HILLARY CLINTON WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST april 3 2015 - Video
Story highlights White House weighing whether Obama should meet with Raul Castro A serious congressional ripple effect from the Menendez indictment? It's decision time for GOP operatives as the 2016ers get ready to launch 1. First a deal with Iran, now hug a Castro?
Obama's Iran diplomacy already has his conservative critics fired up, and things could get even more interesting in the week ahead.
The President is headed to Panama for a regional summit, and Julie Pace of The Associated Press reports one of the big questions is whether he'll make history and have a face-to-face meeting with Cuban leader Raul Castro.
"This would be the first meeting between a U.S. and a Cuban leader in decades," said Pace.
"But Obama's efforts to end this freeze of Cuba have been a lot more difficult than they looked when he announced it last year," Pace said. "And so what the White House is going to be weighing is whether this meeting would be a way to generate more progress or whether it would be a premature reward for the Castros."
Hillary Clinton has leased her headquarters space in Brooklyn and will soon make her presidential campaign official.
And with the launch, Jonathan Martin of The New York Times reports, will come a carefully orchestrated effort to reintroduce Clinton -- with an emphasis on her childhood and her earlier work on children's issues.
"The Democrats around Hillary Clinton believe that while she's one of the most famous people in the world, she's never been properly introduced in her own right," said Martin.
"So when she does roll out her campaign here in a couple of weeks, look for more biographical touches. We'll hear about her childhood in suburban Chicago and some of the work that she did as an advocate for the Legal Services Corporation and the Children's Defense Fund when she was in her 30s, and also, more about her Arkansas days as first lady, as an advocate for education."
A lot of the big names signing on to Team Clinton are already known. But Dan Balz of The Washington Post explains part of the statement her campaign wants to make with the announcement is to show it has a large, experienced staff ready for the key national and state roles.

Clinton is due for a reset with the press. Her 2008 campaign was notoriously combative with reporters. She was more at ease with the press corps that covered her while she was Secretary of State, but she's treated reporters with suspicion since her years as First Lady, where attention to controversies often left Clinton feeling assaulted by the media.
"My relationship with the press has been at times, shall we say, complicated," Clinton acknowledged last month as she gave the keynote address at a gala honoring political reporting.
"I'm all about new beginnings," she added, "A new grandchild, a new hairstyle, a new email account, a new relationship with the press."
Clinton's 2012 communications staff selections reflect an effort at a reset. Finney will join a roster of staff who have congenial relationships with reporters, led by Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, who most recently served in the same role in the Obama White House, and joined by lead spokesman Brian Fallon, and spokesman Jesse Ferguson, who is expected to handle daily communications with the press.

Apparently too lazy to find a recent image of Hillary Clinton, Bloomsberg Politics used the former US Secretary of State's head from one image and placed it on another photo of her wearing a purple pantsuit.

Not even Hillary Clinton is safe from a photoshop fail.
Bloomberg Politics have caused a stir after sharing a photoshopped image of Clinton on their Twitter account, later acknowledging it made a "bad call".
Apparently too lazy to find a recent image of Clinton, the outlet used the former US Secretary of State'shead from one image and placed it on another photo of her wearing a purple pantsuit.
The photo was used to promote a Bloomberg Politics special report on Hillary Clinton's news conference at the UN on Tuesday.

The second time around, Hillary Clinton is downsizing.
As she and a coterie of advisers prepare to launch her presidential campaign, their work is guided by a new set of humble principles: No big crowds. Few soaring rallies. Less mention of her own ambitions. And extinguish the air of inevitability propelling her candidacy.
The long and winding prelude to her announcement is nearly over, according to aides, and the start of her second bid for the White House is likely only days away. Top Democratic activists in the early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire privately say they have been placed on alert that Clinton will soon be on her way.
The specific moment she jumps into the race remains a closely-guarded secret, even inside the crowded corridors of her small office suite in Manhattan, which new aides have descended upon to build the operation. Only a handful of confidantes actually know the precise time Clinton will pull the trigger -- first on social media -- yet aides have been instructed to be ready from Monday forward.
But her campaign strategy has crystallized: She will devote considerable time and attention to on-the-ground footwork in Iowa and New Hampshire. She intends to make less frequent stops in Nevada and South Carolina. Together, those four states kick off the nominating contest early next year and will help determine how warmly Democrats embrace her candidacy.
The early pieces of her strategy are starting to come into sharper view as the announcement nears. One of the most noticeable differences from her first campaign, according to more than a dozen people close to the Clintons, is a concerted effort to try and make her candidacy seem far less focused on her winning than on listening to the concerns of voters.
"The early caucus and primary states give her an opportunity to visit with folks in small, more intimate settings, where they will learn a lot about her and she will learn a lot from them," Tom Vilsack, the agriculture secretary and former Iowa governor, who served as a national chairman of her 2008 campaign, told CNN.
Putting in time in Iowa
Over dinner and drinks one night last week at Baratta's, a cozy Italian restaurant in Des Moines, two top visiting Clinton strategists listened as supportive Iowa activists issued a stark warning: Some Democrats are far less enthused about her candidacy than others. After placing third in the Iowa caucuses in 2008, they said she must ask for every vote as well as being willing to run a gauntlet of small events and take part in grueling campaign sessions across the state.
Robby Mook, the campaign manager, and Marlon Marshall, a top deputy, traveled from New York to Iowa and New Hampshire last week as Clinton's envoys. They hosted the dinner and other intimate events, hoping to show that a former First Lady, senator and Secretary of State was open to concern, constructive criticism and even complaints.
