Everyone's talking about Obama's legislative record, what about Hillary's?

Sure she's been around a long time but what exactly has she accomplished? After 7 years in the Senate, she's failed to spearhead any major legislation. Her most notable votes were supporting the Iraq War and the Patriot Act all the way till 2005 and only changing course when they were no longer popular. She even opposed the Levin resolution to seek UN approval first before invading Iraq. As first lady, she wasn't given a security clearance, didn't attend National Security council meetings, didn't receive the president's daily intel briefing, and wasn't even talking to Bill when he bombed Afghanistan and Sudan (NY Times 12/26). So can anyone tell me what she's achieved other than supporting the Iraq War, marrying Bill, and being around a long time?
