After all the excitement of last weekend and the flurry of pictures we were all so delighted to see, the past week was a bit of a pictorial famine with the exception of Tuesday when Secretary Clinton delivered two speeches, one of which electrified all who heard it. Knowing that my readers are probably going through early stages of withdrawal just about now, I thought I would share a few of my favorite pictures from the week in DC.
Thursday: With Nigerian Foreign Minister Henry Odein Ajumogobia
Wednesday: At the State Department with Senator Kerry and General Mattis (Was that cushion always there? We had noticed not long ago that the sofa was a bit large for the petite secretarial frame.)
Also Wednesday, she and USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah briefed the press on U.S. relief to flood-stricken areas of Pakistan. Once again she has a way to donate via your cell phone. Her words:
Using your cell phones, you can text the word “SWAT” – s-w-a-t – to the number 50555. And you will make a $10 contribution that will help the UN High Commissioner for Refugees provide tents, clothing, food, clean drinking water, and medicine to people displaced by floods. When prompted, reply with “yes” – y-e-s – to confirm your gift. I just texted a contribution myself, because we know from our own experience, particularly in Haiti, small donations can add up to make a big difference.
Then, of course, there are these lovely photos from Tuesday when she spoke to the young African leaders and blew us all away with her tightly woven address that contained all of her major initiatives and issues. In case you missed it, I have linked it here.
It even looks like Hillary was coordinating a color of that cell phone with the color of her pantsuit. Just wondering is she did it purposely or it was only an accident.

Wasn’t she wearing blue a week or so ago and carrying a blue phone?

Yes, she was. I’m wondering if she coordinates everything, or if it was just coincidence.

Why do I have a feeling she coordinates everything? It just seems so in character for the woman who arranges her papers so carefully when she sits on a panel.
Color coordinated blue phone.

Well, I don’t know about everything. 😉 She may have a few little surprises that are for Bill’s eyes only.
I had been doing through Hillary withdrawal. Thanks for the fix.

True, she might … probably does! I was also in withdrawal! I found most of these at the State Dept. Flickr account – they’re mostly new to me. There were not a lot of new pics at Daylife this week, and Ididn’t like or post the only one they had w/ the Nigerian FM. Bad angle.
Is that cushion new? She didn’t have that cushion the last time she was on that sofa, did she?

The cushion is not new, but she needs another. These photos are kinder than the last batch.

She needs another or a bigger one. She still doesn’t quite fit on that sofa.

I guess they didn’t realize the SOS was so compact.

It seems to me that Hillary does do it purposely, at least that picture confirms this theory.

LOL!!!! She’s so cute! This totally cracks me up. She has a wardrobe of phones? Who, but Hillary, would THINK of such a thing?

Maybe Huma has her fingers into this little coordination.

I don’t know who is responsible, but this picture you shared cracks me up. That was the day she whipped out the cell phone after Robert Gibbs collected some reporter’s phone and banned phones from the press room. Hillary held it up and said, “This is a cell phone….” The room expoded with laughter.
