U.S. Administration Can Spell W-O-M-E-N

The Obama's are the gift that keep giving. Michelle is talking about the importance of eating locally grown veggies, and on International Women's Day, she and Hill teamed up to drop some feminist knowledge on the State Department. It's so refreshing to hear Hillary Clinton saying cool things again. We had to wait a long time, but it's good:

You "can't solve problems of financial crisis, climate change, disease and poverty if half of the population is left behind," Clinton said. The rights of women will "always be central to our foreign policy."

In a commentary published Monday in honor of International Women's Day, Clinton warned that "women still comprise the majority of the world's poor, unfed and unschooled."
