Dear SOG,
You clever bunny, you! It certainly was water under the bridge for Hillary. She chartered her own course through unexplored terrain responding to many storms and attempts to bring her down. They failed. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate, and international icon who lived through America's great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater. Posted by Foxy, Monday, 28 March 2016 2:20:25 PM

LOL Fox, you are lifting bookseller's and the politician's own words (doubtless helped by a ghost writer) and calling the weak, brown runny stuff fact.
In the real world outside of wildly enthusiastic, easily led political stooges, claims that are obviously pure rhetoric and are unsupported by examples of real accomplishment would instantly rule a candidate out of further consideration. Just saying that she has the CV of the already advantaged and self-entitled Grrl from the Elite who has enjoyed many a leg-up to a job she couldn't handle and didn't bother to learn. Now her vanity (and ignorance!) leads her to believe she should be the CEO. What, because she is a woman? She has worked that card to death. It it must come down to gender for the Democrats, there are far better women about and with runs on the board. The real question is what is wrong with Party politics that a pretender like Hillary with failures behind her gets the guernsey instead? Hillary Clinton is a bloody fool, a stuffed shirt and a jerk, http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-clinton-email-probe-20160327-story.html Posted by onthebeach, Monday, 28 March 2016 4:45:59 PM

I've learned a few facts about Hillary Clinton
from reading her book, "living History," (amongst others) and also having lived and worked in the US for close to ten years. A political life, it's often said is a continuing education in human nature, including one's own. Hillary Clinton's involvement on the ground floor of two presidential campaigns and her duties as First Lady took her to every state of the union and to seventy-eight nations. I stated earlier that during her years as First Lady, she became a better student of how government can serve people, how Congress really works, how people perceive politics and policy through the filter of the media and how American values can be translated into economic and social progress. She learned the importance of American engagement with the rest of the world and she developed relationships with foreign leaders and an understanding of foreign cultures that would come in handy today. She also learned how to keep focused while living in the eye of many storms. Hillary Clinton writes in her book: "I wasn't born a First Lady or a Senator. I wasn't born a Democrat. I wasn't born a lawyer or an advocate for women's rights and human rights. I wasn't born a wife or mother. I was born an American in the middle of the twentieth century, a fortunate time and place. I was free to make choices unavailable to past generations of women in my own country and inconceivable to many women in the world today. I came of age on the crest of tumultuous social change and took part in the political battles fought over the meaning of America and its role in the world." I strongly recommend the book "Living History," to anyone wanting to learn about Hillary Clinton. She meant her book not as a comprehensive history, but a personal memoir that offers an inside look at an extraordinary time and life of America. It captures the essence of a formidable figure in American politics who just may become the next US President if intelligence wins out. Posted by Foxy, Monday, 28 March 2016 5:48:34 PM

Foxy dear, I know Hillary is a female, but unfortunately I have to inform you of facts, not just warm and fuzzy female comraderie sentiments that outline a pattern of incompetence and dishonesty that has dogged her path at every step in her undistinguished career.
Upon her leaving Yale she failed to pass the District of Columbia Bar examination, so she went to Arkansas and with Bills connections passed the Bar exam there. She then went to work on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee underJerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat and a former professor at the University of Santa Clara Law School, who reported her work legally inadequate and ethically flawed. As a consequence, she was one of only three attorney-employees of the committee over the course of Zeifman’s tenure that he considered unworthy of a positive reference. As First Lady HillaryCare was her only management assignment, and she screwed that up so badly that it was one of the key causes of her Democrat husband getting the first Republican House in 40 years. After the White House as a Senator from New York she failed to accomplish anything of note other than fairly meaningless actions such as bridge dedications. As Secretary of State she started with the “Russian Reset” blunder and finished with the Benghazi fiasco. Foxy she is a dud............a complete female dud.....

Foxy you forgot to mention killer of ambassadors by inaction, when you mentioned Hillary's accomplishments.
The yanks really got it wrong with Obama. Their first negro president has been a total failure, apart from his ability to handsomely repay with tax payer funds, his campaign donors. Probably the most corrupt president ever. Now some want to get it just as wrong with their first woman in the office. Won't they ever learn? If they had a brain, they could have fulfilled both firsts with just one person. If you really want a US lady president, who might be able to fix up Obama's stuff ups, you have Condoleezza Rice, a proven success in almost all she has ever done. Worth about 10 Hillarys & a dozen Obamas put together. Posted by Hasbeen, Monday, 28 March 2016 6:05:20 PM
