Hillary: 62 and Finally Popular


HILLARY CLINTON SMILES X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton celebrates her 62nd birthday on Monday, but the busy politician will not be taking the day off work.

According to the U.S. Department of State’s website, Clinton will spend the day briefing about civil hiring in Afghanistan, meeting with Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, and holding a special press conference on the release of the 2009 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom.

Clinton has a lot to celebrate as her approval rating has soared, rising even higher than President Obama's.

Following a recent trip to Europe, Gallup reports that the secretary of State is now posting a 62% approval rating, compared to Obama’s 56%.

"Clinton's current favorable rating ranks among her best in the 17 years Gallup has polled Americans about her,” said the organization, reportsthe Los Angeles Times.

There is no official word on how the former senator plans to celebrate her birthday.

    I agree that America missed its golden opportunity in 2008, and that the Obat team engaged in caucus fraud and campaign smearing of Hillary, all of which cost us the chance to have the best President this country has ever had. However - I don't see why 2012 or 2016, her choice, can't make up for 2008. If you believe, as I do, that this country needs Hillary, start working on this right now - tell your friends; get ready to campaign; wear your Hillary for Pres gear so that people get used to the idea .... If they knock you down, get back up, dust yourself off and get going again.

    Hillary Clinton turns 62 on October 26.The age is quite crucial for her.Because it adds up to 8(6+2=8) .She was born on October 26, 1947. Her birth number is 8 (2 + 6 = 8) It is seen that number 8 has a strong influence on Hillary. To begin with, she was officially nominated to run for New York Senate seat on May 17, 2000 (1 + 7 = 8) After winning the election, she became a Member of the 107th Senate (1 + 0 + 7 = 8). She is the US Secretary of State under the 44th(4+4=8) US President. She was appointed Secretary of State on December 1.On December 1,she was 61 years and 37 days old.The age adds up to 8(61+ 37=98,9 +8=17,1+ 7=8).The name "Hillary Clinton" carries the occult number 44 that adds up to 8

    I still don't see why she is deemed "polarizing." I find her to be decisive...but I guess a decisive woman is still a bitch in our country. She was treated like shit during the elections and no one made a peep. They were too busy worshipping and protecting the phalluses in the election. Happy Birthday Capital Hill.

    finally popular??? Hillary Clinton's popularity had been near 60% for several years until the Obama campaign unleashed its minions of lying supporters who tried to paint her as some sort of wingnut, power mad, racist causing her rating to fall into the 40's. So now it's back to where it was. As they say, the cream always rises to the top.
