Hillary Clinton is finally more popular than Barack Obama, new Gallup poll shows

Hillary Clinton is finally more popular that Barack Obama, for the first time ever, Gallup informs us Thursday.

The Secretary of State is sitting at an enviable 62% favorable rating, compared to the President’s not-too-shabby 56%.

Clinton says she no longer thinks about the top job, so it would seem her new found popularity is a year too late.

But, we do recall that just a little more than a year before she ran for President, she told us she wasn’t even interested in moving back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

And she does have about $3 million in her political accounts. So for Hillary fans old and new, ya never know.

Hillary Clinton likes being president for a day

UNITED NATIONS — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she likes being president — even if it's just of the U.N. Security Council.

Clinton was defeated by President Barack Obama in last year's Democratic presidential primary and she admitted Wednesday that she still savors the title.

Now America's chief diplomat, Clinton was presiding over the Security Council because the U.S. holds its rotating presidency this month.

First, she called for a vote on a resolution demanding an immediate end to sexual violence by combatants in armed conflicts and announced that it had been unanimously approved. Then, she delivered a speech on behalf of the United States expressing hope that the resolution will hasten the day when thousands of women around the world fearing rape or sexual abuse during conflict can live in peace.

At the end of the speech, Clinton said: "I resume now my function as president of the council."

"I kind of like being a president," she added as diplomats burst into laughter.

"So this may go on a little longer than anticipated!" Clinton said, as applause filled the council chamber.

The laughter continued when she introduced Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who responded saying pointedly: "Thank you Madam President."
