Bill Clinton: “I'd just like to say, I think I speak for everyone in this room. I guess some bad things happen to everybody in life…”

“I'd just like to say, I think I speak for everyone in this room. I guess some bad things happen to everybody in life, and a lot of us were probably feeling nonetheless that we can't imagine how we would have dealt with what you have obviously dealt with so magnificently. And if Social Security helped, then I think we can all be grateful that it did. But we thank you very much.
