1Hillary Rodham Clinton
A Smarter America
2Background
- Her husband was the president of the United
States for two terms - Only first lady elected to be a senator
- Worked hard to fund 21.4 billion dollars to aid
clean up and recovery of the 9/11 tragedy - Visited American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq

- She has two major qualities

3Foreign Policy
Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but does
not end there. It will not end until every
terrorist group of global reach has been found,
stopped and defeated George W. Bush

- George W. Bushs plan of terrorism is to not only
stop the terrorist that have caused harm to the
United States but also to go after all terrorists - In this way we agree with President Bushs
foreign policy
4Foreign Policy
Senator Clintons foreign policy would go after
all terrorist around the world and the countries
that harbor terrorist One way that Senator
Clinton and President Bush differ is that Senator
Clinton would not declare war on a country that
does not threaten America directly
5Civil Rights
I strongly support diversity of all kinds,
including racial diversity in higher education.
But the method used by the University of Michigan
to achieve this important goal is fundamentally
flawed. President George W. Bush

030115-7.html President Bush believes that
colleges that have quotas for their students is
wrong and that giving students extra points, on
their application, solely by their race is
unconstitutional
6Civil Rights
- We agree with President Bushs view on
affirmative action because it says in the
constitution that all men are created equal - Senator Clintons policy on civil rights would be
similar only she would pass laws to enforce the
rights set forth in the constitution and make
employers and colleges obey them
7Healthcare Policy
President Bushs New Policy
New tax-free Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to
help more Americans gain affordable coverage.
The President wants to create HSAs, which will
help individuals and businesses save a
substantial amount on health insurance premiums
ands gain more control over their health care
spending. Americans who set up HSAs along with
the purchase of a low-cost, high-deductible
health care plan can use tax-free money to pay
for routine medical expenses, while gaining
protection against major medical expenses.

8Healthcare Policy
We agree with President Bushs new policy on
creating HSAs because it allows Americans to save
money, which will help the economic growth and
Americans will also gain more control of their
healthcare.
Senator Clintons policy follows along with the
same lines as President Bushs plan. Healthcare
is a basic need for everyone and with the new use
of HSAs Americans will be able to save money on
their health insurance and other medical
expenses. Americans who set up HSAs with the
purchase of a low-cost, high-deductible health
care plan will be able to use tax-free money to
pay for their routine medical expenses.
9Economic Policy
George W. Bushs six-point policy on creating
jobs for those who want them
- Allows families to plan for the future by making
tax relief permanent. - Encourages investment and expansion by
restraining Federal spending and reducing
regulation. - Makes our country less dependent on foreign
sources of energy through a comprehensive
national energy policy. - Expands trade and levels the playing field to
sell American goods and services across the
globe. - Protects small business owners and workers from
the explosion of frivolous lawsuits that threaten
jobs across America . - Lowers the cost of health care for small
businesses and working families through
Association Health Plans, tax-free Health Savings
Accounts, tax credits for employer contributions
to Health Savings Accounts, and Medical Liability
Reform.

10Economic Policy
Senator Clinton agrees with President Bush on the
lines of his economic policies and she feels they
will help the economy grow except his national
energy policy.
Under Senator Clinton Economic policies there
will be the continuous tax help for all
Americans. She also wants to protect small
American business owners and workers from the
lawsuits which have threaten jobs across America.
American goods will be sold around the world and
trade sales will grow. The one policy President
Bush has which Senator Clinton does not follow is
his national energy policy which makes our
country less dependent on foreign sources of
energy. Senator Clinton feels that we need other
countries just as much as they need us and that
trade would not follow through as well without
our foreign sources.
11Conclusion
Senator Clinton would be a good president for
many reasons
She is intelligent and has leadership skills She
would go after terrorist where ever they hid She
would uphold the United States Constitution that
ever man is created equal.
