Biggest Pet Peeve:

When people say Hillary Clinton is only where she’s at because she’s an ex-President’s wife. 

Uhh…she graduated from Yale Law and became a successful lawyer way before Bill became President. And let’s not forget — Hillary helped Bill every step of the way. Without Hillary there is no Bill, and without Bill there is no Hillary. They are two halves of a whole. And Bill will be the first to admit that Hillary’s not only more competent than he is, but smarter too. Without her, he never would have become President. 

They are a power couple. They both built the Clinton brand together. The Clinton brand is both Bill AND Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It’s disgusting that people would try to take away Hillary’s accomplishments as a lawyer, First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. You simply do not become a New York Senator and Secretary of State just because you are an ex-President’s wife. PERIOD.

Inspirational Hillary quotes:  1. “I really don’t spend a lot of time worrying about what people think about me…I would be totally paralyzed. How could you get up in the morning if you worried about some poll or what somebody said about you? That’s giving up power over your life to somebody else, and I don’t intend to do that.”  2. “Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been.”  3. “I’m not going to mislead anybody. Politics is really hard. And it is harder for women. There’s a double standard, and you can’t complain about it. You just have to accept it, and be smart enough to navigate it. And you have to have a pretty tough skin. To paraphrase a favorite quote from Eleanor Roosevelt: If a woman wants to be in politics, she has to have the skin of a rhinoceros. Most men who go into politics just think they’re great. They believe they can do anything. Most young women, not only in politics but in most areas, are more cautious and more likely to say, ‘Could I really do this? Am I good enough?’ I was talking to a friend and very successful businessman the other day, and he said, ‘The thing that still annoys me more than anything is that I see all these young women who are so much more capable than they allow themselves to believe. And I see so many young men who are so much less capable but who believe they are God’s gift to the world.’ I would just say to women: Try it! Put your foot in the pond and see if you want to swim.” 4. “Occasionally I’ll be sitting somewhere and I’ll be listening to someone perhaps not saying the kindest things about me. And I’ll look down at my hand and I’ll sort of pinch my skin to make sure it still has the requisite thickness I know Eleanor Roosevelt expects me to have.” 5. “When you stumble, keep faith. And when you’re knocked down, get right back up, and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.”

Obama 2012 — Hillary 2016
7 ♥

Bill and Hillary must return to the White House in 2016. Hell, I’d even nominate them for King and Queen of the World.

I haven’t spent the past 35 years in the trenches advocating for children, campaigning for universal health care, helping parents balance work and family, and fighting for women’s rights at home and around the world to see another Republican in the White House squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people…Barack Obama began his career fighting for workers displaced by the global economy. He built his campaign on a fundamental belief that change in this country must start from the ground up, not the top down. He knows government must be about “We the people” not “We the favored few

Why the Clinton’s are one-of-a-kind Say what you want about the Clinton’s, but they have been a powerful, constant, unwavering voice in support of liberal values. Yes, they have their flaws. And yes, they have been ‘conservative’ on some issues in order to achieve power and accomplish their goals. But that’s what I admire about them — they know how to win, and they know how to bounce back in the face of defeat. They are extremely resilient, and we need their political skill in an America where Republicans tend to dominate our political debate. Because when the Clinton’s play, they do the dominating. The Clinton’s have an amazing way of playing the political game better than the Republicans. Bill and Hillary fight fire with fire, and are not afraid to play hardball. Never underestimate them. They are ruthless, articulate, tough, smart, and politically brilliant. The two of them together are the ultimate power couple, and Republicans know it. It will be an unfortunate day for America when they both retire from politics. We need their voices now and forever. No one can or will be able to replace the Clinton’s. So please, watch President Clinton’s speech next Wednesday at the Democratic convention — no one can do it better than he can (expect maybe Hillary). Also, pay special attention for hints of a Hillary 2016 Presidency. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill starts laying the groundwork for our Secretary of State. He is, after-all, a political animal who knows that him and his wife need to go back to where they belong — the White House.
