Hillary Clinton's image control: Security swipes man's phone, erases pic of her at speech
The Miami Herald | Thursday, September 19, 2013 | Marc Caputo

Hillary Clinton quietly slipped into Miami on Thursday to address a travel agents convention in a speech where the former secretary of state said little about troubles abroad or the future ambitions of the likely presidential-race frontrunner.

Clinton slipped a question about what it would take for the United States to elect its first female leader, Clinton was quick with a joke.

“Well, it’ll take a crazy person,” she said, drawing laughs from the crowd at the American Society of Travel Agents’ global convention

Though ostensibly not political, Clinton’s address had the makings of an introductory campaign speech. Campaigns are often highly controlled events, but the ASTA conference at Hyatt Regency Miami kicked it up a notch.

One member of the audience had his Galaxy Note II smartphone taken from him by security, which removed his picture of Clinton onstage and then gave his device back.

Guess the hildebeest is running for president. She will be even worse than 0bama. 0bama is bumbling and suffers from a lack of self worth. Hildabeest is a mean, driving, vicious female of the dog species.

I would be demanding the local police and district attorney investigate her bodyguard for assault and theft.

speaking at a travel agent convention..

Unrelated, but there used to be a travel agent in every shopping center it seems. Guessing they exist for corporate travel or group trips?? /tangent

After 8 years of O’bastard her odds of being elected are pretty slim.

Ironically her stock may be dropping because she's not Communist enough. Millennials are gravitating towards the Fake White Indian and her implied promise of public banker floggings on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I happened to strike up a discussion with a travel agent at an airport last week. He said his business now is all group stuff, like church group tours of Europe. I think most of the single and family biz has been taken over by internet.

Hil’s “security” doesn’t have that authority.

Did you mean nominated? If she is the Demonrat Candidate against, say, the RINO Bush, I'd say her chances look good.

ASTA should have asked her why she fired the entire White House Travel staff.

My only quibble is:

What makes you believe Odinga is not going to have a third term?

Someone should have asked whether she has any travel tips for, say, Benghazi, Libya.

that would be a direct 4th amendment violation

if she doesn’t want pictures, don’t be in public places

recording information is just as much of an expression as relaying information. first amendment violation

To me he looks tired and worn out. Working two or three days a week between junkets is killing the guy. I'm convinced he'll move on.
