THE WOMAN, HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary Clinton answered the question that
everyone was waiting from 2008, where she lost to Barack Obama in the
Democratic race for the Presidency. The news was confirmed by her long-time campaign
manager, John Podesta, who wrote: “Its official – Hilary is running for
President.”
Who is Hillary Clinton, Hillary Diane
Rodham was born in October 1947 in Chicago. She graduated from Wesley College,
and Yale university law school, where she met Bill. The two married in 1975 and
lived in Arkansas – where Bill Clinton became governor. Hilary Clinton, then went
on to live in the White House for eight years from 1993 and 2001, while Bill
Clinton was President, and served as a senator and a Secretary of State. All
these years of experience will stand her in good stead for the grueling
campaign season ahead.
Why her? For many, Hilary also represents
hope, the hope of the first woman president, just like Obama was that hope
as first black President in the U.S. Besides, the Clintons are a household
name for their personality, charisma, and representation in leadership at
the highest level.
One to never to shy away from huddles, as a
teenager, Hilary wrote to NASA asking how she could become an astronaut, and
she received a reply saying she couldn’t, because she was a woman. But from now
on huddles are going to be massive; Republican are going to corner her on
Monica sex scandal, her fainting due to dehydrating stomach virus in 2013, the
Benghazi massacre termed as a security failure and the controversy over her
personal emails.
From here on in, Hillary has to tread a
thin rope and find her legacy, as Republican will be laying tarps for her to
fall. How she handles Russia and North Korea? Just a-few of the prominent
issues faced by America. She will need a strong campaign team, which will
handle substance cleverly and do damage controls diligently, along with paint an
image of her that Americans can trust
Hilary Clinton’s tenacious abilities are
for all to see but she needs to plant an image of her in the mind of the
average American that she will fight for them and solve their problems. She did
receive a boost from Barack Obama on the eve of her announcement; he told
reporters he thinks Clinton “would be an excellent president.”
