Clinton hands Suu Kyi letter from Obama
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed a letter from President Barack Obama to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Prize-winning face of Myanmar's democracy movement, on Thursday, as the two women met for the first time.
Obama thanks Suu Kyi "for the inspiration you provide all of us around the world who share the values of democracy, human rights, and justice.
"We stand by you now and always," he vows in the letter, which was released by the State Department.
Clinton is having dinner with Suu Kyi at the U.S. Chief of Mission residence in Yangon, a highlight of Clinton's historic visit to Myanmar.

George wasn't curious-he was a war criminal.
Just where does Hilary Clinton get off telling the Burmese not to do business with North Korea? This is a prime example of international bullying!!! Her unmittigated arrogance makes me sick!
Thank you, Markey. I feel the same way about Hilary Clinton, but then again, I hate bullying in all it's forms including that on an international level! We have no business trying to dictate anything to Myanmar!!!
I hope she lets me live there after I lose the next american election. I have nowhere else to go. I screwed up America but I made a whole lot of money off them. God Bless the naive.
Thanks a million, Barack. I'm glad you feel that way about us. I'll vote for you next year although I like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain too! But then again, I'm just an ignorant Tea Partier too!
Aung San Suu Kyi is a woman for you posters who don't know what you're talking about! She has worked tiredlessly on behalf of human rights for the Myanmar people! She & Chinese artist/humanist Ai WeiWei have my utmost respect & support! More power to y'all!!
We have every business in the world of trying to foster better relations world wide! Markey and Ruffnutt are just two facets of the same person trying to pollute our blog threads! Shut up already!!!
BtBC: +3 (so far!)
Although you're not the true George Patton here we totally agree with you anyway. We need to just out and plant our flag wherever we go and if any man, woman or child gets in our way, knock'em off!
Mr. President:
Oh, don't worry. You'll get elected again for another 4.
The ass hole pretending to be you will have another four years to be a dick. Yay.
Let's just give Obama another eight years instead of just four. That way he gets to kill off twice as many people!
Lol @ george, the new you is so much more pleasant! Oh and btw ruffnutt and markey are also joseph smith.
@ tea partier, how does one come to the conclusion OBAMA has killed off people?? Are you alluding to the wars, started by previous POTUS?
Of course he is, Ripley. Barack Obama's butchering people in both Afghanistan and Pakistan day after day with the use of those ungodly drones and that makes him a war crimnal who needs to be brought to justice but won't be, sadly enough and that makes me want to puke!!!
Actually Ripley joseph smith is banasy.
Really thunderdrum??? Ok that sure explains a cpl things i guess. Damn thats low!
Im sorry, was meaning to call you later and tell you.
Ok thanks ttyl
You know Hillary Clinton has a boss right? So she has to take orders just like anyone else.
Ah george, back so soon i see! Dont you ever get tired of bein such a hard ass? Life is too short, and you never know whats around the corner!
