Bill Clinton: Obama Is America’s Future

October 30, 2008

At a late-night rally held in Kissimmee, Florida, on Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton offered strong words of support for the Democratic presidential nominee: “Barack Obama represents America’s future, and you’ve got to be there for him next Tuesday.” Clinton spelled out his reasons for supporting Barack Obama, and urged the crowd of over 35,000 not just to vote but to help convince anyone still on the fence why they should support the Democratic ticket.

“If you make the decision based on who can best get us out of the ditch, who’s got the best philosophy, the best positions, the best ability and the best judgment, I think it’s clear. The next President of the United States should be – and with your help, will be – Senator Barack Obama.”

The rally was the first joint appearance of the campaign for Pres. Clinton and Sen. Obama, and offered another stark reminder of the need for leadership in Washington. “In case all of you forgot,” said Obama as he took the microphone, “this is what it’s like to have such a great president.” Watch video of the entire event:
