Here is Hillary's resume.

  • Graduate of Yale Law School, where she was one of just 27 women in her graduating class.
  • Young lawyer for the Children’s Defense Fund where she worked to help enact legislation to help children with disabilities in Massachusetts.
  • Lawyer for the Congressional Committee investigating President Nixon.
  • First Lady of Arkansas where she worked to improve educational standards and health care access for the people of Arkansas.
  • First Lady of United States during where she worked to reform our health care system and helped create the Children's Health Insurance Program. Here is where she learned what Republicans are capable of doing when faced with a strong intelligent aggressive woman.
  • U.S. Senator for New York, probably the most diverse, complex and important state in the country.. economically, financially, politically, and diplomatically. While Senator she worked to secure funding to rebuild New York after 9/11 and fought to provide health care for first responders who were contaminated at Ground Zero. Also helped to expanded TRICARE so that members of the Reserves and National Guard and their families could get better access to health care.
  • Ran for President in 2008 where she learned the hard way what it takes to win.
  • Served as Secretary of State for 4 years. She was instrumental in starting to restore America’s standing in the world. She helped build a coalition for tough new sanctions against Iran that brought them to the negotiating table and brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that ended a war. She also was a forceful champion for human rights, internet freedom, and rights and opportunities for women and girls, LGBT people and young people all around the globe.

No doubt one of the most experienced and prepared candidate for the Office of President.
Not as qualified as James Buchanan, our top President. *snicker* jfern Jan 2016 #1
