SACRAMENTO IN AWE FOLLOWING ‘LARGER THAN LIFE,’ PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

The Sacramento Speakers Series was honored to bring 42^nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton to the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento. President Clinton marks the second engagement of our 2012-2013 season and a better venue could not have been chosen to set this unique event apart from this year’s already exceptional lineup.

Immediately upon the opening of the doors, the venue was buzzing with excitement as patrons filled the hallways on the way to their seats eagerly anticipating the moment President Bill Clinton would take the stage. President Clinton’s remarks merely touched the surface of what he would later expand upon throughout an extensive question and answer session, moderated by Sacramento Speakers Series Managing Principal, Mitchell S. Ostwald. The questions asked provoked the spontaneous thoughts of the President and enabled patrons to view him in a truly candid setting.

When addressing a question relating to students interested in pursuing a career in politics, the President recommended, first and foremost, that they expose themselves to different types of people and to learn to listen and speak to them. President Clinton demonstrates this as he captured the audience with his humble approach and is ability to relate with people from all walks of life.
