Senator Obama speaks with vets

Senator Obama brought his campaign to Washington yesterday, speaking to veterans at a town hall style event on W&J's campus. The event was geared specifically towards the veterans concerns in the coming election, meaning the topics of the war in Iraq, the veteran administration, and physical and mental health care for discharged veterans were among those discussed.

We're featuring a similar setup to President Bill Clinton's videos from a few weeks back. You can catch a brief highlight clip of the speech and subsequent question-and-answer session, or you can watch the entire thing from start to finish, roughly 56 minutes of video.

Senator Hillary Clinton will allegedly be visiting Cal U on Saturday, though that has yet to be corroborated. Her daughter Chelsea stumped for her at Waynesburg yesterday.

Mr. Clinton comes to Washington...& Jefferson

President Bill Clinton made W&J his first stop on the campaign trail. He is of course campaigning for his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, who will be hoping for a win in the upcoming Pennsylvania Democrat election which is just around the corner.

President Clinton was greeted warmly by a packed audience consisting of mostly Hillary supporters (although a young man with a shirt espousing his disagreement with Hillary on the Iraq war and a lone Ron Paul supporter were in attendance). During his speech, he touched on the topics of health care, the economy, the previously mentioned war, international diplomacy, education, and the environment.

You can take a brief look at the speech or watch the whole thing if you like. The full version comes in a little under 40 minutes.
