Hillary Clinton's DNC Speech

I watched Hillary Clinton’s speech on you tube from Tuesday night. I wish I would have seen it live on tv because the sound on you tube wasn’t that great – at all, but that’s besides the point. She was all support for Obama and supported what his goals were. Clinton was in support of ending the war in Iraq and pulling out the troops, repairing alliances around the world, health care for everyone/improvements, clean energy economy, better education and making paying for education (college) more affordable, and “To make America once again a nation of immigrants…”. I disagree with pulling troops out of Iraq. We are already in there – you can’t just suddenly pull the troops out, they will have to remain their for quite a long time to keep things stable. With the other points I do agree, especially with the immigration point – allowing them in. If we help them out by letting them work here and get paid to send money back home, they are in return helping us greatly because they are the ones who will put in the long, hard hours of labor that most people will not.
