GOP aspirants simply don't have these credentials because they are about what "I" want and screw everyone else.

But don't let the truth get in the way of your insouciant narrative.

Please tell me specifically what programs or efforts she did to make human rights and dignity better for millions.

Are you thinking she changed the way Chinese view baby girls and had direct influence in encouraging women to keep and celebrate their female fetuses?

No wait... no, that didn't happen.

Hillary Clinton was awarded the 2013 Chatham House Prize in recognition of her significant and impressive contribution to international diplomacy as US Secretary of State and her work on behalf of gender equality and opportunities for women and girls.

During her tenure at the State Department, Hillary Clinton decisively drove a new era in US diplomatic engagement. She was instrumental in re-orientating the strategic focus of the United States towards the Asia-Pacific region. She was successful both in multilateral diplomacy ? helping to develop new international frameworks, such as the Global Counterterrorism Forum and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition – and in bilateral negotiations, brokering an agreement between Turkey and Armenia to reopen their border and negotiating a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.

Her creation and implementation of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) made a bold comment on the importance of comprehensive diplomacy and 'civilian power'. Her understanding and use of public diplomacy demonstrated that values and ideas must be promoted through two-way dialogue, especially in the age of social media.

Secretary Clinton was equally able to tackle acute challenges in international affairs and to call on the necessary skills and tools when needed. Working in partnership with key allies in both the UN and NATO to protect civilians in Libya in 2011 was a prime example.

Secretary Clinton used her personal standing and visibility as a campaigner on the global stage to support educational and economic opportunities for women and girls. She incorporated more women into peace-building initiatives at the UN, and at the State Department she created the position of ambassador-at-large for global women's issues.

She led a global campaign for efficient, modern cooking stoves, helping to reduce the 1.9 million premature deaths per year from smoke inhalation on open cooking fires, predominantly among women in developing countries. Her work to integrate women’s rights with broader development goals backed up her long-held belief that 'it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights'.

Message from Her Majesty The Queen, Patron of The Royal Institute of International Affairs

'I warmly congratulate Hillary Clinton on being awarded this year’s Chatham House Prize for her accomplishments as Secretary of State, which build on a long and impressive commitment to working in the service of the public. Members of The Royal Institute of International Affairs have again chosen a worthy winner of this award.'

Message from Dr Robin Niblett, Director

'As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought renewed energy to US diplomacy at a critical moment in international affairs, deepening key bilateral relations and strengthening US regional alliances. Her determination to reinforce the linkages between the goals of US diplomacy and development delivered significant achievements, especially in fostering new opportunities for girls and women across the world. I am delighted that our members have chosen her as the winner of this year's Chatham House Prize.'

Dutch Minister Verhagen at the United Nations

Four Freedoms Award ceremony

Your Royal Highnesses, Your Excellencies, distinguished Laureates, ladies and gentlemen,

It is my great privilege to address you at tonight’s award ceremony.

...

Ladies and gentlemen,

The Four Freedoms that President Roosevelt first articulated have inspired millions of people all over the world. They have been a source of comfort for human rights defenders in all corners of the globe. And they have served as a constant reminder for world leaders of their obligation to safeguard our most fundamental rights. The Dutch government is deeply committed to promoting and protecting human rights. We have placed human rights squarely at the centre of our foreign policy.

Madam Secretary (Hillary Clinton)

The universality of human rights is being challenged on many fronts in today’s world. Our response should be to stand together in support of these human rights. Our countries, and you and I personally, have worked together well to this end. Later this month, we will meet again at the United Nations to muster international support to end violence against girls, just one of the many causes you have consistently championed in your long career. In you, Madam Secretary, the world has found a true defender of justice and human rights. Many congratulations on being honored here tonight with the Four Freedoms Award. I look forward to continuing our close cooperation. Let me assure you of the Netherlands’ continued support and friendship.

To be honest, Jehmu Greene would vote for Mickey Mouse if he had a “D” after his name.

Pssst...it's Bueller. But I agree with the rest of your post.

Good catch. I've never been able to spell it right.

This is why I'm voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016
Jehmu Greene, political analyst for Fox News

Over the past few days, I've been reminded why I support Hillary Clinton for president of the United States. It's not just because she is a woman, but it's what she has done and continues to do on behalf of women all over the world.

Sunday was International Women's Day and the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, when Hillary Clinton boldly declared, "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights."

Hillary's dedication to women's rights, from that speech in Beijing 20 years ago through her time as senator, secretary of state and beyond, is one of the reasons I am so proud to know her and why I, along with so many others, am ready for Hillary.

Hillary has spent her life promoting women's rights. She has been a champion for advancing equal opportunities for women and girls in America and around the globe, calling women's empowerment "one of the great causes of my life."

Hillary Clinton was a powerful advocate for women in the Senate. She was an outspoken defender of a woman's right to choose and was one of the original co-sponsors of the Prevention First Act to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, thereby reducing the number of abortions.

Hillary Clinton recognized that when women succeed in the workplace, our entire economy benefits. She co-sponsored the original Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2007 and was a co-sponsor of the bill that became law in 2009. She also introduced in the Senate the Paycheck Fairness Act.

In the State Department, Secretary Clinton recognized women's rights as a major foreign policy issue. She named the first ambassador-at-large for global women's issues and advocated for the economic empowerment of women all over the world. She issued the first policy guide on promoting gender equality and expanding opportunities for women. Her vision of economic statecraft promoted women's entrepreneurship and urged nations to remove barriers that keep women from participating in the global economy.

While there have been many achievements in the past 20 years, many serious gaps remain.

To continue to break down barriers, we need leaders who understand that women's issues are also America's issues. Hillary Clinton has consistently put women's issues at the forefront of her agenda and fought to create opportunity for women, children and their families. Electing our first woman president would be an important step to ending gender inequality.

And the accomplishments would be? .... Buehler? Anyone??

JEB BUSH AWARDS HILLARY CLINTON THE 2013 LIBERTY MEDAL

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON - 2013 Liberty Medal Recipient

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was awarded the 2013 Liberty Medal in recognition of her lifelong career in public service and for her ongoing advocacy efforts on behalf of women and girls around the globe. Secretary Clinton was honored with the prestigious award during the 25th annual Liberty Medal ceremony on September 10, 2013 at the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall in Historic Philadelphia.

Throughout her nearly four-decade career as one of America’s most dedicated public servants, Secretary Clinton has continued to champion equal opportunities for women and girls in order to advance the security and prosperity of all people and nations. As the 67th Secretary of State, Clinton broke national and global barriers. She was the first First Lady to serve in a presidential Cabinet. She traveled to more countries than any other Secretary of State. She used social media to engage citizens in the workings of diplomacy, and she paid an official visit to Burma, making her the highest U.S. representative to do so in half a century. As Secretary of State, Clinton advocated for “smart power” in foreign policy, elevating diplomacy and development and repositioning them for the 21st century—with new tools, technologies, and partners, including the private sector and civil society around the world.

“Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy,” said National Constitution Center Chairman Governor Jeb Bush. “These efforts as a citizen, an activist, and a leader have earned Secretary Clinton this year’s Liberty Medal.”

Highly accomplished!

I'm a Dem but her ability to hoodwink masses into still seriously considering her as a candidate is a major accomplishment given her demonstrated bad judgment, lack of candor, and lack of transparency.

Ding ding ding!! We have a winner!
An accomplishment indeed!
Well stated. LOL!
