A reader attended Bill Clinton’s speech in Indianpolis last night. His report:

Bill Clinton came to Indy last night to give a speech at Butler University. Seeing that tickets were free, I decided to go.
Of note:
1. He said his right to support the troops in the Middle East had been taken away from him. He said that since he and a few other millionaires got a tax break, the money they would’ve paid in taxes was now staying in their wallet instead of going to help the troops. I found it appaling to make such an outlandish claim, but 99.9% of the audience ate it up.
2. He said that many people ask him how we should handle jobs being outsourced. He said the US should create new jobs and this could be done by switching the country from using fossil fuels to wind power. He claimed that more than enough jobs would be created for those whose jobs went overseas.
3. He also said more should be done for national security. While he was president, Clinton said that he would be in national security meetings and hear that only 5% of cargo was being inspected for bombs and such. He said that the US could inspect more cargo if we didn’t give a few millionaires like him tax cuts and that they would’ve gladly paid an extra $5,000 a year to ensure their fellow countrymen were kept safe. I sat their wondering why he didn’t do something about it in the 8 years he was there.
4. He told us during a Q&A segment that one of the hardest parts of his 8 years was not being able to find bin Laden although his administration looked desperately for him.
5. Also, he said when he traveled overseas, he seemed to get along with the locals and they weren’t protesting in the streets. The audience went wild.
Rush always jokes about how Bill likes to tell people what income bracket he’s in and last night we weren’t disapointed as he made more than a few references. Also, he said one of the hardest moments while he was in the White House occurred with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Ron Brown were killed. When he mentioned Brown’s name, the audience was treated to Bill biting his lower lip as though he was trying to hold back tears.
Just thought I’d let the NR gang know about a nice evening of revisionist history I experienced!
