Hillary Gets Funky...Sort Of

A recent photo in the Washington Post shows Barack Obama's head speech writer, Jon Favreau, engaging in inappropriate acts with a cardboard version of Hillary Clinton. One of those acts involves groping the fake Senator and the other involves dancing with her. The pictures appeared on the speech writers Facebook for a brief amount of time and were then taken off, but of course someone discovered them prior to their removal and they ended up in the Post. This article has brought attention to the previous frequent claims of sexism that were brought against the Obama campaign during the primaries. Although the event will likely not produce too much of a backlash, as the future Secretary of State has already responded to the incident in a humorous way, it is interesting to note the minimal media coverage of this event as it truly does seem to point to the media being in favor of Obama. Either way the incident makes for a funny sidenote to the not yet in place Obama administration. By the way, the link includes the picture...check it out.

The pick of Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State still has many wondering whether Obama made the right decision or not. Current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice predicts Clinton will "do a great job" in succeeding her as Secretary of State. Hillary also seems to have the support of America Ferrera, the star from the tv show "ugly betty", who is helping Hillary pay off the seven and a half million dollar debt that she accumulated during the campaign.
On the other hand, Saturday Night Live has turned its attention on the Clintons. Without Sarah Palin to poke fun of, it seems that SNL has been forced to turn its attention the Clintons. Saturday Night Live criticized Obama's choice by stating that although the U.S. voted for change, what it got was more of the Clintons.
While Hillary is preparing to work as Secretary of State here in the U.S., Bill Clinton recently made a trip to Malaysia to speak for a Malaysian business man Vinod Sekhar. Bill was apparently paid 200,000 dollars to speak before a crowd of three thousand. Although Bill told the crowd they should be proud of Vinod Sekhar, others felt Sekhar was only using Bill to attract new investors. After helping Obama get elected, Bill has now gone back to conducting business as usual.
