HILLARY CLINTON\’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS – IN HER OWN WORDS

Ken Berwitz


Today, during Wolf Blitzer\’s live interview with Hillary Clinton on CNN:

Wolf Blitzer: Carly Fiorina, she said if you want to stumpa Democrat she said ask them about Hillary Clinton\’s accomplishments asSecretary of State. If you were on that debate stage with her, what would yousay was your number one accomplishment as Secretary of State?

Hillary Clinton: You know, Wolf, I didn\’t get to see allof their debate. But I saw enough of it to know that this is just the usualback and forth political attacks, the kinds of things you say when you\’re on adebate stage and really don\’t have much else to say. I didn\’t hear anythingfrom any of them about how they\’re going to make college more affordable or getdown student debt or get equal pay for equal work for women, what they\’re goingto do to make sure that we deal with the challenges of raising incomes for hardworking people. So I don\’t really pay a lot of attention to this kind ofrhetoric that heats up the debate stage. They\’re all trying to vie for moreattention from obviously the Republican Party. I\’m going to let them decide howbest to do it. But if anybody\’s interested, you know, there\’s a long list aboutwhat I have done. And I\’m very proud of it. You can read my book HardChoices, read about how I negotiated a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.You can read about how I put together the coalition that led to internationalsanctions against Iran. You can read about what I did when I was First Lady, toget the children\’s health insurance program or as senator working across theaisle on issues like getting better health care for our veterans. You know,this is just the silly season. I am looking forward to eventually debating onthat stage whoever they finally nominate once they get around to doing that.

Hillary Clinton negotiated a cease-fire between Israel and hamas?  Funny, I don\’t remember reading one word about that when the so-called “cease-fire” happened.  

Hillary Clinton put together the coalition that led to international sanctions against Iran?  Ditto.

This is the best she can do?  Mention a couple of things that happened, and invent not just peripheral involvement in them, but leadership that most media did not seem to think she had much to do with at the time….the same media which fall all over themselves to elevate and beatify Hillary Clinton whenever they can?

Sort of speaks for itself, doesn\’t it?
