Wonderful Eulogy. Very moving. Thank you President Clinton. There would be no peace process without President Clinton and Martin McGuiness and the many others from both traditions.
In these comments, I now see why Northern Ireland will never be at peace. If Ian Paisley could shake the hand of Martin McGuinness, and Martin McGuinness could shake the hand of Ian Paisley then, in the words on Nelson Mandela, you've got no excuse.
We have had peace from 98 & still going in Northren Ireland thanks to the late Martin McGuinness & late Ian Paisley they showed us the way & once bitter enemies now best friends untill the day they died & both sides honour them & give them respect for that no matter their past
What people in the North and in the South can find unity in, is the effort against tyrannical government. Both in the UK and in Dublin! Only rising against those sellout “representatives” will only unite the Republic.
I can't believe that I was there that day in the Long Tower Church, standing in the balcony. I will always remember that day. I remember getting to meet President Clinton afterwards as he was leaving the church. A truly historic day for Derry and the Long Tower Church, a church where I was baptised and confirmed in.
I made my first communion and confirmation there. Memories. I went to primary school across the yard from this chapel. I also knew Martin - he lived around the corner from me.
These words are so true, we all have to move forward as children of this earth, one of my family members was killed in the troubles on his way home from work and my family felt the impact for years to come but I was never raised to be bitter, now both me and my elder brother have protestant partners and i live with her and her daughter in a protestant area, I have been welcomed here and have never once felt in danger or fear, this is the kind of thing that needs to happen for all of us to move on, if my family can do it anybody can, peace to all my Protestant and Catholic brothers and sisters and always remember regardless of what has happened in the past we are one.
The big problem is that thee are too many Catholics and too many Protestants But not enough Christians. If Catholics and protestants thought of themselves as Christians first and not about their original sects, thee'd be fewer problems
@@mattowensrees The big problem is that there is no sanity clause. Belief in magic is both infantile and holding the human race back. Time to grow up and put away childish things.
i would agree hillary is a bit nutty, and granted clinton has a bit of a dodgy rep with d women, but it doesnt take away from the fact that he is a great supporter of this country and he did play a big part in the peace process as did mc guinness, and in fairness he hung up d rifle for d pen so i mean what do you want form the man?
Of course he's a supporter it's where IRA got most of there money to buy the weapons and bombs to keep killing innocent people the IRA scum will rot in hell.
@@grahamb5930 people are multifaceted regards of your labels....yes he may be a liar yes he may be an adulterer and yes he may even be a predator in his past.....that doesn't change a thing or forgive any of his failings. Martin McGuinness may have been a murderer and a hero....this all getting too complicated for you? Theres no black n white
@@action963 Actually there is a black and white.The law works on black and white as does pregnancy where there is no shade of grey. You are either pregnant or you are not. He was a murderer, that much is perfectly clear, he sent people out to kill is own kind - good Irish people including a mum who he thought was a tout, a mum who was tortured so severely that she died and her body was so badly beaten that the IRA would not return her body. Tell me that wasn't "black". I dare you to try. I'm sure you'll argue that the "white" bit was that he loved his children and I will happily argue that the dirty lying murdering bastard didn't love anyone else's children because he kept sending people out to shoot them and bomb them. Try and argue against that. No, there is no complication for me, the man decided to take up arms against his own people, the very people that he said he was standing up for. I hope the bastard died in agony, screaming for release and I hope it lasted for days. After all that's what he put an innocent mother through. Want to say something about Dr Harold Shipman being a multi faceted person as plant of people thought he was a very nice man and a well loved doctor? The problem is that, live McGuinness, it was all an act to cover up the real person. Is that too complicated for you.......
Compromise and the willingness to let go of deep hurt and pain in favour of peace and reconciliation. One word that comes to my mind when I think of Martin is - courage. To give peace a chance when your soul is crying out for revenge.
Calm down there mate, im just expressing my happiness that a bog man has been recieved on a world stage, i admit hes not perfect but who is? even ghandi had flaws once you research enough in the other direction.....you fail to see that not many men have risen from our town because of oppresion and the down trodding psychology that goes with that, sure Martin struggled and likely has hurt along the way? but hasnt all his opposing forces also done the same???? anways im just happy a man i seen regularly has been remembered, im not hyper political but im human, and ill dare say the hurt that Martin may have caused has indeed been a component in making it possible for people from my wee town to maybe make it on a world stage as well.....only maybe now, without violence.........the worlds more complicated than you think mate. and harder to face up to
aye happy days lads, keep the butthurt vengeance shite going then ya mongoloids, Why dont you lads run and start a political party then if yese feel yese have more virtue and balls than Martin... wise up ya keyboard fuckaboos
TheIrishRock, you don't understand the vision that McGuinness and Adams have had for the last 20 years. And Im only talking since the Good Friday Agreement.. Sinn Fein's plan for a United Ireland is starting to pay off... The Republican Movement realised that Military action was not going to bring about a UI, so they agreed to play the long game of democracy that McGuinness and Adams suggested to them.. It was 100% the correct decision because the killing stopped on both sides and twenty years since the GFA Unionists have lost the majority vote for the first time ever.. Ordinary decent people can now see that Sinn Fein are genuine in their pursuit for an Ireland suitable for everyone.. Not just Republicans but EVERYONE..
And you dare to call me a terrorist while you look down your gun. when I think of all the deeds that you have done. you have plundered many nations. divided many lands. and you brought this reign of terror to my land. God bless You Martin. TAL32
True Irish hero. RIP. Thanks for bringing respect for the Irish back to the North. Can never thank you enough. You will not be forgotten. Thank You Martin McGuinness!!!
Martin McGuinness went from a Provo hard man to being friends with Ian Paisley and having a former American President deliver his eulogy…what a legend!
I love watching this clip. It restores my faith in humanity. Bill Clinton is a great speaker, a great man and was a great president. God bless him and Martin McGuinness.
"wouldn't of been there"? I think that just about sums up your case in this instance. If Clinton took money for being there I'd be very cross indeed, but I cannot believe that he did.
niranjan gokhale This excuse for a human being disgraced himself, his immediate family and lied to his country and the world in general all because he could not keep his trousers on. He is PAID very well for all his speeches which other people write for him, he is a parasite on any society he is involved with! Why did he not visit N.Ireland when people were being killed? because there was no money involved!
A classic eulogy. I have watched it three times and my appreciation of Bill Clinton as a politician increases each time. He ticked every box and left one feeling he really meant it.
gerard henry they are absolutely disgusting. My grandparents are from south Armagh and they always wanted peace but that doesn’t take away from the fact that as Americans now they still detest the Clintons. Any sane human that knows anything about them knows they are sick power hungry war mongers hell bent on control. Unfortunately your average left leaning Irish person like my extended family still in south Armagh they don’t seem to know these things or care.
mick collins yea they are serious but completely true. You can find Epstein’s flight logs with bill on over 20 of them. Bill Clinton is a creep and a perv playing the Irish here like a fiddle.
As an American of Irish ancestry, I was very proud that President Clinton traveled to Ireland to give the eulogy for Martin McGuiness at his funeral Mass in Derry. It says a lot about the Special Relationship enjoyed between the United States and Ireland.
McGuinness only became a peacemaker after 30 yrs of murder and mayhem committed by the IRA ,resulting in over 3500 deaths during the ‘Troubles ‘. John Hume and the SDLP were the real peacemakers from day one of the conflict. It’s pathetic to see McGuinness getting the accolades for the peace process when he only committed to peaceful means when the IRA failed miserably in its goal ,to drive the Brits out of Ireland through terrorism. As McGuinness once said , ‘ It’s the cutting edge of the IRA that will bring freedom to Ireland and not Elections ‘ . How wrong he was . John Hume was a giant in Irish politics , he was the main driver of the process from Sunningdale to the GFA . Neither McGuinness nor Adams come close to Hume in stature .
The biggest lie sold to man is that resistance is futile,some of the greatest revolutions in world history began by a few brave men,who understood that their actions were for generations of the future,and the fight for a peoples freedom far outweighs any financial gain or phony promises,rip-Martin McGuinness.

Dixie Normous what drugs are you im on you Scottish gobshyte hr says it in name who Ireland belong to the Irish you gobshyte get back to your face you eijit
Bill Clinton will be well written in the Irish History books for all he did along with Senator George Mitchel. Lessor mortals would have devoted more time and effort on domestic issues. Mr Clinton saw the bigger picture and the bigger prize.
And when we die we have to face what we have done..a scary thing. Had we had this thought foremost on our minds throughout our lives when the fire burned deep and bright, we would have had many less regrets when the time came to stand before the greatest love that created us..our Father who art in heaven halo be they name
I don't need anyone our the media to tell me who Martin McGuinness was. People may always condemn him for his past, but he never shed away from this. The man I remember is a modern day Irish revolutionary hero. We would not have the peace today if not without him. A soldier, friend, hero and a loving family man. RIP Martin
Nuala Ni Dhomnaill It seems by your name that you are perhaps of black African decent who have recently come to live in the west. So....you HAVE come a long way, education AND you can read and write, 100 years ago most of you were still living in trees so stick to things you are familiar with ie. The rape and murder of innocent missionaries who had their entrails eaten while still alive by your not too distant ancestors or hacking off the limbs of anyone who opposed their will. I hope this does not insult your intelligence although I doubt if you have any, again focus on the stuff you know and leave the outside world to others. I do apologise if I have got this all wrong, I don't want to get 'bitten' ( your cannibal ancestry)
@Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill No insult noted and believe me my intelligence is completely intact as I did remark in case I 'Got it all wrong' with an apology. However I really don't give a flying fart if it is a common Irish name or otherwise. It sounds like an obscure social disease that needs urgent medical attention but If you do happen to be Irish or have an association in any way certainly nothing to crow about. The damming reports over the last few years say it all,the rape, torture and even murder of innocent children all over Ireland at the hands of the human excrement who masquerade as RC. clergy, nuns etc. all under the noses of the population and without protest or complaint. Then a visit and pathetic apology by the Godless scab in his white robes who resides in Rome, the result, the people largely appeased. What a shameful reflection on the country and political leaders. It could be much worse, you could be American with Irish roots! This is just an 'elaborate novella' between us but I will do some 'reflecting' because this is all just conjecture. You are probably a very nice person!
@Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill The Pope and all his vile minions visited Ireland with his pathetic apology and instead of there being a public outcry and large scale demonstrations of disgust, the population were APPEASED and grateful, my God who will they glorify next, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and the worlds mass murderers! I lived and worked in the republic for 14 years and I do have knowledge on how the country operates and the religious and political situation. Unfortunately the stranglehold of the RC. church is still very prevalent and the crimes of the church excrement should never have been permitted regardless of any wholesale 'influence'! To quote a middle aged woman I worked with when I questioned her about the above, "our lovely priests would never do any of that its not true"!
@@rikkwakeupwesternworld9874 God you speak like a 19th century colonists, go back to the 1800's with your backwards beliefs and ideas. Also to act as if the abuse of power by the Catholic Church and the rape of innocent kids and various other injustices carried out by them isn't acknowledged and condemned by the Irish public is simply ignorant of reality, but as I stated previous your mentality seems to be stuck in the past so there's no hope in getting you to acknowledge present realities.
@@risbee2699 President Clinton had his faults. Absolutely. But his skill and political talent was astonishing. The US today is sadly so bitterly divided, that seeing Clinton makes me nostalgic. His oratory was terrific. I understand if you politically oppose him. But tell me what politicians are similar to President Clinton. Either right or left? Biden and Trump are shortchanging the American public. I long for the return of the resurgence of American politics. 11:43
A flawless masterclass from one of the worlds most politically astute operators. It will be interesting to see how kind or otherwise history will be to his own personal legacy.
To our best friend mr president bill Clinton.thank u for all ur amazing work and for all ur sleepless nights u afforded us to aid our peace process.the Irish people love u very very dearly.may god bless u and family every day of your lives.u will b forever in our hearts.
He continually implies that Martin in his early years was motivated by sectarian prejudice (“he expanded the definition of us”, etc) and this is untrue and defamatory. US media always represented this as a religious conflict because it was easier to sell that story than what was actually happening. But of course people in the Bogside in the 1960s, like people in Black neighborhoods in the United States, were angry with the discriminatory practices of the law, the government, and the police - they were not engaged in some abstract religious quarrel with Protestants.
With out Martin we'd never be on the road we are politically now today may you now rest in peace Martin your day has come true a United eire32 is almost certainly here may your head stay rested on a silk pillow may you rest in peace forever more. And no no that the hands of the political party of Sinn Fein are In Great hands. Thanks to your blood sweat and tears. May you rest in peace Martin McGuinness gone but never Forgotten.
Thank you president Clinton I go up in America During your presidency. I remember the great things you have done for America. I am also Irish And I know the great things you have done for Ireland Thank you Mr. President You are one of a kind And will always be loved and respected in Ireland And by the Irish.
Martin and Ian Paisley from 2 sides of neverness to 2 sides of togetherness for their and eeryones children and grand children was incredible. They probably could not of done it for anyone but by discussing and considering the future for the younger generation and generations to come. Well done...I am sure Christ was in the middle...amen
rest in peace Martin you were loved and the turn out ti say good bye to you shows how much you have the respect of our people and indeed the world your job is done sleep well
Dan Man Well, I'm not Irish, but I read in the internet that he founded the IRA, but then dismantled it... So... He wasn't a "saint", but at least he put an end to the violence that he started. This should be a point to be considered
the people of Ireland know what he was and what he done but at the time it happened because you had British soldiers killing Catholics who done nothing but practice there religion spoke there native language and played Gaelic sports without him it would be no different today so consider that also ask why he did what he did
I'm American and I agree with you. You actually took the words out of my mouth. Clinton also talks about how Mr. McGuinness decided to give peace a chance....without really bothering to mention that peace was never on the table until all the violence took place. Peaceful protests were met with violence, after centuries of violence and hate. Let Bill Clinton or his wife be faced with the same circumstances as the North and they would be killing innocents quicker than we can say IRA. Thank You Martin McGuinness! You gave us our pride back!!
MarkIRE1 I would love that but sadly economically Ireland cant afford to take on the north as it isnt self sufficient and we have enough money problems without bringing in another 6 counties. So even if we got given them back the irish government wouldnt take them
Aside from the context of this speech, a funeral for someone who was involved in a very consequential event in history (the Good Friday agreement), this is a masterclass in Bill Clinton Charisma. Every word is measured for effect. It's the kind of speech that would move and turn the enemies of the man they are burying. I am sure there were people who attended this funeral who agreed to be present as a political gesture, what Clinton did here was, ensure that everyone who was present felt that they were there despite their political position. He appealed to common humanity. I'm not going to opine on whether any of this was right or wrong, I am not going to take sides. But as an independent observer I can see exactly what Clinton did here. This video should be played in every college and business school

When such videos are posted, comments should be disabled. Too many people spew hate while hiding behind their keyboards.
why? because the truth is an unwanted guest
The comments generally here are on the positive side.
Thanks for Everything Martin.✊
Beautiful peace for all of us North and South
Bill Clinton will be well written in the Irish History books for all he did along with Senator George Mitchel.
Lessor mortals would have devoted more time and effort on domestic issues.
Mr Clinton saw the bigger picture and the bigger prize.
When Bill said, “....and he’s been married to Gerry almost as long (as his wife)” I about lost my sh*t laughing! So true. 😂
At least he didn't say liked the cigars as much as monica!
It truly was an amazing eulogy....
Amazing....always had a lot of time for bill!
martin will go down as one of the best r i p ☝️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
God bless President Clinton for what he did do help bring peace to Northern Ireland for the first time in 800 years. Nobel Peace Prize?
Clinton did nothing to help lol
Would you care to back up your statement with some facts? I bet you can’t.
@@joeyfitz9 what facts can i show? he did nothing to help therefore there’s nothing to show, do you have any facts to show that he did help?
🤣🤣🤣
Wolf in sheep's clothing
Fair play to bill, he is a man of honor
Intelligent man the old Bill.
May Martin rest in peace for all he did for the peace process and may Ireland never return to a time of struggle
And when we die we have to face what we have done..a scary thing. Had we had this thought foremost on our minds throughout our lives when the fire burned deep and bright, we would have had many less regrets when the time came to stand before the greatest love that created us..our Father who art in heaven halo be they name
I prefer Doom to Halo
I don't need anyone our the media to tell me who Martin McGuinness was. People may always condemn him for his past, but he never shed away from this. The man I remember is a modern day Irish revolutionary hero. We would not have the peace today if not without him. A soldier, friend, hero and a loving family man. RIP Martin
A murdering IRA savage, if there is such a place as hell I hope he roasts in it!
Nuala Ni Dhomnaill It seems by your name that you are perhaps of black African decent who have recently come to live in the west. So....you HAVE come a long way, education AND you can read and write, 100 years ago most of you were still living in trees so stick to things you are familiar with ie. The rape and murder of innocent missionaries who had their entrails eaten while still alive by your not too distant ancestors or hacking off the limbs of anyone who opposed their will. I hope this does not insult your intelligence although I doubt if you have any, again focus on the stuff you know and leave the outside world to others. I do apologise if I have got this all wrong, I don't want to get 'bitten' ( your cannibal ancestry)
@Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill No insult noted and believe me my intelligence is completely intact as I did remark in case I 'Got it all wrong' with an apology. However I really don't give a flying fart if it is a common Irish name or otherwise. It sounds like an obscure social disease that needs urgent medical attention but If you do happen to be Irish or have an association in any way certainly nothing to crow about. The damming reports over the last few years say it all,the rape, torture and even murder of innocent children all over Ireland at the hands of the human excrement who masquerade as RC. clergy, nuns etc. all under the noses of the population and without protest or complaint. Then a visit and pathetic apology by the Godless scab in his white robes who resides in Rome, the result, the people largely appeased. What a shameful reflection on the country and political leaders. It could be much worse, you could be American with Irish roots! This is just an 'elaborate novella' between us but I will do some 'reflecting' because this is all just conjecture. You are probably a very nice person!
@Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill The Pope and all his vile minions visited Ireland with his pathetic apology and instead of there being a public outcry and large scale demonstrations of disgust, the population were APPEASED and grateful, my God who will they glorify next, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and the worlds mass murderers! I lived and worked in the republic for 14 years and I do have knowledge on how the country operates and the religious and political situation. Unfortunately the stranglehold of the RC. church is still very prevalent and the crimes of the church excrement should never have been permitted regardless of any wholesale 'influence'! To quote a middle aged woman I worked with when I questioned her about the above, "our lovely priests would never do any of that its not true"!
@@rikkwakeupwesternworld9874 God you speak like a 19th century colonists, go back to the 1800's with your backwards beliefs and ideas.
Also to act as if the abuse of power by the Catholic Church and the rape of innocent kids and various other injustices carried out by them isn't acknowledged and condemned by the Irish public is simply ignorant of reality, but as I stated previous your mentality seems to be stuck in the past so there's no hope in getting you to acknowledge present realities.
Wonderful eulogy. Bill is the man
He's a pervert
It's a rapist
Bill is one of the few that got it.
What a fantastic President!
That has to be a joke
@@risbee2699 President Clinton had his faults. Absolutely. But his skill and political talent was astonishing. The US today is sadly so bitterly divided, that seeing Clinton makes me nostalgic. His oratory was terrific. I understand if you politically oppose him. But tell me what politicians are similar to President Clinton. Either right or left? Biden and Trump are shortchanging the American public. I long for the return of the resurgence of American politics. 11:43
Two truely inspiring men
WHAT??????
@@BoilingfroggMy thoughts exactly. A mass murderer and a sex pest. How "inspiring" 😒
hard man to peace making-great guy
Rest In Peace Martin we’ll try and make Northern Ireland, Irish Again
Bill, you always have a great wisdom in your words. ❤
Never thought Bill Clinton would make me cry.
Martin Our Hero may he R.I.P.
A flawless masterclass from one of the worlds most politically astute operators. It will be interesting to see how kind or otherwise history will be to his own personal legacy.
This aged well ,he was one of epsteins best mates ,spent more time on epsteins Island than he did in the Whitehouse....that's his legacy
Blessed are the peacemakers and up the ra
I had the pleasure of meeting martin in manchester ..i waited hours just to shake hands with me .
His vaues still stand up
....
For me this up amongst the greatest speeches ever made.
To our best friend mr president bill Clinton.thank u for all ur amazing work and for all ur sleepless nights u afforded us to aid our peace process.the Irish people love u very very dearly.may god bless u and family every day of your lives.u will b forever in our hearts.
Iv bad mouthed clinton over the last few years.I forget how much good things he done when he was in power.He help the peace deal.
I wish Bill was still President of the United States.
Crying... Martin McGuiness is a hero
4 years today. RIP MG X
He continually implies that Martin in his early years was motivated by sectarian prejudice (“he expanded the definition of us”, etc) and this is untrue and defamatory. US media always represented this as a religious conflict because it was easier to sell that story than what was actually happening. But of course people in the Bogside in the 1960s, like people in Black neighborhoods in the United States, were angry with the discriminatory practices of the law, the government, and the police - they were not engaged in some abstract religious quarrel with Protestants.
Paisley and m c Guinness bring them back lord rest them both
With out Martin we'd never be on the road we are politically now today may you now rest in peace Martin your day has come true a United eire32 is almost certainly here may your head stay rested on a silk pillow may you rest in peace forever more. And no no that the hands of the political party of Sinn Fein are In Great hands. Thanks to your blood sweat and tears. May you rest in peace Martin McGuinness gone but never Forgotten.
One of the great American presidents.
Monica Lewinsky thank you for being here.
long live ireland
Love and respect him put how he still moves on in a positive direction IV learned so much from this history and how to live life
Thank you
Great Speech
we all must shake hands with the devil for peace
george.....martin already shook the german queens hand...............
Thank you president Clinton I go up in America During your presidency. I remember the great things you have done for America. I am also Irish And I know the great things you have done for Ireland Thank you Mr. President You are one of a kind And will always be loved and respected in Ireland And by the Irish.
such a nice gentleman
Greatest IRA leader along with Jim Lynagh and Michael Collins. RIP Martin TAL 32
One murderer to another.
Martin and Ian Paisley from 2 sides of neverness to 2 sides of togetherness for their and eeryones children and grand children was incredible. They probably could not of done it for anyone but by discussing and considering the future for the younger generation and generations to come. Well done...I am sure Christ was in the middle...amen
Beautiful
rest in peace Martin you were loved and the turn out ti say good bye to you shows how much you have the respect of our people and indeed the world your job is done sleep well
What. Well done job killing woman and children. WOW. A real man.
Dan Man Well, I'm not Irish, but I read in the internet that he founded the IRA, but then dismantled it... So... He wasn't a "saint", but at least he put an end to the violence that he started. This should be a point to be considered
the people of Ireland know what he was and what he done but at the time it happened because you had British soldiers killing Catholics who done nothing but practice there religion spoke there native language and played Gaelic sports without him it would be no different today so consider that also ask why he did what he did
I'm American and I agree with you. You actually took the words out of my mouth. Clinton also talks about how Mr. McGuinness decided to give peace a chance....without really bothering to mention that peace was never on the table until all the violence took place. Peaceful protests were met with violence, after centuries of violence and hate. Let Bill Clinton or his wife be faced with the same circumstances as the North and they would be killing innocents quicker than we can say IRA. Thank You Martin McGuinness! You gave us our pride back!!
He certainly didn't found the IRA
It's is undoubtedly inevitable, we will be one, we will be reunited
MarkIRE1 I would love that but sadly economically Ireland cant afford to take on the north as it isnt self sufficient and we have enough money problems without bringing in another 6 counties. So even if we got given them back the irish government wouldnt take them
Bill you should be in power at this moment in time in usa
We miss you every day Martin 🙏
My condolences to the family ,R.I.P Martin
“A great son of Derry”
The crowd applauded him and showed him respect, something people in this country will NEVER show to the current president.
MARTIN MCGUINESS... A GREAT MAN... AND TRUE SON OF IRELAND...
I shook this mans hand does that mean i shook the queens hand
Rest in peace martin bless you my friend
Aside from the context of this speech, a funeral for someone who was involved in a very consequential event in history (the Good Friday agreement), this is a masterclass in Bill Clinton Charisma. Every word is measured for effect. It's the kind of speech that would move and turn the enemies of the man they are burying. I am sure there were people who attended this funeral who agreed to be present as a political gesture, what Clinton did here was, ensure that everyone who was present felt that they were there despite their political position. He appealed to common humanity. I'm not going to opine on whether any of this was right or wrong, I am not going to take sides. But as an independent observer I can see exactly what Clinton did here. This video should be played in every college and business school
Have never listened to Bill Clinton before, but that was one hell of a eulogy.
