Dick Cheney seems to have mastered it too.

Explain how the wave and a smile presidential, though. I'm not seeing it.

[bigtree]

12. other threads have outlined her specific efforts. This one is for the visuals.

I really don't expect you to have any interest in the substance of these visits.

[Hailtothechimp]

13. Substance? Really? Do tell me about it.

Looks like a dog and pony show to me (which is meant only figuratively, of course).

[bigtree]

Even if you don't agree with me, please read the following:

“Together with Attorney General Janet Reno, Clinton helped create the Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice”
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

Hillary Clinton has also been a prominant international leader speaking out against Violence Against Women world wide:

“Hillary Clinton traveled to 79 countries during this time, breaking the mark for most-travelled First Lady held by Pat Nixon. In a September 1995 speech before the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Clinton argued very forcefully against practices that abused women around the world and in China itself, declaring "that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights" and resisting Chinese pressure to soften her remarks. She was one of the most prominent international figures at the time to speak out against the treatment of Afghan women by the Islamist fundamentalist Taliban that had seized control of Afghanistan.<149><150> She helped create Vital Voices, an international initiative sponsored by the United States to promote the participation of women in the political processes of their countries.”
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton

She has also spoken out strongly against mutilation of Muslim girls. I understand around 95% of young Muslim girls in Africa are mutilated, the equivalent of male castration, and without pain killers.

BILLS HILLARY HAS SPONSORED JUST IN THE LAST YEAR TO HELP WOMEN:
SOURCE: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=300022&ta ...

S. 1240: Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act of 2007
S. 2415: Protection Against Transmission of HIV for Women and Youth Act of 2007
S. 1816: National Women's Rights History Project Act
S. 1800: Compassionate Care for Servicewomen Act
S. 1075: Unintended Pregnancy Reduction Act of 2007
S. 766: Paycheck Fairness Act

If you look at the same very record in the last year for Obama, I found no bills to help women.
SEE: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?tab=bills&id ...

If you study more about Hillary Clinton’s background, you will also notice that throughout the last 35 years she has been a strong advocate for protecting not just women but children, the sick, and even animal protection groups give her excellent ratings. Children, animals and often sick people are not able to vote. These facts indicate to me a lot about her true character: a highly compassionate person who cares about the vulnerable being abused

Hillary's Irish Legacy
Prominent backers cite relevant role in peace process
By Ray O'Hanlon
[e-mail]

In early February 1992, as the race for the American presidency was hitting high gear, Mary Robinson made the first official visit to Belfast by an Irish president.

Robinson had made her way north to meet with community workers and women's groups.
……..

Hillary Clinton would share Mary's Robinson's interest in the empowerment of women and in giving support to those women's groups who were working for a better future for all the people of the North.
…………

"Anyone criticizing her foreign policy involvement should look at her very active and positive approach to Northern Ireland and speak with the people of Northern Ireland who have the highest regard for her and are very grateful for her very active support for our peace process," Hume concluded in his defense of Hillary's Irish legacy.


Not surprisingly, some of the senator's most vocal defenders have been women activists from Northern Ireland.


In a series of statements compiled by labor and fair employment advocate Inez McCormack, Clinton was lauded for her "decade-long support" of the peace process. ……

[surfin]

65. She could not talk with military people about anything important

she had no security clearance. She brought a hello from mom or wife to them and had photo shoot and served tea and left.

[rodeodance]

72. hello from mama

[surfin]

67. Notice how they will never tell what the experience is

I have 35 years of exp but no details all hidden.

[libbygurl]

59. Thanks for the kick! nt

[surfin]

63. Movie stars, baseball players have the same pictures

Tells us nothing.

Why not share her tax returns and records from the white house?

Oh, those are facts.

[rodeodance]

71. quess you will just have to wait now won't you!

[Rock_Garden]

7. We Hillbots appreciate the research and effort you put into this, bigtree. K&R!

[rodeodance]

26. :-)

[indimuse]

8. very cool...thanks.

9. How did I miss this great thread!

K.R

[rodeodance]

25. It is!! but

as you can see, it is being infected with nasty comments from immature Obamafans

[Alamom]

11. k&r

[rodeodance]

17. LOVELY photos Bigtree. Thanks for your research.

[zabet]

18. Thank you bigtree!

:applause:

:yourock:

[Dinger]

21. GREAT PICS! K & R!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[blm]

23. Now get REAL - Where are the pics where she is telling Dubai and Saudi royals that BCCI matters have

been downplayed and deep-sixed so they needn't worry about their associations and dealings with GHWBush and Bin Ladens and AQ Khan getting any further scrutiny from the American people?

You see, bigtree, there were SOME international matters that LED directly to the emergence of Bush2, to 9-11, and to this Iraq war, and soon to be war with Iran.

When will you bother to CARE that Clintons were the ones who MADE SURE that the worst of the worst were protected as they FUCKED THE AMERICAN CITIZENS OVER to protect BushInc?

[bigtree]

31. don't you have those? They should be broadcast all over by now

. . . considering how eminently credible you think all of your accusations are. It's not like these were just raised yesterday.

I'm just not buying what you've been selling about the Clintons.

[blm]

36. Yeah, big, it all happened in a vacuum and Clintons couldn't POSSIBLY have allowed it

to happen even IF the man who bankrolled Clintons political career in Arkansas AND his primary campaign AND was GHWBush's partner in BCCI dealings that were deep-sixed throughout the 90s.

Nope. Clintons would NEVER do that. In fact, Bill explains it all in his book.

Doesn't he?

And that TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS Bill banked recently from the same Dubai royals who staked BCCI had NOTHING to do with Clinton's generous actions throughout the 90s that protected all those involved with its illegal operations.

Right?

[rodeodance]

51. Haven't you found those pics yet??

[blm]

52. Those pics wouldn't have been taken now, wold they/ Hillary's REAL experience

is in protecting BushInc with her husband and YOU want it to continue.

Have you found the part in Bill's book where he explains how he held BCCI operatives accountable?

Or does he think you and all of us Dems are too STUPID and wouldn't even notice that he never even mentions BCCI one time in his book and wouldn't notice that Marc Rich was an IranContra-BCCI operative he pardoned for Poppy?

[rodeodance]

60. still avoiding the work of finding them?

[sunnystarr]

35. I didn't realize that Chelsea had all that foreign policy experience!

Chelsea Clinton is more qualified than her Dad was when he got in the WH!

[rodeodance]

43. gosh--this is real learning experience for you. good for you.

[Vinca]

38. Are the photos supposed to be positive or negative as it pertains

to running for POTUS? They're sort of "Welcome Wagon" pictures, don't you think? If we were voting for Schmoozer-In-Chief, she'd have my vote. There must be tens of thousands of similar photos of other politicians doing similar things. By the way - the first one looks photoshopped.

[bigtree]

41. they go with the accounts of her advocacy. They are snapshots.

Detailed accounts of her advocacy abroad are available to anyone who takes the time to look.

[rodeodance]

48. You can do some WORK and find all those "tens of thousands of similar photos of other politicians"-

There must be tens of thousands of similar photos of other politicians doing similar things. By the way

[Vinca]

50. If visiting 80 countries is a qualification for the presidency,

I've got some travel agents I can recommend for the position.

[rodeodance]

53. still not producing thos tens of thousands of pics you were yaking about!

[Lucinda]

39. Thanks bigtree!

Great pics!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

40. where is Obama pics from abroad?..oh wait he was on the Yale Debate team and went to Canada

[rodeodance]

42. chuckle

[Maddy McCall]

44. LOL.

:rofl:

[JoFerret]

55. He has LIVED there when growing up

And that affords an interesting international perspective. If he becomes president it will be helpful.

Meanwhile we need to give Hillary her due too.

We have TWO GREAT candidates folks.

[rodeodance]

61. fine---go start a pro-Obama thread.

[JoFerret]

75. Just being fair

No need to get twisted knickers.
These are great Hillary pics.

[surfin]

64. Jolie/Pitt ticket has more pictures than Hillary

Should we write them in?

[rodeodance]

45. K

[Bigleaf]

46. Why did you use the term "Pre-Senate" in the title and not "First Lady"?

[bigtree]

47. everything's a plot isn't it?

what's the difference?

[rodeodance]

49. I think the term is grand.

[Unsane]

54. anyone have the pic of her with the troop who's giving a "duress" hand signal?

[Unsane]

70. found it

[rodeodance]

56. that chelsea sure has changed.

[BlackVelvet04]

57. K&R

[libbygurl]

58. K & R !

Facts should be known.

[surfin]

62. Where is the picture of her grilling the poor little girl who was raped

12 yrs old and she attacks her. How could any women vote for her.
Never could see obama do that.

[rodeodance]

73. SPAM--three times on this thread!

[bigtree]

74. the woman herself holds no grudge, says Hillary was doing her job correctly

you, however, are misrepresenting her, exploiting her tragic past to make a petty attack on a message board. You are pathetic.

[Iceburg]

68. Great pics /nt

[ronnykmarshall]

69. I know it might be "sexist"

But I LOVE Hillary's hair in this pic!
