Here's a photo summary of Secretary Clinton at this weekend's 60th-anniversary NATO summit in Strasbourg, France, and the German cities of Baden-Baden and Kehl:

She's earned her stripes: Clinton arrives at the opening of the NATO summit at the Kurhaus on April 3 in Baden-Baden. Heads of state, foreign ministers, and defense ministers of the 28 NATO member countries participated in the summit from April 3 to 4 to mark the 60th anniversary of the transatlantic military and political organization.

This photo isn't from the NATO summit, but I threw it in because it's from Clinton's European visit: European foreign ministers pose with Clinton for a group picture on April 5 during the EU-U.S. summit in Prague, Czech Republic.

Pink Power

Pink power is the most beautiful one. Although politically different from me, I can't help feel somewhat happy about these two in power.

Was there any coverage of statements made by Hillary during this whole trip? I'm hard pressed to think of any.

Zero. And it's getting really depressing. I no longer pay attention to anything political because of it. Quite frankly, ever since this primary, i've lost all hope and basically no longer care about people or what goes on in the world. People are losers. They get what they deserve. :(. It's one of the reasons i barely come to this website even though i think preeti is doing an awesome job. It's just too depressing to see Hillary do all these amazing things and she will never ever ever get credit for anything she accomplishes in this administration.

Cheer up, girl!

Annie, cheer up, girl! :-)

If you are waiting for the MSM to cover Hillary, you'll be waiting a long time. The only thing they are interested in is any small mistake she might make pronouncing someone's name in a foreign language or whatever. You have to look on the internet for Hillary news.

So, go here for starters:

to read some of the (not-covered-by-our-Hillary-hating-MSM) interviews she gave all over the known world last week.

pretty in pink

I have to say, I am personally not a fan of the color pink but she really looks great in it.

I remember reading a quote from her about 10 years ago saying that she doesn't have "the fashion gene"- but that sure isn't the case now- she is quite the fashion plate!

I've also been thinking

I've also been thinking lately that the fashion gene did not miss her at all. She looks beautiful in all her rainbow of colors and textures. I think she's very stylish, and her style is quite appropriate for her.

No I don't think she released any statements on this leg of the trip. In the Netherlands she did because she was there as SoS representing us. From the time she landed in London, she was acting in the capacity of part of Obama's staff. She sent most of her staff home in her plane (somebody called it Hill Force One - I love that!), and she appears to have enjoyed being in the spotlight without being "on the spot."

She clearly has a lot of influence and looked beautiful at all the events. Whatever they thought of Obama, I think Europe loves Hillary (like we do).
