It was a special day for students at the University of Central Florida as the former President of the United States Bill Clinton came to rally support behind Barack Obama. There were a lot of speakers before Bill Clinton arrived. This was his first major stump speech since the Democratic National Convention.
His support for Obama has wavered from the get-go but this speech affirmed his support. There were moments when you could tell that he did not fully believe what he was saying but either way his speech was extremely powerful. He spoke about how Obama’s plan was better after reviewing every piece of paper from each campaign.
There were two points in the speech that I thought were awesome. Both related to him not really wanting to be there and his unwavering support. Other than those few points I felt like the Obama camp should have been pleased with the results of the speech.
He continued to compare his administration with the plans of the Obama campaign. He spoke of how the Obama camp is using many of Clinton’s advisers to deal with the problems during this tough time. The speech ended with a bang from the emotionally charged speaker. The crowd was going wild throughout the entire speech. It was my first time seeing a President speak and I really enjoyed it.
