Obama and Hillary Clinton meet at White House

US President Barack Obama chatted with his former secretary of state Hillary Clinton at the White House on Monday, in a previously unannounced meeting. "President Obama and Secretary Clinton enjoy catching-up in person when their schedules permit," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. Clinton, the firm favorite to lead the Democratic Party bid to replace Obama after the 2016 election, had been in Washington for an appearance with labor leaders.
