  • A YIDDISH GUIDE to HILLARY CLINTON by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe
    A YIDDISH GUIDE TO HILLARY CLINTON by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe Syosset, New York Hillary Clinton kicked off her presidential campaign on June 13, in New York City. The lady who once declared, “I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas,” wants to reside in the White House. This proud “bobe” to baby Charlotte, says she’s the most qualified to become president because she was married to a president for eight years. One late night comedian commented: “Now let me ask you, if a brain surgeon (“moyekh khirurg”) quit his job, would everyone in the operating room say, ‘Wait, let’s get his wife?’” Shown below is a Yiddish guide to Hillary Clinton: “machatunim”/”mechutonim” (relatives through marriage, In-laws. Relationship of fathers of bride and groom) “The 2016 presidential race is shaping up to be the ‘most Jewish’ race in the history of the United States, according to a residential historian and former White House staffer, TEVI TROY. “Think about it, both candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have ‘machatunim’ (Jewish inlaws of their daughters)”, Dr Troy was quoted as saying by the NJ Jewish news. Chelsea Clinton is married to Marc Mezvinsky, and Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, is married to the Orthodox Jewish, Jared Kushner. Bernie Sanders is Jewish, and Lauren Bush Lauren, a niece of Rep. hopeful, Jeb Bush, is married to David Lauren, son of Jewish fashion designer, Ralph Lauren.” Source: Jacob Kornbluh, JPUPDATES “yosher” (fairness) “Bill Clinton was being interviewed recently, and he said that despite all the speculation, Hillary hasn’t said anything to him about running for president in 2016.

  • New Democrat" Family Policy
    Abstract: Clintonism and the Legacy of "New Democrat" Family Policy Hofstra University's 11th Presidential Conference: William Jefferson Clinton: The ''New Democrat" from Hope My presentation will assess President Clinton's family policy from the perspective of what it suggests about ''New Democrat," or "Third Way" politics. By "Third Way" I refer to the term used by organizations such as The Progressive Policy Institute and the Democratic Leadership Council. In Clinton's 1992 campaign, this "Third Way" involved a "new social contract" of "mutual responsibility": government should afford opportunity to people, who, in return, should take responsibility and adhere to such core values as work, family, and personal responsibility . As expressed in Clinton and AJ Gore's campaign book, Putting America First (1992), government should reward people willing to "play by the rules." This rhetoric, with its appeal to values, has been noted as a successful attempt, by Democratic politicians, to attract voters around themes of values and family - such that they were not the domain only of the Republicans. (Contrast, for example, the 2004 election, in which, poll data suggests, voters concerned over "values" - especially,fami/y values - supported Bush, rather than Kerry .) To evaluate President Clinton's family policy, I will focus on three significant pieces of legislation that he signed: Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). FMLA, which Clinton's predecessor, George H. Bush, did not sign but candidate Clinton promised to, made many workers eligible for three months of unpaid leave to take care of family members .
