Muckety movers - lobbying for girls

Girls’ Muckety is heading up, with the unlikely lobby team of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Michelle Obama.

During a visit last week to a girls’ school in London, Michelle Obama choked up as she told the students, “All of you are jewels.”

Clinton, meanwhile, has long been a champion.

“A society that denies and demeans women’s rights and roles is a society that is more likely to engage in behavior that is negative, anti-democratic and leads to violence and extremism,” she said last month.

The Obama White House also has named the first ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues.

But few in the administration touch as many internationally as the first lady and the secretary of state.
