What Hillary Clinton sounded like 47 years ago
This is an interesting and enlightening digital artifact. The introduction alone is worth a listen:
In 1969, Hillary Rodham, at age 21, was the first student ever to give a commencement speech at Wellesley College, and the college has just released excerpts of it. I would not have recognized her voice, which was higher-pitched and had a faster rhythm, but she had the same intensity and self-assuredness then as she does now.
That is the Hillary I’m voting for. I hope she shows up in the White House.
Hear, hear.
It is amazing how much voices change. You can hear some of her voice that we know. All those years spent with Bill in the south changed it, and then you throw a NY accent on top of it.
I think you both will be pleasantly surprised by how liberal/progressive Hillary will be in the White House.
Doubt it
“For too long, our leaders have viewed politics as, the art of the possible; and our challenge NOW, is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.”
Ironically, I remember this sentiment framed in the New York debate, particularly with minimum wage, I believe, where Hillary was calling her own strength that she was more grounded on the possible, ($12) and her opponent was futilely trying to make the impossible ($15), possible…..
In a small way I think this juxtaposition says a lot about humankind. I enjoyed this. Thanks for posting this btw.
