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.

Lets just hope it knocked some sense into her, but I seriously doubt it!
Maybe she can QB the Ravens this weekend against Denver, Joe Flaccid will blow as usual.....
Hey,all you simple minded GOP Tards,
Now that you have four more years to suffer as our country improves,and moves forward,what will you do when Hillary has two ters?
Haha hehe hoho. Dam you fawkers blow
Suffer on to me my retarded children.
Don't you have your husband to pick up or something?
Harley,
Typical liberal "compassion".............Making fun of retarded children.
Liberalism is a hoax, a lie and a waste of money.....Other peoples' money!!
Oh, and Harley............Talk to me about JEW ASS kissers.
So, there you have it, my Jewish friends. Just look at your fellow LIBERAL. He just LOVES you. Why do you all keep voting DEMOCRAT???
Football American stupidity
Yeah we will be laughing with you all the way back to next Benghazi hearing. And then not so much.
Wake up people. Your and my taxes are going up. And while in the big picture this may be minor. but wasting our tax money on a custom football helmet which is nohing but a joke gift is irritating. Maybe you dont care how our money is wasted but I have to work way too hard for what little money I get each week to find this the least bit funny. It's appaulling to me how many here think it's either funny or great.
Did it ever occur to you Gizmo, that her staff contributed their own personal money to this gift?
Don't worry, no tax money was used to purchase this gift.
Really?! Are some Americans that misled. Did Fox come up with this tripe?
psst, hey Anonymous. Would you please make it your goal this year to take down Fox News!
And where did you see it was paid for by tax dollars? Did your mother ever teach you what happens when u assume?
The article makes no mention that this gift was paid for with private funds. And I find it highly unlikely that that is the case. Tax money is used in this manner quite frequently. If it really was paid for with private funds I would like to see some proof of that.
Where did tou see it wasnt paid for with tax dollars Michael?
Good to see here back on her feet. A little humor is good for the health, and your spirits.
Of course, non-slip shoes might have been more appropriate than a helmet.
Bless her heart. So happy that she recovered from her blood clot. You are in our prayers and thoughts Secretary Clinton.
Funny, I heard that she was in a crash landing going into Iranian airport on a secret mission to meet Imanutjob. There was a Navy Seal killed in the incident.
This happened just before she and obama met the plane with the ambassador's body on it. It was why she looked so bad on the tarmac.
If you believe half of what gets reported you are a fool.
This came via Russian intel.
What?! So now we know. Russia KGB is indeed behind Fox News. I knew it.
You just might, just might mind you, want to check into the highest rated news agency for accuracy and total coverage. But only if you want to know the truth. BTW The O'Reilly factor was rated the most comprehensive and accurate broadcast. But hey lies and fantasy is sooo much more fun. In fact Bill was very upset with me that I supported the pot bill (but not the other one that everyone seems to be trying to make the same ticket-NOT) in WA State but other than that...we are ok.

If they would just catch a little of the UnLeftard News Drivel (Fox) We would not have to explain EVERYTHING to them. It amazes me how ignorant they are about the Sandy Relief Bill & what is going on. It is really pitiful. Fox even has some of the Demorat Senators & Congressmen telling about all the Pork & time lines of voting. But I guess if it isn't from that Fruit Cake Cris Mathews, it never happened. NBC & MSNBC are some of the biggest HACK News the US has.
What no one bought her a jock strap?
Just bring out the walker or better yet bring out the little rascal scooter!

Huleygirl
Improves??????? Unemployment ticked up from 7.7% to 7.8%........guess that's an improvement as in Upwards is always better???
Yea can't wait till we get "Improved" to 22 trillion in dept. Great job Obama.
improves???
have you noticed gas and oil has gone up again since the passage of the fiscal cliff spending bill.
Please excuse Harley Gay Vet . He talks a good game about retards because he has a lot of experience with the term. He be one.
Back on the job? When did she start?
It needs a front cover to hide her ugly face !!!
A reporter asked Bill Clinton "How's Hillary's head?" Bill replied "Well...she's no Monica"
Then Bill said " I really don't know how her head is, ask Janet Reno"
Great, a football helmet for Hillary that's just what insane people need to keep from hurting themselves when banging their head against the walls. Very fitting gift.
I'd have much rather her have a tinfoil hat, isn't that the fad nowadays in Washington?
Ok just once-gotta do it. Bill Clinton and Vince Foster walking down the sidewalk together. Vince looks over and says hey Bill that is a nice dog. Bill says thanks it is an Afghan I got it for Hillary. Vince says good trade. I bet this one gets deleted-just a matter of time. Good night Seattle and good mental health.
oh great .. someone gone and gave her protection . . dahmit ! she's gonna be even worse to deal with now. hey wait a minute.....maybe rgiii could use some help. $$$$$.
i find it extremely funny as hell that clinton lost to obama, but in 2016 they will settle for clinton...roflmao
The helmet is funny cuz she could also have gotten a harness along with the helmet. Some of you democracks are also very funny. How exactly to you function on a daily basis? I would guess that you are on some kind of state aid, you could defiantly qualify. First their is No way you could go outside and see the real world. You could never find your way with your Head that far Up your ARSS. Defiantly disabled, and of course you got to vote for the guy how gives you these hand outs.
One thing, you want to run the country into financial oblivion. Don't take the rest of us with you....... Just Go pick up your welfare check and your Section 8 and let the people who pay for your lazy asses make rational decisions.
Ok, Now lets here how all you bleading hearts cry and tell me how terrible I am.
what threat? Just said a better gift would have been. Never said I was threatening to do it. Nice try, libtards.
What, where, what did you go and do now David. Ruffle some more feathers....shame on you. Duck!!!!!! Oh it's an owl ha.
i really don't know what planet you idiots come from, but please tell me one thing obama has done for the American people, nothing, nothing, he promised to tax's raised on the middleclass, no payment for obamacare, nope, no payment but you better look at your pay check, and for the middle class look at yours also, your tax went up about 100 bucks a month, yep the liar an chief, he said he doesn't take vacations, ok, what do you call it. taking our rights away right underneath your freaking nose's and you don't see it. maybe your drinking the same koolaide that kid in CT. drank and at the theater he looked a little under the weather. you are all nuts to think this man has helped this country. amnesty alone for the mexicans are going to kill you in tax money, you really don't think akll this @!$%# is for the Americans, do you? read people, read. i also would like the truth about who had their hands in benghazi when our men died, or did you people forget that, who killed the border patrol agent and mexicans with bought rifles from fast and furious. my God wake the hell up. leave my 2nd amendment alone also, so we still have the first, he is making this like the middle east, shut down everything with one switch. open your eyes.
She needs more than a helmet with Willie around, needs are more like a padded headboard.
I've never been a big fan of Mrs. Clinton but I'm happy to see she is ok I don't have to agree with someone to wish them good health.
I appreciate your comment Steven. That's how a respectful intelligent person should react. We can have different viewpoints, but it doesn't have to be hateful. I too am glad that she is okay.
