Photos: Hillary Clinton with the People

Among the things we love so much about our Secretary of State are the way she appreciates those who provide support to her important work and her efforts to reach out to the people in the countries she visits. It is not just Hillary reaching out. When she extends her hand, flashes her smile, it is in place of all of us. She is our face to the world, and it is an open, warm, smiling, and loving face. She makes us look good.

Below we see her thanking the staff that supported the second round of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing, and having tea with women activists in Beijing. I am only guessing, but am willing to bet that a few of those women have known her for at least 14 years. Yes, she was well-qualified for SOS right from the start!
