News: Hillary resurfaces: "I never wanted to leave the house again

Quote:

Hillary Clinton has made her first public appearance since conceding the election to Donald Trump a week ago, challenging supporters to continue the fight for a country that is “hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted”. “I will admit coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,” Clinton told the audience in Washington DC. “There have been a few times this past week when all I’ve wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house ever again.”

Clinton was scheduled to appear at the event – a gala for the Children’s Defense Fund, where she began her career more than four decades ago – before her stunning defeat. The organization’s founder, Marian Wright Edelman, a longtime friend, introduced Clinton to the predominantly female audience as “the people’s president”, noting that she was leading the popular vote by more than 1 million votes.

“I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was,” Clinton said. “The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But, please, listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country and fight for our values and never, ever give up.

Same girl. Same. Well actually I wanted (and still do) want to leave the country, but that's for another day.

As a former Bernie supporter, I hate the fact that there are other Bernie supporters that keep saying that he would've won or that he's working hard for change now while she's not. The fact of the matter is she's been campaigning for this for an incredibly long time, and she lost to a majorly unqualified douchenozzle, amidst many other things. So of course it hurts. The lack of empathy on all sides has been ASTOUNDING this election.

OT: Glad that she's getting out there and starting to work for change.

Her speech made me cry a little.

I see that I'm not the only one who calls her "the people's president." I hope that catches on.
