Life's a picnic for Obama and Hillary Clinton

Washington, Apr.11 (ANI): It was reportedly Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's idea to hold her afternoon meeting with President Barack Obama outside.

Fierce campaign rivals just a year ago, Obama and Clinton were the picture of political bliss earlier this week when they ditched the Oval Office for a little quality time in the White House garden, reports the New York Daily News.

On a glorious spring day in the nation's capital, the pair decamped for a picnic table next to a new swing set the Obamas recently purchased for daughters Sasha and Malia.

Witnesses - who were mostly there to watch First Lady Michelle Obama plant a new vegetable garden in another corner of the White House's sizable grounds - reported lots of smiling and easy banter between the two. (ANI)
