A Conversation With Hillary Clinton and Christine Lagarde: On The Double Standard in the M - Video
Are Pitbull and Kesha to music what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are to politics?
Um, no, not at all, but Pitbull and Kesha's song "Timber" was covered (kinda) by the world leaders! Thanks to some very clever video editing done by YouTube user baracksdubs, the president and potential 2016 contender speak/sing a buttoned-up version of the chart-topping hit.
And while Kesha and Pitbull have yet to speak publicly about the possibility of former Secretary of State Clinton running for president, their fellow artist Pharrell Williams is confident Hillary will be moving in to the White House.
VIDEO: LOL, watch Brian Williams rap (kinda) "Rapper's Delight"
"Let me tell you why Hillary's going to win," he told GQ magazine. "Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there's unity. So when you think about a night where there's late-night talk-show hosts and it's mostly women, that's a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that's a different world."
He added, "That's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen when Hillary wins. Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you're a woman, and there's no way in the world you're going to vote for somebody that's going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary's gonna win. Listen, I'm reaching out to her right now. She's gonna win."
If Pharrell's right on this one, maybe Clinton and Obama can "sing" a cover of "Happy"!

Washington (CNN) Correct the Record, the communications and rapid response arm of a pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC, is touting the former secretary of state's record on income inequality at the same time as national Democrats seize on what they see as a winning electoral issue.
In a research report titled "Hillary Clinton: A Lifetime Champion of Income Opportunity," the group is defending Clinton's record by highlighting efforts from her career as secretary of state, senator from New York and first lady. Some of those highlights include "raising the minimum wage," "advocating for out-of-work Americans" and "getting equal pay for equal work."
"Hillary Clinton has dedicated her life to ensuring that all hardworking Americans have the chance to succeed, no matter their circumstances," Adrienne Elrod, the communication director for Correct the Record told CNN. "Hillary's record reflects her belief that every American should have the right to achieve economic security and income opportunity."
The document also highlights some of Clinton's work from early in her career, like her first job out of law school with the Children's Defense Fund and her work on rural healthcare as the first lady of Arkansas in the 1990s.
The research document is part of an ongoing series where the group plans to tout "the highlights" of Clinton's record, said Elrod. Correct the Record plans to distribute their research to supporters and journalists as a reference for future questions about Clinton's accomplishments.
The defense comes as Republicans are wasting no time in defining Clinton's record. In the last month, the Republican National Committee has said that Clinton's record is "troubled" with "little to show for her four years at the State Department."
Clinton is widely considered the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. She leads every poll of the Democratic field and most polls have her leading potential Republican White House hopefuls, as well. Clinton has not announced that she will seek the presidency, but as acknowledged that she is thinking about running.
Income inequality has been a hot topic for Democrats over the last few weeks. From the White House to Capitol Hill to the campaign trail, Democrats have used the issue including a push for equal pay as a large-scale coordinated attack against Republicans.
Democratic strategists see equal pay as a way to galvanize the base and raise money in a midterm election that will see less turnout and excitement than a presidential election year. By keeping the issue in the news, Democrats hope to benefit in the long-term by showcasing GOP presidential hopefuls who oppose equal pay protections.
Clinton, too, has recently waded into the income inequality and equal pay debate, though Correct the Record said their research documents are not coordinated to her comments on the issue.

If Hillary Clinton runs for president, shell be getting a lot of help from Wall Street. But her friends and confidants there tell me she truly hasnt decided yet.
So why is she hesitating? The big reason, according to these sources, has to do with the dude who occupies the Oval Office now.
Barack Obamas rapidly disintegrating presidency and the chance it will get even worse is Clintons top worry these days as she weighs whether shell run, and can win, in 2016, these folks say.
Of course, most of Hillarys Wall Street buddies from Goldmans Lloyd Blankfein to Blackrocks Larry Fink think shell end up throwing her hat into the ring. Shes being urged to take the plunge, they say, by many confidants as well as by both her husband the former president and their daughter Chelsea.
Shes said to think that former Florida ex-Gov. Jeb Bush, with his moderate-to-conservative track record and broad appeal to Hispanics, would be a difficult foe in a general election (even with that last name), but that Republican infighting might well produce a much weaker candidate, someone who appeals to right-wing Tea Partiers and almost no one else.
Age is another cause for doubt: Clinton would be nearly 70 if she took office but thats still younger than Ronald Reagan when he took the oath, and 70 isnt as old as it was then, either. (The new 60? 50?) Plus, despite rumors about health problems, people who know her say they believe Hillary is healthy enough to withstand the grind of campaigning.
No, apparently the big risk she sees is the potential taint of her old boss, President Obama.
This goes beyond the continued unpopularity of ObamaCare, even though shes tied to that albatross not just by Democratic Party political realities by also by her push for a similarly unpopular health system during her husbands presidency.
It even goes beyond the failures of Obamas foreign policy though of course Hillary, as his secretary of state for his first four years, also gets tainted not just by the Benghazi tragedy but the countrys weak standing throughout the world.
No: Her biggest fear, Im told, is that the Obama economy gets even worse.
