WATCH: Hillary Clinton Delivers Commencement Speech At Wellesley College

[George II]

Source: NPR

On Friday, Hillary Clinton addressed the graduating class of her alma mater, Wellesley College.

"You may have heard that things didn't go exactly as I planned. But you know what, I'm doing O.K.," she said. She talked about spending time with her family after the election, walking in the woods, organizing her closets and added, "I won't lie, chardonnay helped a little too."

But what helped her most, she said, was "remembering who I am, where I come from and what I believe."

It's a familiar stage for her — Clinton delivered the commencement address as a College Government president in 1969 and again 25 years ago.

Watching it now, she's spearing trump left and right, over and over again, without mentioning his name. A beauty to behold!

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to post this before the speech was half over, but I'm sure there will be video on news outlets and youtube. Well worth the watch.

1. Sadly, she should be with Merkel and May at the NATO summit

instead of the ass clown we sent there instead.

2. I caught the first ten minutes.

I have always enjoyed her speeches and her complete grasp of the issues, but this one -at least the beginning- was even better than usual.

She's killing it! Very happy I voted for her.

7. What a woman!

8. shes a brilliant leader of the Womens Movement and f*ck....

...the men on Craig Melvins panel who are trying to 'mansplain' Hillarys role in the Dem Party and the importance of her speech. F*ck them all.


Long live Madam President!!

[George II]

11. I generally think Michael Steele is reasonably fair minded, but what he said today....

...made me more angry about anything he's ever said in ten years. Screw them all, they're just jealous.

12. Haven't watched Hillary's yet -- but John Kerry's at Harvard's Kennedy Center is amazing

As there are so many good speeches out there - if you are limited for time, watch the end of this one -- where Kerry gives a charge to the students taken from the Vietnam Protest era response - "My country, wrong or right" which added "when right keep it right and wrong make it right". In this case, expanded to be the world, not country.

A strong activist message from someone who started his public life as an activist.
