You Can Text Your Disaster Relief Donation for Pakistan
Hillary "Now, Americans can use technology to help, as well. Using your cell phones, Americans can text the word 'swat' -- to the number 20222 and make a $5 contribution that will help the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees provide tents, clothing, food, and medicine to hundreds of thousands of affected people. And before I came over here, we did that in the State Department. So we are making some of the first donations to this fund."

Hillary Gives Commencement Speech at NYU
Clinton, however, who urged the hopeful grads to look at the global economic crisis not as an excuse, but as an opportunity to make the world a better place."This is your moment," Clinton said from a stage set up atop second base. "You have made it to the big leagues and you are up to bat."
The former first lady beseeched the 6,000 grads to become "citizen diplomats" in a world increasingly bound together by technology and common economic interests.
"My message to you today is this: be the special envoy of your ideals," Clinton said. "By creating your own networks, you can extend the power of governments to meet the needs of this and future generations."

Hillary Clinton beats Obama in job approval ratings
Washington, May. 4 : After finishing 100 days in the office, US Secretary of state Hilary Clinton has trumped President Barack Obama in job approval ratings.
A recent polls shows Clinton having an approval rating of 71 percent, while the the President has a 65 percent approval rating.
"She's acting like a statesman and diplomat and representing her President instead of herself. She hasn't gone off on her own as many predicted. It's been very rehabilitating for her image," said a prominent Democrat on the former presidential candidate.
The Daily News quotes experts as saying that her former president husband, Bill Clinton, has helped in revamping her image.
Hillary also has labored to smooth over lingering rifts from the campaign with Obama and his inner circle, most notably First Lady Michelle Obama.
Declaring a truce at Foggy Bottom in March, Obama joked about her refusal during the campaign to mention Clinton's name, calling her "the other candidate." With a grin, Obama said, "Let me thank Secretary Clinton - I love saying that!"
Former National Security Council member Elliott Abrams opines that Obama has absorbed much of the foreign policy flak that would have gone Clinton's way.
Obama has piled the diplomatic plate high for Clinton, tasking her with risky openings to Iran and Cuba, while getting North Korea to disarm, putting down the Taliban threat in Pakistan and bringing the Israelis and Palestinians back to negotiations.
Clinton said she would give priority to "acknowledging our own errors where we have made them, which will serve as an example to others to do the same."
"Clinton is using her political talents in the building. Morale is good. And she's playing well with others. Unlike former Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, who was barely civil to Bush Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice," said Abrams.
Even Republicans are lauding the new and improved Hilary Clinton.
"It's nice to see the relationship the two of you have built...and I'm very pleased with what you're doing," Senator George Voinovich told Clinton and Gates. (From the ANI)

100 Days of Hillary
One hundred days of Hillary: State Department trumpets Clinton's achievements
By MATTHEW LEE , Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Friday marks Hillary Rodham Clinton's 100th day as the top U.S. diplomat and the State Department is commemorating the occasion with a 13-page list praising what it considers her early achievements.
The lengthy document posted on the department's Web site this week extols the secretary of state's hectic travel abroad and the appointments of four high-profile special envoys to deal with trouble spots and climate change.
The assessment says "early and significant progress" has already been achieved in Afghanistan-Pakistan policy, the Middle East, Iraq, Asia, Russia, North Korea, Latin America, climate change and public diplomacy through the use of new media.
Compiled by the department's public affairs staff with help from the State's regional and other bureaus, the document notes that the Obama administration "inherited a gathering global storm: riots, protests, long lines of unemployed and increasingly desperate people around the world."
Even in her first 100 days, the document contends, "Secretary Clinton and the State Department have made significant progress in advancing America's national security goals and promoting America's values around the world."
"We must seize this moment to advance and begin to deliver on a positive global agenda," the State document concludes.
The report then goes on to add that Clinton and her team have done exactly that. (from the LATimes)
