Continuing their less-than-estimable tradition of publishing cover stories based on premises that range from the debatable to downright laughable, the onetime print magazine Newsweek trolled the nation again on Friday when they declared Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is “the most powerful woman in American history.”
The argument Newsweek makes when declaring Clinton the “most powerful woman” in America’s 225 plus years of existence rests primarily on her sky-high popularity and her decades of service in government.
Though Clinton is popular, the author, Michael Tomasky, notes that “Not everyone is in on this love-fest.”
[E]ven the seething hatred has, over the years, embroidered her legend—debates about Clinton have somehow always ended up really being about us as a nation, who we are and who we want to be, in such a way that even those who dislike her are implicitly acknowledging that, yes, she is the touchstone.
Tomasky cedes the point that other “modern women” in American history have occupied positions of influence. He lists Eleanor Roosevelt, Elizabeth Candy Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, Gloria Steinem, and Phyllis Schlafly as examples of powerful women who altered the course of American history in some form...

Hillary the most powerful woman in American History? You sure don’t know your history. She doesn’t hold a candle to Eleanor Roosevelt! (Another liberal, Democrat)
Now we know what it gets to be a “powerful” woman...cover up the messes of a powerful man. She’s done that for two presidents so far. So I guess by those standards, perhaps she does qualify.
This has been orchestrated for 20 years...
Back when Hitlery was in the White Hut, what passed for Big Media at the time used to rave about her and Eleanor, who at that time used to be considered one of the big “great” women of this country.
Heil to the B***h of Banghazi. Hussein’s b***h.
Sandra Day O’Connor? (Or Justices Ginsburg, Kagan or Sotomayor?)
Harriet Beecher Stowe? (But that’s “influence,” not “power.”)
Barbara Dianne Boxer-Feinstein?
I guess they’re competing against the Onion.
Phyllis Schlafly, Edith Wilson and Sarah Palin would all be much more powerful than Hillary Clinton.
I was thinking Moms Mabley....
Think she was an intern during watergate.
Did hillarywhatdifferencedoesitmakeclinton also plug the leak for the gulf oil spill? /s I hear Chu did.
Oprah.
Let’s call a spade a spade. Neither Eleanor nor Hillary were “liberal” about anything. Both were committed communists trying, with their husbands, to change the United States into a socialist/communist worker’s paradise.
Hillary messed up on her 3:00am phone call from Benghazi.
Actually, she missed all of her phone calls for help from Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi.
She’s just another collectivist fabian communist globalist liar.
lolz
Take THAT Pelosi!
“Most powerful woman in American history”? Only when she forgets to use her deodorant.
Watch for all of the gaslighting (mind control) statements coming from government media, eg., Hillary Clinton ‘Most Powerful Woman In American History’; the borders are secured; we don’t have a spending problem, etc.
These statements are designed to resonate in the minds of the uninformed voters.
Paris Hilton influenced way more people than the Beast.
And she didn’t blame a video for anything (except for making her more successful).
Hillary Clinton is a humorless, bolshevik, feminist who would be only slightly less destructive to our nation than our current President if we would be so unfortunate to ever have her elected to that office.
