Hillary's Awards Case of Participation Trophies

I found this opinion piece on www.addictinginfo.com "Here’s A List Of Hillary Clinton’s Accomplishments, So Quit Saying She Doesn’t Have Any" from April 13, 2015 by Ryan Denson. Denson points to items like the following as Hillary's accomplishments:

          Former First Lady of Arkansas,
          Former First Lady of the United States,
          Former U.S. Senator, and
          Former Secretary of State.

The problem is these are "titles" not accomplishments. He goes on to site these as accomplishments:

• Even though her major initiative, the Clinton healthcare plan, failed ... it laid the groundwork for what we have today, the Affordable Healthcare Act, something Clinton supports and would continue. - She failed!
• She played a leading role in the development of State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage. - Played a leading role, how?
• She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act. - Instrumental, how?
• Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH). - What role did she play?
• She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it – Gulf War Syndrome. - Spearheaded investigations? Was she chairperson of a committee?
• At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women. - Helped create in what capacity?
• She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment. - Again, instrumental, how?
• Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clinton’s successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill).  - Gillibrand's accomplishment not hers.
• Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act. - Instrumental in what way?
•  Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster. - Proposed? So?
• Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma. - A proponent? So? What was her role?
• Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. - Ok, I'm for free trade too but Panama and Columbia are "small potatoes."
• Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date. - So she has frequent flyer miles. So what?

Here again these are not really anything more than things she participated in. They are vague and lack any concrete indication of how she made a difference. "Fought for", "played a leading role", "Was a major proponent of", "Proposed" etc. are all really weak words of endorsement. The last bullet point is perhaps the most laughable because a lot of good it did. Our international relationships are in a shambles and our standing in the world with allies and enemies alike is at the lowest point it has been in decades.

We shouldn't elect someone whose accomplishments are nothing more than a series of participation trophies. I know that flies with the "everyone gets a trophy crowd' these days but look where that has gotten us.We deserve better and should demand more.
