...Political Breakthrough: An Examination of Hillary Clinton’s Powerful Career Women in politics have suffered misogyny from the public and male politicians making it difficult for them to accomplish political and societal change. For centuries, patriarchal American society prevented women from working in positions of power, and once they entered the leadership roles, women were forced into the background. Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the first female politicians in America to escape this subjugation, despite the prevailing sexism. She utilized her position as First Lady to ignite her political career. From there, she was elected as Senator of New York and later appointed as the Secretary of State, a member of the Presidential Cabinet, for...

...Hillary Clinton was born in Chicago, Illinois, where she once was a small business owner as a homemaker. Clinton was raised in a Republic family and faithfully attended Sunday school at her local Methodist church. She graduated from high school in 1965, and then went to Wellesley College. After graduating with her Political Science Degree on May 31, 1969, she received a seven-minute standing ovation for reaching her Academic goals. My knowledge of Hillary Clinton was that she was Bill Clinton’s wife, a senator, and that she campaigned to once be President. The reason I picked Mrs. Hillary Clinton, I know she is re-running to be our next president. I wanted to learn more about her as a person, because didn’t want to go in voting just picking her because she will make history like Obama did. I’ve come to idolize her as a person from my studies and one day hope to be like her. Clinton initiated Health Care Reforms, and is the creator of the Department of Justice’s Violence Against Women. The Violence Movement, reduced aggression toward women, and helped victims of violence. She gained significant influence and power over the Democratic Nomination in 2008, through her achievements. She is a great role model and a huge advocate of feminism for women at their finest I think because of her great accomplishments, she will become the first lady president, in the 2016 election. “There cannot be true democracy unless women’s voices are heard. There cannot be true democracy unless women...

...didn’t wait that long to continue talking which I liked because it showed he knew what he wanted to say; however, he talked too fast which was distracting. Ben Carson’s opening was unprofessional. Donald Trump’s hand motions are excessive, obnoxious, and awkward. Democratic Debate on 1/17/16 was held at the Galillard Center in Charleston, South Carolina and was aired by NBC News at 8 pm. Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd narrate the debate of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley. Hilary Clinton had a very strong opening. O’Malley had awkward eye contact with the audience; it was obvious when he was reading his speech. At the end of his opening he says he “needs our support” which sounded desperate. O’Mally talks too fast and smiles too much; does he realize he is talking about the struggles of America? O’Mally is very cocky and tries to shine light on himself at every given opportunity, and by begging for a chance to talk, makes him sound very desperate. Bernie Sanders is not good at controlling his facial expressions when Hillary speaks...

...highest office in the land. He defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton in a lengthy and bitter primary battle before defeating Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican, in November 2008. As president, Mr. Obama has won passage of a number of sweeping pieces of legislation, notably a health care bill that will eventually provide near-universal coverage, a goal that had eluded Democratic presidents for 75 years. Other big victories included the $787 billion stimulus bill, passed in February 2009, meant to shore up a cratering economy, and a financial regulatory reform measure, passed in July 2010, meant to reduce the odds of another Wall Street meltdown. But Mr. Obama has been stymied on measures like immigration reform and a cap and trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the steadfast opposition of Congressional Republicans, who were joined on some key votes by conservative Democrats. His popularity fell steadily — from 70 percent to under 50 percent — as unemployment stayed stubbornly high. By official accounts, the recession ended, but the recovery was too tepid to knock more than a few fractions off the jobless rate. The White House admitted that it had underestimated the extent of the recession, the worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s. With voters angry about the economy and frustrated with Washington, the Tea Party Movement rose to prominence pushing a radically anti-government agenda, while on the left, pride in accomplishments like the health care bill was diluted...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...

...people have to believe that you are working to achieve your dream. A leader must also be a people person who understands the differences that makes people unique and is able to use those individual skills to achieve a goal.

She fits perfectly on the description of how and what a leader should behave and be.

...Australia's decision to play host to US marines, but noted that "too much of a good thing" could put unnecessary pressure on China. His comments, in an opinion piece in today's edition of The Australian, came as the China Daily state-owned newspaper hit out at Australia's expanding links with the US, warning they could spark a collapse of trust and endanger Sino-Australian economic ties. In a strongly worded editorial, the newspaper yesterday also warned that the Gillard government's decision last month to ban Chinese communications giant Huawei from bidding for work in the $36 billion National Broadband Network had created the perception in Beijing that Australia wanted to obstruct Chinese companies. But, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted her nation wanted close and peaceful relations with Beijing, Julia Gillard rejected the Chinese newspaper's suggestion that Australian foreign policy was aimed at containing China. "Australia's clear and firm policy is to engage constructively with China as it continues its remarkable growth and development," the Prime Minister said through a spokesman. Relations between China and Australia have been under pressure since US President Barack Obama visited Canberra in November to announce plans to station up to 2500 US marines in Darwin...

...Health care policy goals toward the society are delivery and financing of health care services. Health policy generally clarifies the movements occupied by governments---local, state, and national---to improve the society's health. It is a policy that stays focus more on discussing the health needs on majority of the population. The United States of America is the foremost spender on health care than any other country on earth (policy almanac, 2010). For a number of years, health care expenditures grew at a far more rapid rate than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), using majority of the country‘s capitals. The cost of health care and the determination to control the intensification in spending is a major conflict. The upsurge in cost and spending of health care affects many policies as well as the consumer, physicians, government, children, and senior citizens. The focal focus is based on the first three phases of how the procedure works with Medicare/SCHIP. Policies are dynamic. There are three interconnected phases of health care policy making: the formulation stage, legislative stage, and implementation stage. These three important organized stages occur in the process in order to convert a topic such as Medicaid, into a policy. To begin, the formulation stage is a planning cycle by stating a theory. It is the main and frequently most challenging stage in obtaining proper decision methods. The obligation of this stage is to set priorities, set objectives and goals, define...

...Health care reform was a major topic of discussion during the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries. As the race narrowed, attention focused on the plans presented by the two leading candidates, New York Senator Hillary Clinton and the eventual nominee, Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Each candidate proposed a plan to cover the approximately 45 million Americans estimated to be without health insurance at some point during each year. The difference between the plans was that Clinton's plan was to require all Americans to obtain coverage (in effect, an individual health insurance mandate), while Obama's was to provide a subsidy but not create a direct requirement. After the Presidents inauguration, the President announced to a joint session of Congress in February 2009 that he would begin working with Congress to construct a plan for health care reform. In March of 2009, President Obama formally began the reform process and held a conference with industry leaders to discuss reform and requested reform be enacted before the Congressional summer recess (Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, 2010). Members met for a series of meetings to discuss the development of a health care reform bill. Over the course of three months, this group, consisting of Senators Max Baucus (D-Montana), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Kent Conrad (D-North Dakota), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico), and Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming), met for more than 60 hours, and the principles that they discussed...
