(sigh) Once again, the absolute best way to take in a terrific speech like this is to watch it and then move on, without reading the (mostly) embittered useless bile that is the comments section underneath.
+Molly Darnell Did you actually watch what Meryl Streep said? If you have to ask what about Hillary's life is an inspiration, you most likely would not understand the answer. If you've ever read the truth about Hillary, what she has PRIVATELY done for people without ever asking for or receiving credit, and yet you are not impressed, then PLEASE tell us all about your amazing life helping women and saving people's lives all over the world. Clearly you have flown the world floating on angel wings and farting money to every dispossessed suffering soul who ever lived.

Hillary has spent her entire life developing her voice and her abilities. Working for all people especially women and children. She is clearly the most uplifted qualified candidate
What an incredible tribute to an incredible leader. We are so lucky as Americans to have Meryl Streep and Hillary Clinton, both amazing, talented women who rose to the top of their fields. Hillary will be one of our greatest Presidents.
+Anna Natille I'm trying to understand what everyone sees in her. I haven't decided who to vote for, and I want to be sure I haven't missed some redeeming quality about her that would make her my choice. So far, I have only seen her bad side.
I never thought this day would come... the day your two inspirations, from two seemingly independent worlds, come together for one night. My life has been made.
What a speech, wow Meryl Streep is not only the best actor! Just love her for her depth in acting and in what she has to tell the world in her great speeches!!
Meryl speech was very moving and touching with alot of funny. Hope she keeps growing her hair out. Long hair suits her. Breaking out the oscar at the end was totally awesome. Only Meryl could of done that. Streep/Clinton 2016!
What is the spelling for the Chinese Doctor mentioned at 9:56 ? I could care less about 'ol Clinton. But I'm intrigued by this woman. I am trying to google her but I'm just terrible at spelling.
A must watch for all womwn.......and all men! Regardless of your political persuasion & perception of Hilary Clinton to date. You cannot help but be inspired!
Who was directed here by Daily Kos? This video and my video "Hillary Clinton is a boss" need to be posted everywhere. You can't help but be a Hillary fan after watching both. 2016 here we come! The Clinton's are coming back to town!!
I respect Meryl completely for her talent, and of course, she is reveling in her high moments and the good things Hillary has done. However, the culmination of her and her husbands behind the scene activities that got her to her position and how so many peoples lives have been negatively affected, and have been documented as fact, are issues that people also need to look at and take into consideration, without the political right or left glasses. Then decide if Hillary were your boss, would you feel comfortable or wonder if your future was secure in her hands. Think about it.
+Lisa Shelton Documented as fact where? Please give the sources for your certainty that the Clinton history you know is not the Clinton history that Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Roger Ailes, Rhoades, et al want you to think you know. Please provide sources from reputable journals or periodicals, check to see whether they've been debunked, then continue with your argument. (David Brock has admitted that the Arkansas Troopers lied to him when he reported "Troopergate," for instance, so you can't use that one.)
Hillary is doing everything in her power to raise consciousness. So thankful that girls around the world have her as a role model. And it's nice to see her work being recognized & celebrated. Love everything about this!
2 really bright women. They are indeed an inspiration to every woman and citizen of this country. Hillary, you are the reason this country still holds respect amongst foreign nations! Bravo!!
Thank you Hillary for standing watch, bearing witness, for doing, for saving lives, for spotlighting injustices, for saying what needs to be said, for everything
Hillary is an example and a rolemodel for all women all over the world, no matter if she lost the elections in the US. 'Women's rights ARE human rights', hear hear. We are Hillary, let's always be Hillary.
oh my Goodness, one of my Icons... Meryl Streep, wonderful words about Hilary Clinton... Meryl is an actor... and I love the vulnerability she exposes as a public speaker, clearly not her comfort place
"Madam Ambassador, how do you 'FEEL' about the New American Century?" --- "Eck Eck, Eck-Eck Eck-Eck, Eck Eck Eck, Eck-Eck-Eck-Eck." --- "Eck-Eck, Eck Eck-Eck, Eck-Eck, Eck Eck-Eck, Eck Eck Eck." --- "Thank you Madam Ambassador." (sic) (Hiya Jack, Gary)
i love meryl and hillary.2 great women.

Hillary has spent her entire life developing her voice and her abilities. Working for all people especially women and children. She is clearly the most uplifted qualified candidate
How did that "qualified" candidate work out for you?
She worked only for rich women
What an incredible tribute to an incredible leader. We are so lucky as Americans to have Meryl Streep and Hillary Clinton, both amazing, talented women who rose to the top of their fields. Hillary will be one of our greatest Presidents.
+Anna Natille What do you think Hillary stands for, and how do you see her exemplifying this currently?
+Molly Darnell Did you watch this video? It speaks volumes about what she stands for. She is one of our greatest leaders.
+Anna Natille I did watch this video months ago, hence my earlier comments. Can you answer my question to you?
+Molly Darnell Are you doing some kind of research?
+Anna Natille I'm trying to understand what everyone sees in her. I haven't decided who to vote for, and I want to be sure I haven't missed some redeeming quality about her that would make her my choice. So far, I have only seen her bad side.

It truly is inevitable. And you can tell by the trolling going on in the comments that she is a powerful force.
**Hillary/Powell 2016**
Chelsea's father is Webber Hubble which says it all about Hillary.
"Madam Ambassador, how do you 'FEEL' about the New American Century?"
--- "Eck Eck, Eck-Eck Eck-Eck, Eck Eck Eck, Eck-Eck-Eck-Eck."
--- "Eck-Eck, Eck Eck-Eck, Eck-Eck, Eck Eck-Eck, Eck Eck Eck."
--- "Thank you Madam Ambassador." (sic) (Hiya Jack, Gary)
Wish Meryl could be Sec'y of State.
I knew Hillary was and is the real deal long before most people understood her depth. Go Hillary!!!
