On Wednesday, I had the privilege (along with 6,000 others) of seeing a very special guest on the UCF Arena Plaza. Here’s a hint: He is a former President. Here’s a better hint: His wife was a Democratic Presidential nominee for the 2008 elections. You’re right..it was President Bill Clinton! President Clinton made a pit stop at UCF Wednesday afternoon for his first rally for the Obama campaign. It was great to see so many college students endure the heat and the crowd in order to hear what our former President had to say. Most were Obama supporters but there were also many McCain fans, so it was a pretty diverse crowd. I really enjoyed what Clinton had to say and it was a nice treat to be able to see one of our greatest Presidents in person! I unfortunately did not get to shake his hand or speak with him but I fortunately did not pass out, like 20 people did from the heat. Luckily, Mr. Clinton wasn’t one of them even though his face was red as a strawberry! :-p
“I think you know when you vote for Barack Obama you’re not just voting for him. You’re voting for yourselves, your dreams, the children you have or hope to have, and everything you want America to be in the 21st century.” – Bill Clinton
How exciting!!!! I am so glad you were able to have this experience
