Hillary scored a major coup today as the recipient of a letter which touts the foreign policy experience she gained as First Lady.
This is a worthy answer to Obama's claim that he gained significant foreign policy expertise in grade school.

Here is one excerpt:
"As First Lady, Hillary was a highly effective and passionate advocate on
behalf of human rights around the world. She met with the mothers and
grandmothers of the disappeared in Argentina in 1997, survivors of the
Rwandan genocide, and mothers of children kidnapped in Uganda. She
advocated on behalf of women's rights around the globe. Perhaps most
famously, in her historic speech at the UN Conference on Women in
Beijing in 1995, she declared that "women's rights are human rights,"
inspiring actions in every corner of the globe to raise the status of
women. Building on her overseas work, Hillary spearheaded U.S. efforts
to combat human trafficking, and led the Vital Voices Democracy
Initiative to support emerging women leaders who were advancing social,
economic, and political progress in their respective countries."
Besides the strength of the endorsement, note how it shows that she had experience far beyond being a glorified hostess, and was a strong voice for human rights around the world.
Coupling this with her notable attention to the disabled, we get a picture of a passionate defender of the weak and a strong spokesperson for women's rights.
