访谈录 Interview 2007-03-25&27, 比尔克林顿为希拉里的演讲(在线收听

I feel more strongly than I did when I told her 35 years ago, that of all the people in our generation, she is still the best. She's got the best combination of mind and heart, she got the best ability to make a decision and feel the human impact (on) other. The best ability to get this country moving again and get it back in the solution business, in the performance business, in the caring business.

That is what I say, a couple of things about the White House years. Everybody knows we tried to get everybody health insurance and didn't succeed. We don’t look pretty good now, you know, the, the urban legend about our plan has pretty much been destroyed and actually got rid of 3000 more pages of federal law than I added. And it looks remarkably like what these states are doing now what we proposed, but when we didn’t do that, she didn’t give up, she kept working, we extended health insurance coverage to 5 million kids, the biggest generation, we did more for women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer and people with diabetes. And we had 90% of our kids immunized against serious health illness. It was for the first time when we had the number of uninsured people going down for the first time in a dozen years and they are going back up now. She doesn’t give up, she just keeps working. And in my first term Hilary was really the face of America in Africa and India, places like that because she went to 82 countries when I was President, 82, and, in my, in my first term when I was preoccupied with getting the economy turned around with Bosnia and the Middle East and Haiti. She was out there, in places meeting with women and children, talking about education, and economic empowerment for people in poor countries, and, and the, in human rights. In 1995 when Hilary represented our country at the Beijing International Women’s Conference, she said," Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights. "I still, you need to know, you know now we have changed places, she is in and I am in public service but not public office. So when I travel around the world now we are doing my AIDS work, and my development work, it is amazing, I have been in some of religions, Africa, Asia, and the women would come up to me, way off the beaten paths and say, you cannot imagine the impact your wife had on us when she said women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights. We never forgot it. I say that because it is very important to restore the standing of America in the world and one of the ways we are gonna do it, one of the ways we are gonna do it is not just by ending the conflict in Iraq, but, by building a world with more partners and fewer adversaries, and that is really important that people respect the American President and believe the President is pulling for them wherever they live.
