On the news of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s landmark speech yesterday about gay rights as human rights, a viewer reminds us of an early address she gave. “Beautiful!” @APitty writes, “And it mirrors her comments from Beijing the 1995 UN Conference on Women.”
And indeed, Ms. Clinton’s 1995 speech, given when she was the First Lady, is amazing. I don’t know whether to find it sad or inspiring, in that so much of its argument remains timely.

“I admire that he’s still out there hitting the ball.”
Bill Clinton on Dick Cheney’s recent comments that Clinton’s wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should challenge Barack Obama for the 2012 Democratic presidential nomination.
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says there is a “below zero” chance that she will challenge President Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012. In an interview with CNN’s Alison Kosik on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, the former senator from New York said she is happy with her current job. “One of the great things about being Secretary of State is I am out of politics,” Clinton said. “I have a big job to do and I am honored to do it everyday.”

“This is another example of President Obama leading from behind — makes you scratch your head and wonder what really does he do?”
…he’s stepping back and allowing Hillary Clinton to basically carry the water for our entire nation.
