One of the best parts of Hillary's confirmation speech:

Also from La Here is one of the best parts of Hillary’s confirmation speech.

And I want to pledge to you that as secretary of State, I view these issues [violence against women] as central to our foreign policy — NOT AS ADJUNCT OR AUXILIARY OR IN ANY WAY LESSER THAN all of the other issues that we have to confront. I mean, it is heartbreaking beyond words that, you know, young girls are attacked on their way to school by Taliban sympathizers and members who do not want young women to be educated. IT’S NOT COMPLICATED! They want to maintain an attitude that keeps women — as I said in my testimony — unhealthy, unfed, uneducated and this is something that results all too often in violence against these young women…. THIS IS NOT CULTURE. THIS IS NOT CUSTOM. THIS IS CRIMINAL. So we’re going to have a very active Women’s Office…. We’re going to be speaking out consistently and strongly against discrimination and oppression of women and slavery, in particular, because I think that is keeping not only with American values, as we all recognize, BUT AMERICAN NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS AS WELL.

Thank you for sharing Cleffnote.  Unlike Obama, I always feel her passion.

Hi cleffnote,

That was my favorite part of her dialogue with the committee as well. Thanks for getting that in here!

cleffnote, thank you so much!   I like her expression of gratitude to the people of New York, her colleagues, her staff.  New York will always be a part of her spirit in everything that she will do.  She will always be an optimist that America's best days will be ahead.  Amazing!  It will be good to get the full text.
