At a fundraiser this morning in Manhattan targeted at women contributors, Barack Obama thanked Hillary Rodham Clinton for joining him in prepared remarks released by his presidential campaign.
“You can rest assure that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country, it will be because of her tireless work,’’ Obama stated. “When we finally transform our energy policy, and lift our children out of poverty, and make our economy work for working families again, it will be because she helped make it happen.
“I’ve admired her as a leader, I’ve learned from her as a candidate, I am proud to call her my friend, and I know how much we’ll need both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton as a party and a country in the months and years to come.
“Hillary and I may have started with separate goals in this campaign, but together, we shattered barriers that have stood firm since the founding of this nation. Â Of course, we all know that one election can’t erase the biases and outdated attitudes we’re still wrestling to overcome. Â And we know there were times during this campaign when those biases emerged. Â But while this campaign has shown us how far we have to go, we also know that because of what Hillary accomplished, my daughters and yours look at themselves a little differently today. Â They’re dreaming a little bigger and setting their sights a little higher today. ‘’
