in 1999, when the president talked of his efforts to create a government “rooted in our oldest values of opportunity, responsibility and community…determined to give our people the tools they need to make the most of their own lives in the 21st century.”

Today Bill Clinton spoke to several hundred attendees at event sponsored by the Arkansas Democratic Party

Bill Clinton fired up the Arkansas delegation at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, blasting Republicans for piling up the national debt and giving a preview of the speech he will give to the full convention on Wednesday.


"This economy that [President Obama] inherited was profoundly ruined. Nobody who's ever served -- no one, including me -- has ever been expected to turn it around overnight," Clinton said. "The economy failed and hit bottom six months after Republicans took office. Nine percent. That's almost Depression-level shrinkage. And I'll give you the details tomorrow night, but that's quite a blow."

"And it was really interesting to me that when [Obama] was trying so hard to put Americans back to work -- two full years before the election -- the Senate Republican leader said that their number one goal was not to put America back to work, it was to put the president out of work," he added.  read more here http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/04/bill-clinton-speech_n_1850525.html

September Events at the Clinton Center

Play Ball! The St. Louis Cardinals," the Clinton Center's tribute to America's pastime and one of the sport's most storied franchises, closes this month. There is still time to see more than 100 artifacts, a World Series Trophy, and Stan "The Man" Musial's restored uniform. The Center's second temporary exhibit, "Dorothy Howell Rodham & Virginia Clinton Kelley," tells the story of two remarkable women and the changing role of women during the second half of the 20th century. For a limited time only, see the original document that gave women the right to vote. Forty Two takes travelers to South America, and students can turn their good ideas into scholarship money.
