Bill Clinton: “Thank you very much. Now, Jackie was a little nervous before she came up, but I think she did a great job, don't you?…”

“Thank you very much. Now, Jackie was a little nervous before she came up, but I think she did a great job, don't you? [Applause] She mentioned your other two classmates, Marissa and Josh, who were over at the other meeting in the warehouse, and they were also very, very good, and you could have been very proud of them. I could have done without Jackie reminding me that Kentucky beat Arkansas not once, not twice, but 3 times this year. But I cheered for you anyway in the tournament. [Laughter] And let me say, I'm delighted to be here with my good friends Governor Patton and Senator Ford, and I thank them for their leadership for you and for all of Kentucky. I thank Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman for coming down here with me today, and for being here last week and for his tireless work for the farmers of America. I thank Congressman Scotty Baesler for flying down here with me today and also bending my ear about the needs of farmers and the communities; and Lieutenant Governor Henry; your auditor, Edward Hatchett; Senator Saunders; Senator Blevins; Speaker Jody Richards and Mayor Welty and Judge McCurry. I thank all of them for being here with me. I thank your superintendent and your principal for welcoming me to your school.…”
