Hillary Clinton delivered a rousing speech on women’s rights on Friday, insisting that empowering women is a “core imperative” for society if the United States is to enjoy economic success and remain a global leader.
Speaking at the Women in the World Summit organized by Tina Brown, editor in chief of Newsweek The Daily Beast, Clinton acknowledged women “have come so far” in areas including politics and in the workplace. But she called gender equality the "unfinished business of the 21st century"—not just in developing countries, but also in the U.S., where women continue to be “marginalized” when it comes to access to education and their ability to receive a salary equal to their male peers.
“For many American women, the dream of upward mobility … the American dream remains elusive,” Clinton declared. “No country can achieve its full economic potential when women are left out or left behind."
It was Clinton’s second major speech this week—and the second time she spoke of the need to empower women around the world, an issue that has long driven her career in public life.
Hillary Clinton is quickly becoming an unstoppable force in politics. I am not even completely confident that President Obama could have beaten THIS Hillary Clinton back in 2008.
By the way our friend Sarah Jones over at Politicususa has noticed that already Hillary is kicking Republican ass. Well at least on the internets.
Hillary Clinton’s Super PAC already surpasses the Republican 2012 Presidential nominee’s PAC’s Facebook fans, and she hasn’t even announced if she’s running for President in 2016. The Ready for Hillary SuperPAC has more twitter followers than Karl Rove’s Crossroads PAC and more Facebook fans than Mitt Romney’s Super PAC had on election day.
Clinton hasn’t mentioned any 2016 plans, but a SuperPAC “Ready for Hillary“, filed papers two months ago and reports gaining an average of 1,000 supporters a day. They write, “Even before the impending official launch of the PAC, more than 100,000 grassroots supporters are now part of our network.”
The “Ready for Hillary” SuperPAC also gave Karl Rove a little kick in the pants, “Reached 50,000 @readyforhillary Twitter followers – already five times more than Karl Rove’s American Crossroads.” Actually, Ready for Hillary is at 54, 768 as of this writing. @AmericanXRoads, which links to American Crossroads.Org, has 9,544 followers and @CrossroadsGPS has 4,966 followers.
Nope not looking good for any future Republican opponents that's for sure.
By the way there is some talk among Republicans that their best bet, in fact perhaps their ONLY bet against Hillary in 2016, would be the tiny man with the road kill toupee himself, Rand Paul.
All I can say to that, is "YES please!" For me literally the only thing better than watching Rand Paul face off against Hillary Clinton would be if he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate.
If that were to happen you would know my reaction simply by the fact that I would not be able to post for several days as I would be too overcome with euphoria to get up off the floor.
I have to say that there are a lot of reason that I am looking forward to Hillary winning the White House, but one of them has to be that this amazing young woman might also take up residence there once again.
If ever there were anybody who could be said to be the very antithesis to the Palin and McCain daughters. this young woman is it.
I think the whole country, perhaps even some on the Right, would take great pride in having this family represent their country once again. And yes that means Bill Clinton as well.
Hillary Clinton: "Women's rights are human rights, and human rights are women's rights." Gee, if ONLY the Republican party could understand that fact.
