In case anyone missed the speech, I recommend checking it out. If Bill Clinton was able to run today, I assure you he would win the presidential election. The ability to speak on issues many aren’t even fully aware of in such simplistic terms - that is genius.

i don’t know how many people are political or care but this is really important to me!! Please please PLEASE if you are old enough it’s important to register and educate yourself on the candidates. I personally support Obama just because of the progress he has made, both in the social arena and with the economy. I also know that many of the social reforms and steps towards a better economy that he has made would be completely reversed if a republican candidate came into office, as many (i.e. Mitt Romney especcially) have said that they will actively fight bills that give same sex couples the right to marry, fight socialized healthcare, cut funding to Planned Parenthood and other free clinics that administer education, help and birthcontrol to disadvantaged women and families. All these things would personally affect me. In the video Clinton also touches on the subject of student loans and Obamacare. definitely a good speech, i really suggest giving it a watch.
