“I believe with all my heart that a society that says ‘you’re on your own’ is never going to be as successful in a highly competitive, independent world as a society that says ‘we don’t have a person to waste; were all in this together,’” President Bill Clinton said on Tuesday evening at Florida International University.

President Clinton remarked on the importance of unity within our country as we remember the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center 11 years ago. Clinton spoke about his own experience that day and empathized with the American people and their individual struggles resulting from that day. 

Then he delivered a speech that aptly explained Obama’s policies in a detailed yet entertaining manner.

Dubbed “The Secretary of Explaining Stuff” by President Obama, Clinton lived up to the name when he spoke to the crowd about controversial issues like health care, education and the economy.

 “Clinton always has a good message and he is able to explain that message to individuals in a language which everyone understands,” former mayor of Hialeah, Raul Martinez, D. said. “He’s not talking at people; he’s having a conversation with them.”

One of President Clinton’s talking points was the importance of investing in clean and renewable energy for a better economy and a better planet. He specifically spoke of Florida being the nation’s leader in solar energy production.

He also defended the President, repeatedly saying no one - not even himself - could have fixed the messy economy that Obama walked in on. However, Obama has created “the building blocks and foundation” for restoring the economy with the stimulus plan, and other such initiatives for job growth.

Clinton thoroughly explained Obama’s more effective plan for government-issued student loans as opposed to Romney’s plan.

“As a graduate student and employee of FIU the mention of loan plans for student loan payment excited me, as it’s an issue that I care about,” Cynthia Blanco, coordinator for FIU’s MBA program said.

Clinton greatly emphasized the importance of citizens getting registered to vote from beginning to end. He made a point of using your vote to voice your opinion and doing what you believe is right for this country and to ensure a better American future.

“I think the President's budget plan is better. I know our education is better," Clinton said. “ And I know all of this won’t amount to a pile of beans if you don’t register and vote!”
