Hillary is just perfect for the "smile and greet" ceremonial role assigned to her, while others do the real work of internaitonal policy and diplomacy.... Biden, Jones, Gates, Power, Susan Rice and the special envoys, and even Bubba to her rescue.

Some great shots of Madam Secretary. It is never easy taking pictures of someone who is speaking. Numbers 5 and 9 are my favorite of Clinton; 8 is a great photo.
