The former President Clinton didn’t go into this election cycle a lot, which stunned me.  I thought he would talk about Obama and all his faults and point out how Hillary would be so much better, etc, but he didn’t.  Instead, he mainly focused on what Hillary was going to do; it was a very positive message.  There was no real cutting down of the other candidate. 

Former President Clinton did however talk a lot about economics, schools, and gas prices.  When he got to gas prices, the first thing he said was how high the cost was.  After talking about how the gas prices were devastating and how it hurt the US; he moved on to talk about a car.  He said this car, which was made in the US, gets 105 MPG(miles per gallon).  He talked about how good it was and how it would help the people afford gas and allow them to go more places, etc.  He even went so far as to explain how it worked, but when he mentioned the fact that it was $100,000, he didn’t say how the middle class people would be able to afford it.  However, he did say Hillary’s only plan to lower the price of the car was to put more money into the research of the car so that the car’s price would drop faster.  There is still the problem of when the middle class people will be able to afford the car, and when they get it, what are the gas prices going to be like then? 

I found that his speech was very intriguing and very persuading, even though I disagreed with most of it.  He spoke confidently, and almost convinced you to follow him down any path he chose to take.
