Hillary Clinton???
This has come up before, but what are peoples thoughts on her has president?
Is America ready for a woman pres? Is America ready for Hillary? I personally figure she would loose horribly due to onservative/Moderates/conservative dem's rallying to the polls.

Bill Clinton really wasn't that liberal, he was quite moderate in his policies. Remember, he passed welfare reform, which no true liberal ever would have done. Bill Clinton is still well liked despite his past problems, and Hillary's book tour has been pretty popular. So, to answer your question: Do I think Hillary could make a legit run for president? Yes. I think she could win. Would I vote for her? At this point, I'd have to say no. She and Bill just have too much of a cloud around them. It would depend on who the republicans offered up though. If it was Hillary versus the George Bush of today, I would vote for Hillary, mainly because of John Ashcroft. If it was a stronger republican candidate, I'm not sure. |

I'd love to see America run by a woman... I just don't think Hilary will be the one to do it.

If we are going to have a woman as a president, fine, but if it's Hillary Clinton I am moving to Canada. I do not trust any Clinton, and Hillary's constant yelling and preaching about the horrible job Bush is doing annoys me. She always sounds so mad. Well, besides in that soft interview with Barbara Walters.

Why would anyone want her? What has she done? Her track record is abysmal. She was hired in a law firm after her husband became govenor. You telling me she made it on merit, or for the good connections? I mean what law firm wouldnt want the spouce of their govenor on their team?
What famous case did she work on? Then her next real job was to get universal health care. After 25 million was spent, no heath care. Then she spends the highest amount in NY history to beat a NO Name assemblymen for a seat in the senate. Lots of cash to beat a local politician, real impressive. Then she makes strong, powerful speaches about how the USA will not tolerate terrorism, how if you harbor terrorists, you are a terrorists. How we will fight you till the bitter end, and then turns around and attacks the president for doing what she said we should do in her speach. I dont know if any of you heard her being booed off the stage when she spoke in Madison Square Garden after 9 11, but its pretty indicative how how most NYer feel about her. She needed the most expensive sentorial campaign in NY history to beat a no name local politician, as GUilani bowed out after his bout with Cancer, and was booed by her constituents. Imagin how much money she will need to beat a real candidate. This is why she is not running in 04. She knows she cant even carry NY. |

Hmmm...running on her last name and connections, rather than her own merit?
Hillary sounds alot like President Bush. I would prefer it if she didn't run for President. It's not that she's a woman, but that i don't think she's qualified for the job. Plus, the fact that she's such a polarizing figure would hurt her. She was able to win NY because of the strong Democratic base, but she'll have a much tougher time nationally. |

The boos can heard if you download her speach from KAZA. The funniest part is when she started to talk louder to over come the boos, and the boos became even louder that you cant hear her at all. I guess she could make the same claim that micheal moore did about the oscars, " the boos were from people booing the booers"
Ya right. |

She entered Wellesley College in 1965. Graduating with high honors, she moved on to Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action. In 1973, Hillary became a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund. A year later she was recruited by the Impeachment Inquiry staff of the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to work on the Watergate Impeachment proceedings. As First Lady of Arkansas, Hillary continued to work tirelessly on behalf of children and families. In addition to chairing the Arkansas Education Standards Committee, she founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. She introduced a pioneering program called Arkansas Home Instruction for Preschool Youth, which trained parents to work with their children in preschool preparedness and literacy. Hillary also served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital. In recognition of her professional and personal accomplishments, Hillary was named Arkansas Woman of the Year in 1983 and Arkansas Mother of the Year in 1984. http://www.wic.org/bio/hclinton.htm I think that Watergate trial was kind of a big one wasn't it?

So Can I run for office and say I was on this landmark case? When i read about Watergate, and I have, for ten years. I have not heard HIlary's name mentioned, that is untill the above post. Methinks had she been important to the case, her name would have popped up before. I suspect this is overinflating her worth after she has become famous. WHy is here name not mentioned in any books about Watergate? Any movies? Was she a gloried research asistanct? What did she do on the case? I think its a bit overblown. |

I, too, think she would make a good run. That, however, does not mean that I think she'd make a good president. No one can ever predict what kind of presidency a person will have.
Who would have ever guessed that she'd be elected senator from NY? Personally, I'd like to see Mario Cuomo give it a shot.

While she was only 26 at the time, it wasn't hard to find several references, including the one I quoted, saying that the Watergate investigation launched her career. It's sad that you can't admit that you are wrong. You said she got her lawyer job because Bill Clinton was governor. In fact, she wasn't even married to Bill yet, and his governorship was years away. We all make mistakes, you made a fairly serious factual error. Admit it. It's right there in your post. You said: Quote:

Many thanks to HarmlessRabbit for doing more research than I.
It is fairly simple to see that while Hilary's life and career are vastly effected by her marriage to Bill Clinton, she is, in her own right, a very intelligent, capable person. She was already on a path of "greatness", for the lack of a better word, prior to her marriage. My father is an attorney and worked on several Bar Association committees with her in the 70's. He says that even then, she was the most intelligent and quick-thinking person in the room and that even when she was not chairing the committee, she was always one of the most influential members. Whether or not she would be a good president is a completely different story.

I must thank her for spending 25 million on researching universal health care and getting everyone covered.
I must also thank her for her speach on how America will not tolerate terrorism, nor the nations that harbor them. Then when we act on it, she forgets she ever made that speach. I also must congradulate her on running the most expensive senatorial campaign in NY history to beat an unknown local politician. |
