Bill Clinton Speaks At UCF
WFTV 9 ^ | 9 AUG 2009

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- President Bill Clinton spoke to a group of students at the University of Central Florida on Sunday. Clinton addressed the first class of a new leadership program at the school.

Clinton challenged students to make a difference in their communities.

“Once you believe the tomorrow doesn't have to be like yesterday, the whole world opens up,” Clinton said.

His speech lasted about 30 minutes, but his message was clear.

“You can make a better tomorrow for Florida,” Clinton added.

It was a message heard loudly and clearly by those in the crowd.

“It was really empowering. It makes me more motivated to go back to my hometown and create change," said student Amanda Maier.

Clinton also concentrated on shortcomings the state of Florida is facing right now.

"There is a direct correlation. Florida spends the least per capita on education, but ranks 16th in incarceration," Clinton said.

The former President urged his audience to lobby for more money for education. Doing so, he said, would lower the juvenile crime rate in the state.

Clinton also urged the audience to ask their legislators for more money for healthcare.

“Leadership Program”? Probably studied things like “community organizing, how to tax, how to lie”.

Math? Science? History? Writings of the founders?

Feggetabowdit.

What a bunch of c***, er, Obama.

Ask the fraud why he didn't do that when he had a chance as Governor of Arkansas.

Give the teachers union more money. Man, that is a novel idea. /sarcasm.

Midnight Basketball Alert!

Bubba RAT's soft bigotry of low expectations: "Let the black boys have a place to shoot hoops (or more money for schools) and they'll stop committing crimes. Oh, and just ignore the 77% illegitimacy rate."

How about lobby students to take advantage of the education they are already being offered?

Ugh, brings back that awful memory of the song, “Don’t Stop Thinking about Tomorrow”, from either one of his conventions or after he won election...made me hate that song.
