I don't trust Obama to compliment Hillary simply because she deserves it. He's got to have some ulterior motive or else it's a payback for Bill's help last week. Or am I too cynical?

There is a growing bipartisan consensus that Hillary Clinton is the best ever Secretary of State, US President Barack Obama has said. His decision to appoint Clinton as the Secretary of State was one of his better decisions, the US President has said. Obama who made a rare appearance at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the State Department to attend the holiday reception party hosted by the Washington's vibrant diplomatic community by Clinton said, "I think there's a consensus building that this may be one of the best Secretaries of State we've ever had in this country’s history."
"One of my better decisions," he said amidst laughter.

"It is a bipartisan view, by the way. That doesn't happen very often," Obama said about Clinton, who till early 2008 was one of his bitter political rivals.

Clinton is relentless, is tough and does not quit, Obama said adding, "She recently pulled off what one journalist called "a Central Asian hat trick" —- she went to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan -- and then she threw in as a bonus, Bahrain,".

"Because of the time differences, she was able to accomplish this all in one day," he said.

She recently cautioned foreign publics against watching too much American TV, because, she said, you'd think that we Americans spend all our time "wrestling and wearing bikinis," Obama said amidst another round of laughter from the diplomatic corps.

"So, thank you, Secretary Clinton, for your leadership, for your sense of humour, for your incredible dedication to our national security -- more broadly, your incredible dedication to a world that's more peaceful and secure and provides opportunity for all," he said.

If you're cynical, then so am I. lol It makes me wonder if Hillary has dropped a hint that she's resigning, so he's complimenting her to make her want to stay.

Could be. Those remarks sound soooo out of character for Obama. He isn't someone who delivers compliments to the people around him. He doesn't even talk that nice about his own wife! It's like an old episode of Little House on the Prairie-- whenever Nellie Oleson was nice to Half Pint, you knew there was some grand scheme behind it. But Hillary isn't some naive kid, so whatever it is I'm sure she won't fall for it.
