Why Hillary Should Be Our Next President

In case you, like me, are wondering why the heck Hillary Clinton should be elected our next president, seeing as she has done almost nothing of note, I checked around and found the following reasons from a host of Internet sources:

"Being the fodder for numerous internet memes may seem like the most ephemeral of achievements, but Clinton's ascendancy in the world of pop culture must be counted as a victory for a politician who was once widely viewed as calculating and heartless."-- Ryu Spaeth, Deputy Editor, THE WEEK

"Perhaps Hillary’s greatest accomplishment occurred during the absurd attack by the Clinton Conspiracy wing of the conservative resurgence on Willy’s private parts.... Her simple refusal to respond as a stereotypical appendage to a male patriarch, more than anything else, cemented her reputation as an independent free-thinker and elevated the status of women in America to an irrefutable position of equality."  -Daily Kos

"I really see my role as secretary, and, in fact, leadership in general in a democracy, as a relay race. You run the best race you can run, you hand off the baton."--Hillary Clinton

"I am certain that those who were here at the time, who worked hard on that effort, could point out one."  --Jen Psaki, spokesperson for Clinton, when asked to name one accomplishement of Hillary as Secretary of State.

"She has been a strong advocate for a revamping of society morally, stating we were suffering from a 'sleeping sickness of the soul.'"- Anonymous 

"Her star power and ability to capture the imagination of individuals around the world is one noteworthy aspect of her success."--Eli Sugarman

"Clinton was not intimately involved in the clandestine operation to kill Osama bin Laden in 2011, but she will be indelibly linked to the moment, thanks to a photograph showing her real-time response to the operation in the White House Situation Room."--THE WEEK

I must say, Hillary's placement of her hand over her mouth in the photo above tells me all I need to know about her leadership abilities. I feel a lot better now.
