decades, is on an 11-day swing through the Asia-Pacific region, visiting a number of counties, including China and Indonesia, and standing in for President Barack Obama at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum later this week in Russia. Obama bowed out because of the election campaign.

If Obama had lost in 2008, I would have been the first to vote for Clinton.
As it is, I will be the first in line to vote for her should she run in 2016.
I found it amazing and disgraceful that the press gave Condi Rice a huge pass on her subtle war-mongering speech.
Hillary Clinton>>>>>>>>>>Rice in my book.
In my view only Colin Powell has credibilty among that adminstration.
But we see what happened when he spoke up and added some sensability to the room.
She's always on the job.
and for Bill that's not far enough............................!
Can you blame her? I'd avoid that freak show like the plague, too.
World is too close now....
she is not agin well, to bad as she has the money to look better than she has thse past four years...not fun growning old, but dang at least get your hair done...she use to always have neat hair styles!!!
clinton the loser goes to china to hid from obama's sinking
Let the INTERNS roll in !!!!!
Too bad Hillary wasn't elected President. She'd be far more effective than the amateur in chief we have occupying the White House now. Stay away, Hillary, and don't let this little league player tarnish your reputation for 2016.
Our President and Secretary of State have no credibility anywhere in the world. How sad.
Well someone has to do the country's business, while obama is campaigning!
We love you Hillary....
