Clinton Speaks at Grassroots Event in St. Louis

On Friday evening, Hillary Clinton followed up her rally in Tulsa with a similar grassroots rally at the Union Hall for Sheet Metal Workers Local 36 in St. Louis, Missouri. After being introduced by Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, Clinton fired up the crowd of 500 with a speech focused on the economy and how she plans to make it work for everyone, not just those at the top. She said, “Our economy does best when we have a Democrat in the White House. It’s just a fact. Their answer to any economic question is, ‘We’re going to cut taxes on the wealthy.’” A video from the event is below (Note: Clinton begins speaking at 2:32:20).

She was also scheduled to attend a private fundraiser while in St. Louis. The event was held at the home of Kim and Bruce Olson. As with all private events, the fundraiser was closed to the press.

Marketo’s Marketing Nation Summit

Tuesday, April 8, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke today at Marketo’s Marketing Nation Summit in San Francisco, California. She gave brief remarks, then began a Q&A period. During this session, she was asked whether she would run for president in 2016. As usual, she said that she was “thinking about it.” However, she went a little further to suggest a reason that she is hesitant: increasing partisanship. Clinton said, “I would be the first to say we’re having a political period of, frankly, dysfunction. I saw it from afar as secretary and it was disheartening and even embarrassing to see people arguing about letting us default on our debt.”

The video above was taken by someone in the audience and is incomplete. A full video will be posted when/if one is available.
