Clinton goes to Ireland.. a contrast study
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Thu Jun-24-04 05:51 AM by SoCalDem

Saturday, September 5 (Limerick, Republic of Ireland)
The defining moment, for me, comes on Saturday morning in Limerick. Twenty thousand people have been waiting in a pouring rain for hours to see the President. They are crying with gratitude and awe, in recognition of his work towards helping to secure a peace agreement in Northern Ireland. The President rises to the occasion as the love of the crowd sweeps over him. He is absolutely Kennedyesque as he delivers a moving speech celebrating the spirit of the Irish people. As we drive the 50 miles to Ballybunion, following the speech, people are lining the road, three and four deep, with signs and flags in support of the President.
