Hillary Clinton just couldn't keep her jet-lagged eyes open. The Secretary of State, who was sitting beside Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, appeared to have fallen asleep while President Barack Obama delivered a speech during his historic visit to Myanmar on Monday, November 19.
The video is getting tons of views today.
She simply seemed too tired to appreciate the momentous occasion.
President Obama was the first American leader to visit Myanmar and gave an inspirational speech to the audience at the University of Yangon.
In a historic trip, he showered praise and promises of more U.S. help to Myanmar if the Asian nation keeps building its new democracy.

Research In Motion (RIM), the company behind the innovative and award-winning BlackBerry, has announced that it will hold its BlackBerry 10 launch event on January 30th, 2013. The event will take place simultaneously at multiple locations around the world, and will include the unveiling of its first two BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Details on the smartphones and their availability will be announced at the event.
"In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs. Our team has been working tirelessly to bring our customers innovative features combined with a best in class browser, a rich application ecosystem, and cutting-edge multimedia capabilities. All of this will be integrated into a user experience - the BlackBerry Flow - that is unlike any smartphone on the market today," said Thorsten Heins, President and CEO of Research In Motion.
"Thanks to our strong partnerships with global carriers and a growing ecosystem of developers, we believe our customers will have the best experience possible with BlackBerry 10. We are looking forward to getting BlackBerry 10 in the hands of our customers around the world," he added.
The company also recently announced that its latest OS has achieved FIPS 140-2 certification ahead of deployment, making devices using it the first from BlackBerry that will be able to be deployed in government agencies without post-launch testing.
At this point, all eyes will be on release date and pricing of the two launch devices come the end of January.
With the dominance of Apple and Android, we will see if RIM will regain its dominant position or at least remain competitive in the rapidly growing smartphone industry.
