3rd Annual Hillary Rodham Clinton Year in Review: Installment V May 2011

May started with a very big bang and a little controversy over some publications removing women, HRC being the prominent one,  from a picture of the principals in the Situation Room as Seal Team Eight removed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.   HRC was right when, in Pakistan in October 2009,  she said that he was hiding there.  May saw articles about her in Time and Vanity Fair, and an interview in The Atlantic.   An interview with Julia Roberts, and a special, "Extraordinary Moms," featuring Mme. Secretary aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

A huge U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue took place in Washington, and Mme. Secretary was heavily involved hosting functions at the State Department.  Victoria Nuland was appointed Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs replacing P.J. Crowley, and Anne Patterson, former ambassador to Pakistan,  was named ambassador to Egypt replacing Margaret Scobey.

An on-again off-again trip to Pakistan was on again, and then she was home in Chappaqua marching in the Memorial Day Parade!
