Bill Clinton Supports Hillary in 35-Minute Speech

Former US President Bill Clinton held a 35-minute speech Thursday at Butler Traditional High School in Louisville, in which he discussed about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s position if she became the next US President. Another point of the speech was to advise people to ignore the media and the ones who sustain that Hillary would not get enough delegates for the Democratic nomination. Bill Clinton was listened carefully by an audience of almost 400 people.

"They've tried to bury her more times than a cat's got lives," Clinton said. Moreover, the former President put the stress on her victory from earlier this week in West Virginia, but also on the fact that she has won several swings, which are likely to lead to a Democratic victory against Republican Sen. John McCain in November. The New York Senator, Hillary, has great chances of winning Kentucky’s Democratic primary elections, which will take place on Tuesday. However, Sen. Barack Obama is in advantage with the number of delegates needed to capture the Democratic nomination.

Clinton rarely mentioned his wife’s opposition during the speech, focusing more on Hillary’s economic platform and her position on education, jobs, energy, collage loans, mortgage crisis, military and last but not least health care.

When the health issue came to the public's attention, Clinton pointed out the insurance companies’ costs and the fact that there were too many people who didn't have access to the insurance program.

"It's good enough for us and you should have access," he said. More than half of the members of the audience raised their hands when asked whether they knew someone who was uninsured.

The public appreciated his message. For example, Kentucky.com reports that Kathleen Helm said, "I definitely like what I heard today. It makes me want to find out more." Moreover, when the former president asked the audience: "Who would be the best president for me, my family, my state?" the 400 people answered "Hillary!"
