SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA TODAY. SIGN UP NOW AND TOGETHER WE CAN WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN AMERICA’S HISTORY
Senator Clinton is in route… She’s now arrived. It’s about to begin. A huge moment for Senator Clinton.
12:46 pm – Clinton takes the stage to a HUGE roar from the crowd. I’m so incredibly proud of this woman. She is my hero. ANY TIME. ANY WHERE. ANY YEAR. I am there for you. She’s trying to start speaking, but the crowd won’t let her. They are out of control with love and enthusiasm for their candidate. She means so much to so many.
“Well this isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure like the company….
12:51 pm – Thanking all of her 18 million strong supporters.
“The dreams we share are worth fighting for.”
12:54 pm – She did it. The way we can continue fighting for our goals is to elect Barack Obama.
“I endorse him and throw my full support behind him.”
1:01 pm – Today I am standing next to Senator Obama to say YES WE CAN. … That’s why we need to help elect Barack Obama our next president….
1:04 pm – We’ve answer whether a woman can be commander in chief. We answered that one. Can an African American be president. Barack Obama answered that one. I was running as a woman, but I thought I’d be the best president. I know there are still barriers and biases out there. …
Women need to enjoy equal pay, equal opportunity and equal respect. … There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century. … “
It is now unremarkable for a woman to win primaries. .. … That is truly remarkable. And when you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get up. THIS SPEECH IS BEYOND REMARKABLE.
“Every moment looking back keeps us from looking forward. Life is too short. Life is too precious. … That is why I will work my heart out to make sure Senator Obama is our next president and I hope all of you will work with me in that effort.”
The strongest and most remarkable speech of Senator Hillary Clinton’s career. Simply stunning.
