I&#8217;ve published some pictures from that breakfast on <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/veni\/sets\/72157602440809250\/\">flickr<\/a>, but here&#8217;s what impressed me most (and I am not going to stop my attention to the things you can read at her <a href=\"http:\/\/hillaryclinton.com\/\">site<\/a> or in the media):<\/p>\n<p>She knows what she&#8217;s talking about. She responds to questions from the audience, and her responses are good. I like her, and I believe she will be a good President.<br \/>\nTopics she covered: foreign relations (special point about Iran), economic development in the USA, education, energy dependence. Her first task, when elected, even before entering the office: send envoys all over the world, to the leaders of major countries, to bring the message that the US foreign policy is going to change immediately.<br \/>\nI like her desire to change the educational system &#8211; today, as it turned out, 75 % of the students belong to the top 25 % people measured by income.<\/p>\n<p>She wants to move the US towards using green energy, bio-diesel, ethanol &#8211; all quite good. In fact, when she was talking about it, it resembled very much <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.veni.com\/?p=64\">an article I published<\/a> here more than an year ago (I will update it, and put it on the front page).<\/p>\n<p>I think she can really do what she promises. She&#8217;s well known, predictable, and has vision to bring back the USA on the right track. The country needs such a leader, but &#8211; more importantly for me and many others &#8211; the world needs this change. Knock-knock (as we say in Bulgaria, &#8220;knock on wood&#8221;) that the Americans will make a right and a good choice next year.<\/p>\n<p>One observation: Hillary looked a little bit tired. You can see her shining appearance at the night of the elections in 2006 (the two pictures I took then are at the <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/veni\/sets\/72157602440809250\/\">flickr<\/a>). It&#8217;s good to organize her schedule to give her some more rest during the campaign &#8211; after all, there&#8217;s one more year of campaigning, and then there are four years in the office!<\/p>\n<p>____<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8221;, that is me and about 50 other people \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I* had a breakfast today with Hillary Clinton &#8211; the woman many consider to be the next President of the United States.
