Subscribe to RSSOne month after she took ill, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton returned to her busy schedule, and will prepare to testify on the Benghazi terror attack that killed four Americans. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton received a standing ovation on her first day back at work since she suffered a concussion and was diagnosed with a blood clot in December.
Her staff presented her with two gifts: A football helmet emblazoned with the State Department logo, paired with a football jersey with the number 112 across the back, for the number of countries the secretary has visited during her four-year tenure.
Her deputy noted that Washington is a contact sport.
A photo released by the State Department showed Clinton hoisting the helmet into the air after pulling it out of a box.

A paper bag would be better protection - so we don't have to see that face.
What do you think ol slick willy has used all these years ! Bill was on a ladder and trying to nail a piece of wood up and hit himself with the hammer and said OH F--- and Hillary said I know get the paper bag Get the paper bag !
Hahahaha took the words out of my mouth...
When are they going to sweep Benghazi under the rug or have they done that already ? Bet she doesn't testify and I bet the government has thought that "We The People" Have forgotten about it !
Shows she was well liked by her staff and that she can also take a joke!!!
So ole fat azz leaves the hospital with an entourage and no wheelchair, she makes a miraculous recovery from a life threatening blood clot and returns to work just days after, and there's no speech or occupational therapy.
This whole thing is a scam.
When it comes to the Clintons, nothing is to be believed, including this phony event.
Dr. Lies,
Stick to your piss poor posting. Because you know nothing about medicine! A blood clot in the brain does not require speech or any other type of therapy! And I' bet $110.00 right now she'll testify!
Lies,
Don't know nothing, hell, look at this guy screen name.
His comments is spoken like a true tea party nut. Guess what Lies, Obama is the president and there is not a damn thing your sorry behind can do about it. Well, besides come on FR and whine n complain. You got 4 more yrs to do that..
Make that $111.00 and I bet we get the same outcome as Fast and Furious.
Didn't special Ed on Comedy Central wear a helmet to so he wouldn't get hurt?
Hilary on;)y needs to ask her husband, Bill, about D.C. being a contact sport area and I wonder what the amount
of pensions taxpayers will pay for just those government employees in the picture clapping for Hilary totals. Time for government to forget the pensions and let employees handle their own retirements.
You can bet someone will expense that off and the tax payers will pay for it anyway Clinton is back at work get to answering some questions beatch we have 4 dead Americans you aloowed to be killed no more dodging
If he would spend as much time with his family as on the golf course he would have enough time now.
Welcome back Hillary! Take the earned rest and get ready for 2016. As president, make Barack Obama a Supreme Court justice with the first opening.
Frank, you are a scary dude!
Gross...
Does this helmet also have some sort of immunity cloak to keep her from testifying about what she knew about Americans being killed in Benghazi?
Welcome back Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with open arms. Keep up good works for America and keep moving forward. Whatever you do, never compromise with incompetent deadweights. From California with Love.
Hillory has been one helluva public servant, we need more like her.
Madame Secretary has served her country well and with great dignity. We are in her debt. God Bless her.
Wonder who paid for that helmet & jersey? More taxpayer dollars wasted.
fidding while Rome is burning... these comments are so pathetic! How anyone can stand up for this administration and then want more of the same? Holy crow! Talk about brainwashed.... WHACK - thank you sir, may I have another? WHACK - thank you sir, may I have another? I will agree with anyone who says Hillary would have made a much better president than this one - geez, over his head doesn't even come close to stating the obvious... She had the experience and the know-how. But nope, you racist democrats couldn't give it to a woman....
"you racist democrats couldn't give it to a woman"
Really Conservative? Really!?!?!?!!? That must be why huge majorities of brown people voted Democratic in the last election, because they are SOooooooooo racist.
If you believe any of what you wrote then it is YOU that is brainwashed. And please, by all means, ask your republican obstructionist friends for a little more PORK in the next bill that they hold hostage.
By the time the fiscal cliff bill was signed, more corporations got an INCREASE in tax breaks.
The 112 stands for how many times that Chinless Mitch McConnell has appeared on Meet the Press without answering a question.
Why attack a woman with more balls than the senate minority leader?
The helmet is a good thing because as long as the Tea Potty rules, a lot of obstructionist, moronic, circular firing squad-type bashing is going to take place.
Billy, Can you tell me what the Tea Party rules because from what I see there aren't that many to make a difference. Try not to be so parnoid about your govt. money going away will you?
Ozzie,
It only takes one a-hole GOP Tea Pottier to throw up a filibuster.
Billy, Billy, You libs act like the filibuster is a brand new thing but it would take Harry Reid pulling his head out of the Presidents ass and presenting a bill to vote on for there to be a filibuster anyway.
Isn't it freakin' great! President on holiday and these clowns laughing it up while the country is in the tank! Wait until Hillary gets HER hospital bill ... then she'll know what the rest of the country has to deal with. Yeah right!
Hey GOP tards
She is going to be your next pres,,,haha hehe hoho
You'll be the next biker who gets his ass kicked for voting the dumb ticket. We'll march on a river of your bones.
112 is the number of dead bodies in the wake of the Clinton legacy, or her IQ, but I would not
have guessed that high.
The helmet---nice gesture, humerous gift. Just by looking at her diverse staff, one could never confuse the picture as being a Republican gathering. The Repubs would have twelve white guys in stuffed shirts and none of them under 65 years old. Soon after the most recent Presidential election, the Repubs set up 17 different commissions, one of them I'm sure, to find out why they were so soundly trounced by President Obama. Anyway, all 17 commissions are being chaired by 17 white guys---go figure!!! Yep, they still don't get it. They can't see why they're so out of the mainstream. Getting beaten in the next two or three Presidential elections going forward---they just may see the light. Diversity, diversity, diversity, that's the America going forward. And don't harp on the national debt---that will never be paid off.
Hey Elmer since you're so down on old white men tell me who do you think instituted all the social programs that you libs cherish so much? Unless what your saying is that all these programs are actually holding the people of color down.
Hey Elmer, you don't mind 68% of the population being represented do you? That's right, 68% white. Half of those men. Men outnumber women in the legal practice. You don't mind educated white men who are prepared for top jobs getting them do you? Well Elmer, do you?
Hillary does not lie..., never has. The helmet is funny because she fell and hit her head. FACT
I think her staff missed a great opportunity though. They should have given her a bullet proof flak jacket too, to commemorate that time she "was dodging bullets" getting off that plane. Remember that? FACT
Hillary never lies. I am personally offended anyone would pretend she would.
You either forgot the /sarc tag or you're in the hospital being prepared for surgery (all ethered up).
I am personally offended by you Oscar - FACT. And I never lie.
sooooooo oscar the clintons didn't lie about whitewater? look that info up my friend, hell , their whole marriage is a lie, bill clinton has never changed , she only stayed with him so she could get a short cut up the political ladder. and here she is..............same old @#$%
Maybe she'll get a pink slip at the next presentation. What a legacy of deceit the Clinton's have left to this nation.
Hey tea tards
You,ass holes are gone and Hillary will be your next pres....
politics aside, glad she is alright.
What a wonderful job the media is doing to spin Hillary back to optimal functioning after she collapsed and banged her head.
Folks, this woman is in decline. She needs to quietly retire and return to private life. She needs to forget about any run for the Presidency.
Sounds like that what she doing.. Rest up, and then come back and kick some Repukes ass.
Poor Joe, you and your Right-wingers are afraid of Ms Hillary because as Newt Gingrich said, "The Republicans don't have anybody who could beat her in 2016".... There is going to be 16 years in a row having a Democrat in the White House. That will be enough time to finally clean up the mess that Bush left behind.
and you can get more welfare
