Dr. Clinton?

This is just a small piece coming out of Sweden. Last week, Hilary Clinton was awarded an honorary doctorate in medicine from Gothenburg University in Western Sweden.

"Hillary Clinton's involvement in issues around medical research andhealth problems are well known," said Professor Olle Larkö, dean at theSahlgrenska Academy.

"She is also a strong advocate for increased investment in medical research."

This may not seem like a big deal to some, but having lived in a nation with Universal Healthcare for the past five years, I can say that the spirit in which this honor was granted upon Clinton was one of the greatest respect.
The link is to a Swedish website (written in english of course,) because I had some trouble finding anything about it in the headlines of the US news or even on Hillary's website. If you know what you're looking for, you can dig deep and find it though. (Damn Liberal Media!)
I just figured that for all the heat Hillary took in the 90's for her proposals on Health Care Reform, and all of the heat she's going to be taking over the upcoming months over the same issue, its comforting to know that there are some countries that view her attempts as noble and progressive. Now if only Swedes could vote in the 08 election!
