She is perfectly able and qualified to be President. The woman was a two time senator and served as Secretary of State.

A list of her accomplishments as a Senator.

MILITARY / VETERANS / FIRST RESPONDERS

• As a U.S. Senator, Clinton was a champion for our service members and veterans. Hillary Clinton was the first New Yorker to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee and made veterans a main focus. She introduced the Heroes at Home Act in 2006 and 2007 to help family members care for those with Traumatic Brain Injury. She also worked to increase the military survivor benefit from $12,000 to $100,000, and cosponsored the Support for Injured Servicemembers Act to extend benefits provided under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Hillary also worked across the aisle to keep the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station open during a time when the Pentagon was shuttering bases, which saved 800 jobs in upstate New York.

• Hillary Clinton, as a U.S. Senator, worked with Republicans to expand health care for National Guard members and reservists. According to McClatchy, then-Senator Clinton worked with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to “provide full military health benefits to reservists and National Guard members.” A statement from Graham’s senate office said, “Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) today announced that the Department of Defense Authorization bill conference report finalized today includes an amendment that will improve TRICARE benefits for National Guard members and Reservists, allowing all members of the Selected Reserve and their families to enroll in TRICARE with an across the board cost-sharing of 28 percent. Today’s victory builds on the Senators’ longstanding commitment to ensuring that members of our National Guard and Reserve and their families have access to the health care benefits they need and deserve.”

• Hillary stepped up for New York in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, fighting hard to secure funds for medical assessment, referrals and outreach for 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, and volunteers.

IMMIGRATION

• As Senator, Hillary Clinton fought to pass the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform, helping to cultivate awareness of the issues in Congress. She introduced the Legal Immigrant Children’s Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women. She also wrote the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act to meet the growing demand for English language courses and other job skills.

HEALTH CARE

• Hillary wrote a law as Senator providing grants to state and local governments to pay for respite care services for family caregivers, which allows expanded funding for temporary breaks for caregivers of sick or disabled people.

• One of Hillary’s Senate bills to distribute flu vaccines more efficiently inspired provisions of a law promoting the production and stockpiling of vaccines to improve our response to public health emergencies.

WOMEN & CHILDREN

• Hillary Clinton worked in the Senate to strengthen the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, introducing multiple bills allowing states to expand the program that she helped create as First Lady. The program, created in 1997, increased health coverage for children in low income and working families. Hillary also co-wrote a law compelling drug companies to conduct safety tests for products prescribed for children, and wrote a component of the No Child Left Behind Act authorizing funding for recruiting and retaining better teachers.

• Hillary Clinton was a powerful advocate for women in the Senate and was one of the original cosponsors of the Prevention First Act to increase access to family planning. As Senator she was a strong defender of a woman’s right to choose.

No dumb ass here, she was the head of the state department and she wasn't aware of state department meetings great leader, not.

Umm, no, it shouldn't. No, really. It really shouldn't, for a myriad of reasons.

You clearly have never had a staff of personnel that you relied on. What did you do for a living? Preach gospel?

Oh dear . . . quoting without reading the article quoted . . .

From the article . . . yet you continue to 'defend' your stance

Umm, rpeters . . . from the article:

As Valmoro explained in a reply to Clinton, only agencies that received money to appropriate through the stimulus act were invited.

It's another Hillary SCANDAL She disn't attend a meeting she wasn't invited to because it didn't concern her department

SCANDAL

Are we sure RPETER isn't just Booners in disguise?

He has the same proclivity for cutting and pasting things that actually undermine the feeble and fantasised points he's trying to argue.

Good point . . . though rpeters hasn't sunk to the depths of y'all yet, though he's from northern California.
rpeters isn't as much of a demagogue and actually has some valid points - not that I agree with many, but he puts more thought into some of his posts than BM . . . I did say 'some'

^ Don't know why my post's formatting has gone wrong

Remove the s from https on the vid.

Why is that? An ad that appeals to the aspirations of young girls is 'sad crap'?

which is what Sanders job is - to give democrat flag wavers something to feel good about, and then at the critical time, he throws his support behind the butcher clinton, and all the blue flag wavers follow suit.

Who is exhibiting prejudice or being discriminated against in this ad? Do you understand the meaning of 'sexism'? Appealing to a specific group, in this instance women, in an ad is not sexism. You and your ilk are hopelessly lost in a bubble where truth is non-existent.

It's funny how some on the Right co-opt things like racism and sexism to portray themselves as the victim(s).

By "funny" I mean 'pathetic'.

I'm all for equality across the board but the ad is crap because it is a direct appeal to support Hillary because she is a woman. I don't care the gender, race, religion or whatever of the president. Frankly most women don't care either. They as I want to hear what a candidate intends to do about domestic and international issues.

No doubt there are gender inequalities but this ad implies a vote for Hillary will eliminate the inequalties. There are all sorts of laws in place that prohibit gender discrimination.

Does anyone really believe Hillary can or will magically fix gender inequality?

Nope, the ad is a blatant attempt to get females to vote for Hillary.

She'll get a vast majority of the female vote anyway and given her likely GOP opponent easily win the presidency.
