Clinton Urges Cornell Grads to Cooperate

[shawn703]

Former President Bill Clinton challenged graduating Cornell University students Saturday to pursue "the eternal mission of American democracy" and find solutions to problems through cooperation not conflict.
"If you live in a world where you cannot kill, occupy or imprison all your actual or potential adversaries ... you have to try to build a world with more friends and fewer terrorists," Clinton told more than 21,000 people.

"That is the purpose of politics, to bring people together when they cannot control each other and they must work together," Clinton said in a 30-minute speech interrupted by frequent applause.

7. Did they throw oranges at him a la Ann Coulter?

I saw a post where Antrax spoke to the Cornell College Republicans and she was booed off the stage and protesters threw orange peels and whole oranges at her. She was giving some stupid speech about the "real meaning" of the Confederate Flag. I'm sure her definition had nothing to do with slavery.
