When I was in third grade, I remember thinking that Hillary Clinton was Queen of the United States. I don’t know exactly where I got this from, but I think it’s rooted from jokes that I used to hear from Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live that I just accepted as truth. However, to this point I never really had any hard evidence to say otherwise. True, the United States was not a monarchy, but for some reason I don’t think it’s too farfetched to compare her to a monarch. For eleven years she served as the First Lady of Arkansas and then held onto the same title for our county eight more years. During this period of almost two decades, she greatly expanded and sometimes questioned the limits to which a woman with this title could operate. Eleanor Roosevelt, Barbra Bush, and Nancy Reagan all put forth positive efforts in the 20th century and not quickly to be forgotten, however more so than those before her Mrs. Clinton has demonstrated to be arguable the most self-motivated and dynamic first ladies in our country’s history. No other first lady has had such an active role in the central of public policy matters. She, more than those who preceded her, put an at times relentless effort to accomplish a personal designed agenda. And whether these qualities are good or bad depends on who you ask. However, for the first time, this woman who previously moved forward with a seemingly unstoppable force, looks like she’s finally getting her throne contested. If Obama ends up getting the nomination, regardless if he prevails in the general election, will be deprive the Clinton political machine the right to proclaim “Long Live the Queen”.
