“Thank you. Thank you very much. Well, first of all, I'm sorry that there's some people out there under umbrellas. I'm tempted to say, thank you very much; we're right; they're wrong; thanks for the money; go out and work hard; goodbye. [Laughter] But what the heck. [Laughter] I'd like to thank all the Members of Congress and the members of the administration who are here, and all the people from the DNC. I'd like to thank the people who served our food, and I'd like to thank these young people who provided such wonderful music for us. Thank you very much. But I would especially like to thank Mel and Bren for making the extraordinary effort, first of all, to have this event, and secondly, to change it around. And it's been perfectly beautiful. Thank you so much. I'm grateful to you. I appreciate very much the support that so many of you have given us over the years, to me and to Hillary, to the Vice President and Tipper, to all of our administration, the chance you've given us to make this a better country. I will try to be as brief as I can here, but I want you to think about this question: What will you say tomorrow if someone asks you why you were here today? And will it be a good reason for them to join you politically? And is it something that will sustain your efforts as you talk to your friends and neighbors over the next year and a half? That's really important to me.…”
