Bill Clinton's speech at the Empire State Plaza

After the announcement of the $4.4 billion big thing about small things, Bill Clinton spoke at the New York Open for Business conference Tuesday at the ESP. The video is embedded above. Clinton's speech starts at the 50:00 mark (you can just jump to that point).

At the beginning of the speech, Clinton gives a shoutout to Jerry Jennings and remembers... jogging in Albany.

Shout out to the Great Pumpkin! Tis the season.....

My two favorite quotes from the speech -
"‎When I came to office, I was a bleeding heart cheapskate"

and

"I use to be the youngest person doing whatever it was that I was doing. One day I woke up and I am the oldest person in every room."

I was able to attend, thanks to AOA giving us the heads up on it. It was enlightening!

The flamin' Federalist Papers were anonymous, for crying out loud. And so were the Anti-Federalist Papers. Guess what? Both sides were filled with negative statements. Somehow the republic survived.
