Hillary Clinton's Plan for 2016: Beaches and Speeches
By Julie Moos - Politics DailyTwo years into her term as secretary of state, former first lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke with Harper's Bazaar about her favorite TV shows, becoming a grandmother and women in politics. She also may have taken some measure of credit for the Obama administration's success in passing health care reform legislation, a cause she lobbied for in 1993 and 1994 to the detriment of her reputation. Clinton tells the magazine that she doesn't give much thought to how she's perceived, and believes some disapproval of her is a result of the issues she championed. "Like, for ...
Chelsea Clinton in New York, Marc Mezvinsky in Wyoming, Still a 'Very Happy' Couple, Friend Says
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyIs the state of the union of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, her husband of barely seven months, solid? "The couple are very happy," a family friend told Politics Daily, in response to questions raised in media reports about why the two are currently living nearly 1,900 miles apart. Clinton, 30, is in Manhattan pursuing her doctorate in public policy at New York University, while Mezvinsky, 34, who recently quit his financial sector job at G3 Capital, is spending a few months skiing and snowboarding in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The National Enquirer cited a "close" ...
Hillary Clinton for Joe Biden Swap? Woodward Says Maybe, but She Says No Way
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThe White House has emphatically denied any notion that Hillary Clinton will replace Joe Biden as President Obama's running mate in 2012. On top of that, the secretary of state herself has pooh-poohed the idea. The latest wave of Hillary buzz was amplified Tuesday night when Bob Woodward, author of the new book "Obama's Wars," told CNN's John King that a possible Obama-Clinton ticket is "on the table." The idea is that Clinton would energize a 2012 campaign -- particularly among women. In some scenarios, Biden, former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would take over as ...

"Egypt will host the second round of . . . negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh," Egypt's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki said in a statement carried by the state news agency MENA. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who began talks in Washington last week, will meet again in Egypt. A State Department official told Agence France-Presse that special envoy ...
Hillary Clinton for Vice President in 2012? Biden 'Trade Talk' Murmur Could Swell
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyWashington's chattering class, never timid about giving advice to the president of the United States, is floating the idea of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton becoming Barack Obama's running mate in two years. Time magazine, in an item Wednesday on its website, said Obama perhaps should consider the proposition -- "dump Biden" would be part of it -- as he begins planning for his reelection bid in 2012. "Amid two wars, a stubborn unemployment rate, an oil spill . . . might the White House need a little star power to jump-start what could be a tougher reelection than expected?" writes ...
President Obama Won't Attend Chelsea Clinton's Wedding
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyWell, now we know who won't be attending Chelsea Clinton's wedding on Saturday – wherever it takes place. That would be President Obama. Asked at the end of Monday's White House press briefing if the president would be at the nuptials for Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, Robert Gibbs answered "no." Previously, Gibbs had said he didn't know if the president would attend. So, that much is clear, even if little else is. The wedding of the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mezvinsky, himself the offspring of former politicians, will ...
Hillary Clinton: Parents of the Bride Will Be Emotional
By Lisa Flam - AOL News(July 19) -- Here come the tears. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she and former President Bill Clinton are very happy for the end-of-the-month wedding of their only child, Chelsea, though she knows they'll be emotional at the happy occasion. "You should assume that if he makes it down the aisle in one piece, it's going to be a major accomplishment," the secretary of state said of the former president in an NBC interview. "He is going to be so emotional, as am I." Chelsea Clinton, 30, a graduate student at Columbia University, is marrying investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, 32, on ...
Chelsea Clinton's A-List Wedding: Few Details, Many Questions
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyTo the roaring, screeching Amtrak trains approaching Rhinecliff station from the north or south, add the occasional thwack-thwack-thwack of helicopter rotors. Do those choppers carry Secret Service agents trying to secure the entrance to Astor Courts, the Versailles-inspired private mansion above the Hudson River, where former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is set to marry investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, her great pal since their teenage days in Washington who became so very much more in recent years? Or have those whirlybirds been hired by TV crews and reporters seeking dramatic aerial ...
Astor Courts: 9 Key Facts About Chelsea's Rhinebeck, NY, Wedding Spot
By Dana Chivvis - AOL News(July 15) -- Given the 500-person guest list for Chelsea Clinton's impending nuptials to Marc Mezvinsky on July 31, it would suit her well to have her wedding at the Astor mansion in Rhinebeck, N.Y., as rumors predict. The century-old mansion, formally referred to as Astor Courts or Ferncliff Casino, is a quintessentially massive and grand product of the Gilded Age. As venues go, it would also draw a clear contrast with the backwoods bonanza that Bristol Palin has in mind for her wedding to Levi Johnston (who reportedly will be wearing camo) on some unidentified date this summer. Below, ...
Clintons Will Have a Big Say in Haiti's Future
By Emily Troutman - AOL NewsPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (July 14) -- In this city, it is called the Interim Haitian Recovery Commission. But in Washington, skeptical insiders have dubbed it "the Bill and Hillary Fund." The Interim Haitian Recovery Commission (IHRC) was created by an official decree of President Rene Preval in April and will be a joint Haitian and international advisory board to oversee distribution of funds for Haiti's earthquake recovery. At a U.N. donors' conference in March, the international community pledged $5.3 billion to this effort. The IHRC's mission is to "seek coordinated, effective and ...
