Hillary Clinton gives Obama an espresso machine

Perhaps hoping to give him a jolt, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly gifted President Obama with an espresso machine earlier this year.

A Thursday story in The Wall Street Journal makes no mention of the occasion behind the caffeine-filled present.

Obama has stopped at many a coffee shop along the campaign trail, but has been seen in photos sipping on cups of Joe rather than espresso.

According to the Journal report, during the gift-giving session, Obama gave Clinton an iPad case inscribed with her initials.
