Hillary Clinton's question?

Question

I find this question very troubling for these reasons, and wondered if someone can explain.

1) Why ask how breast cancer can be beaten, if not purely to promote herself to the voting public? The answer is very simple: resources bring results. If the US made curing cancer its number one priority, I believe it would cure it.

2) What use will Hillary's aides put the answers to? Sure, someone will read through them all, but to what ends? Will consensus opinion from the Yahoo Answers community shape her politics? What is the point?

Answer 1

I believe she had her agenda in mind, but it is good to educate the population. You know million of girls out there are crueless about what is happening around them, and if you read some questions, you will admit that lot of people are just plain crueless so let educate them.

I am not a fervent of Hillary, I like Bill for sure but still I think it is a good thing to educate people..

Answer 2

1. I think that she chose the question because she wanted to appear caring and knowing and in touch with the world - and yes, probably for self-promoting purposes. Of course it backfires because of her social position - everyone wonders what she's up to, including me!

2. I actually wonder if anyone will read the answers. And if they do they'll probably be used in another publicity scam showing how she communicated with the common people, or really listened to a world concern or something like that.

What puzzled me most is why she chose an unanswerable question - no one knows how we can beat breast cancer for certain so how could anyone answer it satisfactorily?

Answer 3

I don't like Hillary Clinton at all. I'm sure she, like other politicians, does things primarily to help herself.

But if in the meantime she raises awareness and gets people to do exams and catch the disease sooner, then she's done some good.

Again, I think she is bad for the country, and I did not answer her question. But there's always another side to it.

Answer 4

Like babyeddie, I am troubled by the focus on breast cancer. This already has about 10 times as much money spent on it as prostate cancer (which is nearly as common and as deadly in men as breast cancer is in women).

Answer 5

Well, if she isn't interested in why Pluto isn't a planet anymore, if she might be pregnant, why the sky is blue, or if her avatar is hot, what else should she ask about?

It's just a promotion for breast cancer awareness - notice that little pink ribbon on the Yahoo! front page?

Added: Hmmm...now I don't see the ribbon. Anyway, still b.c. awareness promotion.

Answer 6

Hilary Clinton is trying to get the votes as she is up for congress next year and its a good pr stunt to be a woman and ask a question about women's cancer. Lady should worry more about her husbands ladies under the cupboard. I don't like her one bit but then again I hate all politicians

Answer 7

It's quite impossible for me to see Hillary in the role as a cancer fighter when I consider her to be a cancer herself.

Answer 8

to respond to your question, No. Do you bear in mind some years in the past while that guy named Dean ran for president. He replaced into the front runner of the Democratic social gathering for virtually a year. He lost the 1st universal and all of us theory that it replaced right into a fluke. Then he lost the 2nd and 0.33, etc. The media had him picked because of the fact the subsequent president because of the fact of his polls, yet they did no longer pan out in the vote casting sales area. the element is, do no longer difficulty relating to the polls from the media, difficulty relating to the vote casting outcomes.

Answer 9

And why not focus on all cancer, not just breast cancer. They do that run for cancer charity thing, and only women seem to be allowed to enter!

Answer 10

To show that she cares about the women of America
