Hubby giving huge speech. Boss getting nominating and fighting for his job. Your fighting for your job. Hillary Clinton, where are you going to be during the democratic Party convention?
"Why, I'm going to the Cook Islands and Indonesia".
From Foreignpolicy.com: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a sitting administration official, does not
have any role at the Democratic National Convention next week in Charlotte. But
she seems to gone out of her way to avoid the festivities, as she is traveling
this week and next to the Cook Islands, Indonesia, China, Timor-Leste,
Brunei, and Russia.
"The Cook Islands this year are the
hosts of one of the most important institutions of the Pacific called the Pacific
Island Forum," a senior State Department official said Thursday. "It's a
group that meets yearly with a number of working groups. It's been in
existence almost half a century; it's very significant."
It's not Charlotte, but it is a big
gathering. Last year, the administration sent 50 officials to the forum,
representing 17 different federal agencies. Deputy Secretary of State Tom Nides led the delegation in 2011.
The official said this trip was part of the administration's rebalancing toward
Asia, with a special focus on the smaller countries around the region's periphery.
"Sometimes when we talk about the
Asia Pacific, the A is the capital and P is small. And our attempt here is
to underscore that we have very strong, enduring, strategic, moral, political,
humanitarian interests across the region. It's an area in which we
invested substantially historically -- blood and treasure," the official said.

We know she is going to run in 2016 and she is already staying away from Obama. Thousands of miles away from him.
