There are many, MANY people who seem to think Hillary Clinton hasnt accomplished anything. Apparently, being a First Lady, a Senator, as well as Secretary of State doesnt count as accomplishments to her critics. But here is a very simple summary that encompasses Hillary Clinton and what she has accomplished throughout her life Courtesy of a friend:
First ever student commencement speaker at Wellesley College. Distinguished graduate of Yale Law School. Former Director of the Arkansas Legal Aid Clinic. Former civil litigation attorney. Former Law Professor at the University of Arkansas School of Law. Former First Lady of Arkansas. Former First Lady of the United States, and the first FLOTUS in US History to hold a postgraduate degree. First ex-FLOTUS in US History to be elected to the United States Senate. Elected by the
State of New York to serve two terms in the United States Senate. Former US Secretary of State. GRAMMY Award Winner. Author. Self proclaimed Pantsuit Aficionado. Married to a man named Bill, who plays the saxophone.
She played a leading role in the development of State Childrens Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage.
She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act.
Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH).
She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it Gulf War Syndrome.
At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women.
She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.
Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clintons successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill).
Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act.
Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster.
Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma.
Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.
Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date.
The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.
Well, that seals the deal; I’ll be voting for her next November!
*BARF* LOL!
One word: COATTAILS!
OMG! She’s SO awful!
Her finest and main accomplishment for a lot of voters is she has a vagina, or so it is rumored.........:-)
Maybe the list of Hillary scandals is longer... Can anyone compile that list?
Ha! I thought that the title said “accomplishments”...

Not one objective, hard, accomplishment she can point to and say that was hers. Oh, there's the gem of "Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date." You know you're hurting for accomplishments when travel makes the list.
400 MILLION people? She’s IMPROVED that many lives?
These Koolaid drinkers are flippin’ are NUTS!
“The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.”
She found the “lost” billing records, made a fortune on cattle futures by simply reading the WSJ, got some people killed in Benghazi, wiped out her email server, bakes great cookies, stands by her meal ticket, er, man.
Grammy Award Winner?? For “spoken word” - an audio book. She read her own book into a microphone. Real talent. I’ve written a book myself and could do the same.
Bill too got the award. It was an excuse for liberals to award one of their own a Grammy. It’s ridiculous.
First Co-President.
No accomplishments. “Laid groundwork”, a “role”, “fought to”,”helped”, “proposed”, being a “major proponent”, and getting the most frequent flier miles are NOT accomplishments.
I didn't think so.
Her biggest accomplishment is not getting sent to prison - which she surely deserves.
“At the Department of Justice, she ‘helped’ create the office on Violence Against Women.”
She ‘helped.’ Much like the Janitor who swept the halls at night...’helped.’
What about ‘Violence Against Husbands?’ Pretty sure she is GUILTY of THAT!
Though, I’d wing an ashtray and/or a lamp at his head, too! OMG! I can ‘relate’ to Hillary! There’s no stopping her now!
*SNORT*
Any woman who can keep her husband a rapist out of prison and not divorce him, and forgive him for a public sex scandal, and go on after all of the pathetic lies of a sitting President. This is an accomplishment that she wants to be with him.
Elected by the Democratic Party machine to represent the State of New York, even though a "Carpetbagger" from Arkansas.
Was fired by Federal Judicial committee hearing for 'lying' while representing the US FedGovt.
Her finest and main accomplishment for a lot of voters is she has a vagina
Nonsense, she had that removed years ago along with
her patriotism.
she only served 1 term and less than 2 years of the second one.
