...in front of my audience to persuade and give them a better understanding of why we should all vote for Hillary Clinton. She is much more qualified than any other leaders the world has ever seen and her qualifications are as follows. The experience section in the Hillary Clintons resume is endless. According to the Princeton.edu, on January 1993, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first lady of the United States of America. During that period, she was appointed by Bill Clinton as the head of the task force on the national health reform, in which she fought for universal health care for all Americans. Later the topic became a controversy with the President not investing a lot of time on the issue. As a result the reform was delayed and came to a halt. Even though she was not successful, most critics believed she did exceedingly wonderful as her first time in Federal Power....

...On May 31, 1969, Hillary Clinton was the first student to make a commencement speech at her own graduation. Of course, over the past fifty plus years she has accomplished a multitude of firsts but the words spoken here, by twenty-one year old Hillary Rodham, have resonated with me as I evaluate why I too want to attend Wellesley College next fall. She calls, “to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible.” I believe this transcends beyond the realm of political science and into neuroscience, astronomy, women’s studies or any of the other over fifty majors offered at Wellesley. For me, the community and atmosphere consisting of a sisterhood of diverse women would be the quintessential environment for me to...

...within the United States, but many countries still refuse to acknowledge the rights of women. On September 5, 1995, Hillary Clinton addressed the distinguished delegates and guests of the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women with a heartfelt speech requesting the silence of women in many countries to be heard. The words and tone of Clinton’s speech reached out to the audience to take a stand against the violation of women’s rights. Hillary Clinton is known by many as a true women’s activist. The quest for women’s rights came long before Clinton’s political career. Clinton had dreamed of becoming an astronaut in her early years, but those dreams were crushed after gaining the knowledge that women were not accepted into the NASA program (Hillary). Clinton obtained her degree from Yale Law School in 1969, and immediately pursued a career in politics. Hillary assisted Bill Clinton in managing his campaign for a congressional seat in 1974, and they later married in 1975 (Hillary). Clinton was awarded numerous awards, including Young Mother of the Year and Woman of the Year, during her husband’s time as governor in Arkansas. These awards and the role she played in her husbands’ career had left Clinton with a high reputation in Arkansas. She was known as “one of the state’s most powerful political figures and a well-known national leader” (Hillary). Hillary Clinton’s purpose was clearly spoken for all attending the conference in which she spoke on the rights of women. ...

...Serving the People, Through the People “He’s never balanced a budget, but I have 11 times” stated William Jefferson Clinton in his acceptance speech at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Clinton did an award winning job of giving a speech in such a way, that his audience felt personally connected with him and his motives. With Clinton’s comforting values and his impressive choice of words, he let his audience, the common middle-class Democrat, know that they were on the top of his agenda if he was elected as the President of The United States. Through the use of great wording and in-depth examples of his honorable values, Clinton demonstrated that he was the man for the job. Clinton appealed to many listeners by his care full use of ethos, these ethos included personal experiences and his demonstration of selflessness in whole. “I am a product of that middle class, and when I am President, you will be forgotten no more,” Clinton remarked. When Clinton made this statement, he had all of his viewers in mind. He showed that with his small town ethics, he could bring the power back to the people. A great example of this would be when Clinton stated, “The election is about putting power back in your hands and putting the government back on your side.” Clinton extensively thanked his mother for his fighting spirit and his courage in life. Before Clinton was born, his father died in an accident. His mother had a make a sacrifice, this sacrifice was to send Bill to live with...

...IS HILLARY CLINTON preparing a run for the White House? Before pondering that timely question, consider another which may matter just as much. Why would any Democrat want to become president in 2016? Mrs Clinton is certainly giving people cause to ask the first question. Before too long, she will need to answer the second. On September 14th she headed to Iowa for the first time since her wounding defeat by Barack Obama in that state’s 2008 Democratic caucus. The former secretary of state, senator and First Lady made her return in a friendly, controlled setting. Accompanied by her husband, Bill, she was the guest star at the Harkin Steak Fry, a combined picnic, fundraiser and clan gathering for fans and friends of Tom Harkin, Iowa’s Democratic senator and an old-school New Deal populist. No national politician heads to Iowa on a whim. Winning Iowa’s first-in-the-nation presidential contest does not sew up the nomination. But losing Iowa badly (in 2008 Mrs Clinton came third behind Mr Obama and John Edwards, a caddish lawyer) can derail a campaign built round inevitability. Senator Harkin tried to consign that rejection to history, calling the Clintons America’s “comeback couple” and, to Iowa Democrats, “family”. Mr Harkin is retiring after 40 years in Congress. The Clintons were at pains not to overshadow their host. They used his-and-hers speeches to heap praise on Mr Harkin, bash Republicans and urge Democrats to vote in November’s mid-term elections. The lovely setting, a...

...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war, California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate. At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...

...team of politics, Hillary and Bill Clinton. Both have held public leadership positions and were held to a certain standard. So we will take a look at the leader and their style as public administrators. Next we will compare the two styles, the effectiveness of their leadership and the impact of their genders as leaders. Then, we will take a look at their strengths and weaknesses and evaluate the effectiveness of their terms as public officials. Finally I will review my own strengths and weakness that would influence my ability to be a public leader. Public Leader Overview The transformational leadership (TL) is when leaders take their vision for the future and excite and motivate others to join in. Often times this vision is developed solely but the leader, but occasionally other levels of management and/or other organizational members. The transformational leader leads through charisma and motivation. Much like a coach, these leader encourage their followers to obtain the ultimate goal; often times through their own beliefs and personal values and strengths. Former president William “Bill” Clinton, fits in to the category of a transformational leader. During his presidency he was credited for having the ability of getting others to believe in his vison. As a transformational leader, the process that changes and transforms people by appealing to their followers’ values while creating a connection between the groups was an ability that President Clinton definitely posed...

...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...

...Yijun Hu COM1600a Apr.10. 2015 Week1 News News: How Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign machine will kick into gear By Anne Gearan and Philip Rucker April 10 Hillary Rodham Clinton will formally enter the presidential race with an announcement on Sunday followed by appearances on the campaign trail next week, three people familiar with her plans said on Friday, ending months of anticipation surrounding the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination. Clinton plans to launch her campaign via social media and with a video on Sunday articulating her rationale for seeking the White House. She'll then travel to the first-in-the-nation caucus state of Iowa early next week for campaign events, these people said. She is expected to hold mostly small discussion events with voters designed to help the former secretary of state connect with ordinary Americans and listen to their concerns, forgoing the large rallies and traditional announcement speeches of some of her Republican rivals. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, Clinton's fundraising machine is revving up. Her top bundlers are plotting aggressive outreach to thousands of Democratic donors over the weekend and into next week urging them to immediately send checks and make donations online as soon as the Clinton campaign's Web site goes live. Democratic strategists, advisers and fundraisers described Clinton's plans only on the condition of anonymity because she and her team...

...Clinton on Trump’s foreign Policy. Hillary Clinton on Thursday, commented on a wide range of Donald J Trump’s foreign policy statements. In a sharpe rebuke of her likely Republican opponent, she said that he was hopelessly unprepared and temperamentally unfit to be the commander in Chief. She also added that electing him would be terrible mistake. Clinton said of Trump, “this in not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us to war because someone got under his very thin skin”. Mrs. Clinton was speaking to an audience in San Diego who laughed and cheered as she debunked Mr. Trumps foreign policy pronouncements. She said they were “not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lie”. The speech revealed what was likely to be the core argument that Clinton will carry into the general election. Her speech was a mixture of biting sarcasm and somber assessment of the Obama years. There were no new policy prescriptions in her speech, while skipping over difficult episodes during her tenure as secretary of state, the NATO intervention in Libya and its bloody aftermath in Benghazi. It won her the kind of sustained live coverage that Mr. Trump has routinely enjoyed. Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s declaration of support for Trump stole her thunder in the first few minutes of the Clinton speech. Clinton said she imagined that Trump was composing nasty tweets about her even as she spoke which tuned...
