Turning Republican attacks on their head, Clinton offered a tacit admission that his wife was part of the political scenery and that she was not always as flashy, or such a gifted orator, as other politicians.
I agree with this statement. We have the most powerful military. It’s not feminism, it’s life as we

As it stands, Australian women are paid 17.9 per cent less than men for doing exactly the same job – something that many say is just ridiculous and wrong in this day and age.
Ann Henry, the woman who hosted Bill and Hillary Clinton’s wedding reception, also journeyed to Philadelphia to celebrate the historic milestone. “This has been a really big deal for me”. “It’s a very positive thing and I do hope that the election will be decided on the issues, rather than on gender and personality”.

Clinton haters, and there are a lot of them, no doubt hated the speech.
