SACRAMENTO
IN AWE FOLLOWING ‘LARGER THAN LIFE,’ PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON
The
Sacramento Speakers Series was
honored to bring 42nd 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.
