Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convention - Sept. 6, 2012
September 6, 2012
I'm so proud to represent the people of South Florida. I was so honored when President Obama asked me to serve as chair of the Democratic Party. But there's one job I'm even more proud of, and that's being a mom to my three kids, Rebecca, Jake and Shelby. In 2008, I could see what eight years of top-down economics were doing to their future. And, like so many of you, I worked day in and day out. Together, we elected President Obama. When I addressed our convention that year, […]

September 1, 2004
Before I start, I have to give a very special hello to my home state delegation of Kentucky. It is so important, it is so exciting to be in New York. This is where I grew up and where my family still lives. And so I want to say a special hello also to my parents, my sisters, and my brothers-in-law who are here, also, with me. You know, when I was just a little girl, my father had a dream of a better life for our family that took […]

August 26, 1996
Thank you all, and good evening. I am overwhelmed by your warm welcome. And I want to thank my friend, Tipper Gore. You know, after this reception, I think you all are ready for the rest of this convention, which has already been so positive and good. I know and you know that Chicago is my kind of town. And Chicago is my kind of village. I have so many friends here, people who have been important to me all my life. And it seems like every single one of […]

Remarks at the 2004 Democratic National Convention - July 26, 2004
July 26, 2004
Following are the remarks made by Senator Hillary Clinton to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, as recorded by the Federal News Service, Inc. Twelve years ago, when our country needed new leadership, Americans selected a Democrat who gave us eight years of peace, prosperity and promise. Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing the last great Democratic president -- but first I want to say a few words about the next great Democratic president, John Kerry. You know, I, like all of you, just heard the moving testimonials about the […]

Address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention - Sept. 6, 2012
September 6, 2012
Good evening, I'm Jennifer Granholm, from the great state of Michigan, where the trees are just the right height! Let me tell you a story about the dark days in my home state. Toward the end of my time as governor, Ford closed one of its biggest factories, a factory in Wixom, Michigan. The plant had employed over the years thousands of middle-class men and women in neighborhoods near—yet worlds away from—the place Mitt Romney was raised. When Ford's decision to close the factory hit, I went down to the […]

Remarks at the 2012 Republican National Committee - August 29, 2012
August 29, 2012
Good evening. Good evening, distinguished delegates. Good evening, fellow Republicans. Good evening, my fellow Americans. We gather here at a time of significance and challenge. This young century has been a difficult one. I can remember as if it were yesterday when my young assistants came into my office at the White House to say that a plane had hit the World Trade Center, and then, a second plane, and then a third plane, the Pentagon. And later, we would learn that a plane had crashed into a field in […]

On behalf of the great state of New Mexico, let me express my gratitude for being invited to speak tonight. Growing up, I never imagined a little girl from a border town could […]

Remarks at the 2012 Republican National Convention - Aug. 28, 2012
August 28, 2012
Thank you. I'm not your usual politician. I'm a wife. I'm a mother of three grown sons. I’m a rancher, a small business owner and a citizen-legislator. Becoming a U.S. senator was never an ambition of mine. But over the last four years, I've become very dismayed with the record spending, the record debt, and the record unemployment. The Obama administration has been out of touch with the American people, and they've driven our country towards the edge of a fiscal cliff. We're on track to become the first generation […]

Remarks at the 2012 Republican National Convention - Aug. 28, 2012
August 28, 2012
I love South Carolina. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every single day how blessed we were to live in this country. They loved the fact that only in America, we could be as successful as we wanted to be and nothing would stand in our way. My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a multimillion dollar company. But there wasn't a single day that it was easy […]
