Clinton Draws A Crowd of 14,000 In Oakland

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton described herself to cheering thousands Sunday as the only candidate with the know-how to turn the country around.

A crowd of 14,000, by the campaign's estimate, packed into downtown Oakland's 14th Street between Clay Street and Broadway for a two-hour ''block party" featuring political speeches and musical performances that began at 4:30 p.m. and culminated with the candidate's arrival onstage at about 6:20 p.m.

"Change is just a word if you don't have thestrength and experience to make it happen," the junior senator from New York told her audience. "I believe I can find common ground, but I also know how to stand my ground."

Clinton said she aims to ensure quality affordable health care for every American, tackle global warming, eliminate America's dependence on foreign oil, appoint jurists and an attorney general who believe in the rule of law and bring U.S. troops home from Iraq while restoring America's leadership role in the world.

"If you're ready for change, I'm ready to lead, and together we will take our country back — I make that promise to you."

She vowed that the day after she's elected, she would send envoys from both political parties around the world to begin rebuilding the trust and good will squandered by the Bush administration. "The era of cowboy diplomacy is over."

co-exist peacefully
A brief, civil argument ensued.
Obviously, no DUers were present!
:rofl:

She isn't wasting everyone's time spouting derogatory memes about her opponents. She is all about the BIG Picture. Health Care, Global Warming, Alternative Fuel Options, bringing our troops home and restoring our image as a positive leader of the Free World.
