Four former U.S. secretaries of state shared a stage at Woolsey Hall on April 18 and offered their insights on the state of democracy both at home and abroad.

Madeleine Albright, Condoleeza Rice, Hillary Clinton ’73 J.D., and John Kerry ’66 B.A. — four of the nation’s last six chief diplomats — had a nuanced conversation, which Kerry moderated, that touched on a range of issues, including the degree to which political polarization has affected America’s ability to advance its interests, protect human rights, and promote democracy across the globe.

The discussion was part of “Challenges to Democracy at Home and Abroad,” a two-day conference hosted by the Kerry Initiative at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, an interdisciplinary program that Kerry founded in 2017 to tackle pressing global challenges through teaching, research, and international dialogue. The conference brought together political leaders, journalists, and scholars to approach the problems facing democracy from a variety of angles.

Hillary took the “out” in GOTV literally and went door to door in the snow. To warm up, she grabbed coffee at a local spot, and rallied voters at a few campaign events, one of them with Madeleine Albright.

A campaign rally in Portsmouth will be aired by C-Span later (check your local listings).  Tomorrow, Hillary will be in Flint Michigan to talk about the crisis there.  She will be on several Sunday morning shows as well. Again, check your local listings.

Hillary Clinton Outlines “No Ceilings” Initiative at Pennsylvania Conference for Women

Posted in Appearances, Clinton Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Speaking Engagements, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on November 1, 2013| 13 Comments »

At a sold out event studded with powerhouse names, Hillary Clinton took the stage this afternoon to outline her latest Clinton Foundation initiative entitled “No Ceilings.”  Originally announced at the Clinton Global Initiative in September,  the project is intended to examine the progress of women in all sectors of society since Hillary’s landmark speech as First Lady in Beijing in 1996.  Results are expected by 2016 for the 20th anniversary of that address.  She presented the rationale and details at the 10th Pennsylvania Conference for Women held today at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

As at the State Department, she was preceded on the stage today by Madeleine Albright who was interviewed in the morning keynote by Karen Tumulty.  New to Twitter, Madeleine tweeted a few photos (as did Ms. Tumulty).  One twitpic she shared showed the “pinwomen” she sported on her jacket, a play on the hashtag for the event,  #pennwomen.  As many know, Secretary Albright was noted for her variety of brooches during her days at State.

Introduced by former PA  governor and friend, Ed Rendell,  Hillary enumerated the many ceilings standing in the way of women’s full participation in society in her afternoon keynote,  a challenge she routinely refers to as the unfinished work of the 21st century,  and alluded as well to recent cuts to social safety networks here in the US as the removal of the floor beneath the feet of struggling women – especially single moms.

Speaking, as has become her signature style, sans podium, notes, and teleprompter, she ended her remarks by exhorting the audience of more than 7,000 to “get cracking.”

Not to be outdone by Twitter newbie, Madeleine,  Hillary also tweeted out a message.

No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project. Our new BHCCF initiative to accelerate progress for all women and girls.

New Poll: Who is your favorite Secretary of State … ever?

Posted in Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secretary of State, tagged , , , , , , , on April 1, 2013| 6 Comments »

If you voted in this poll last week, you might be interested to know that Hillary won impressively and now is being pitted against Thomas Jefferson. Scroll down to see the latest poll.

Presidential Madness (Round 2): Favorite modern secretary of state

By NCC Staff | National Constitution Center

Here are the six nominees for best modern secretary of state, along with a quick bio of their time in office:

1. George C. Marshall. Served 1947 – 1949. As Harry Truman’s secretary of state, Marshall’s Plan rebuilt Europe after World War II, and he was later awarded a Nobel Prize for his efforts.

2. Henry Kissinger. Served 1973 – 1977. The high-profile secretary for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, Kissinger was a career diplomat who pioneered the policy of detente with the Soviet Union.

3. George P. Shultz. Served 1982 – 1989. Only one of two people to serve in four different cabinet positions, Shultz led the State Department for most of the Reagan era.

4. Madeleine Albright. Served 1997 – 2001. The first woman to serve as secretary, Albright played an important role in the Clinton administration.

5. Condoleezza Rice. Served 2005 – 2009. A Shultz protégé, Rice first served as President George W. Bush’s national security adviser before becoming secretary of state.

6. Hillary Clinton. Served 2009 – 2013. The former first lady served in the Senate and then became the most-traveled secretary ever as part of the Obama administration.

Here is the less than fair and balanced poll pitting Hillary (the “modern” winner) against Thomas Jefferson (the “historical winner). It is never fair to pit an historical figure against one whose history is not complete. For what it is worth, here is that poll.

Presidential Madness (Round 9): Pick the best secretary of state ever!

At Constitution Daily, madness doesn’t just apply to the NCAA—it’s also an awesome excuse to give the bracket treatment to the executive branch of government. This year, it’s all about the presidential Cabinet.
