Though a chilled crowd of over 7,000 Obama supporters were not greeted by the man they hoped to see, they were greeted by the best possible stand in that anyone could’ve possibly asked for President Clinton. Many supporters had waited hours in line to see the current President of the United States and were reasonably disappointed when news spread that the President unfortunately had to cancel his speech at the University of Central Florida.
UCF Hospitality and Event Management major freshmen Ashley Long waited nearly 8 hours in line to see the President and admits when she initially heard that the President wasn’t able to make it she was really disappointed and slightly angry. Though when Ashley heard the reason for the Presidents absence she said “I completely understood and I preferred him serving as commander and chief doing his job rather than him being here at UCF.”
According to news sources, the President boarded Air Force 1 from the Orlando International Airport at around 8:30 AM to head to Washington D.C. to monitor and address the nation about Hurricane Sandy which is said to possibly affect over 50 million people in the North East. President Obamas’ main message for citizens was to “Please listen to what your state and local officials are saying.” The President also added that “We're confident that the assets are pre-positioned for an effective response in the aftermath of this storm."
Back at UCF former Governor Charlie Chris and Sen. Bill Nelson both gave their respected speeches and going over the way Obama has help support the state of Florida individually and why they thought highly of him not only as a candidate but as a person as well. President Clinton went into more specific details defending President Obama’s record and supporting policies from the economy, to healthcare and education. “President Obama and the congress invested in putting America back to work.” stated President Clinton. One of Clintons strongest points was on the subject of college loans and that “With our plan, nobody will ever have to drop out of college again.”
As the race to Election Day begins to draw to a close, rallies such as this, urge supporters to make sure that they let their voices be heard and vote.
