Vanity Fair‘s June issue contains a new profile of Hillary Clinton by Jonathan Alter. It is, like the various feature articles we have seen about HRC since she has been Secretary of State, part behind-the-scenes information, and part explanation and admiration of the job she is doing. As with the other feature articles about Hillary, the fact that I read this online will not prevent me from hopping the highway to Barnes and Noble to purchase my collector’s copy. Thank you, Mr. Alter! Nice article!

Woman of the World
In her ninth year as America’s most admired woman, Hillary Clinton is dealing with radical change across the globe, as well as trying to transform U.S. diplomacy on the nuts-and-coffee level. But despite the secretary of state’s punishing pace—half a million miles in her Boeing 757—and the complex relationship between her and President Obama, Clinton seems clear about what she can (and can’t) accomplish, and, as Jonathan Alter reports, her friends are clear about something else: Madam Secretary is in her element.

She is the most great example of American woman for being so accomplished & she is always humble for that…she was my candidate during the 2008 I felt dismayed~never find another like her with so much things to offer for our country….Wishing all the best for her & Happy mother’s Day!

Hillary’s personal connection to Sarkozy helped cement the coalition. In 2010, Sarkozy had gallantly steadied her after a shoe had come off her foot as she climbed the stone steps of the Élysée Palace. (“I may not be Cinderella but you’re certainly my Prince Charming!” Hillary inscribed a photo, which sits in his office.) Now, over mixed fruit and chocolate, the French president took the normal diplomatic flattery a step further in their “bilat” (diplo-speak for bilateral talks). “Hillary, I always like being with you,” he told her. “You are tough. You are smart. You are a good person.”
