Clintons Make Rare Public Appearance Together

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) ― Democratic Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, the former president, were on stage Sunday night at a major fund-raiser.

Their rare public appearance together at a Manhattan hotel ballroom brought in over $1 million dollars for her presidential campaign.

Bill Clinton introduced his wife by describing her long career in public service beginning at Yale Law School, where the couple met 35 years ago.

He said he had encouraged her then to pursue a career in New York or Chicago and is still amazed she followed him back to Arkansas, where he was eager to run for office.

He recalled telling her that he had now met all the best people of their generation, and that she was the best. He said he felt more strongly about that today than he did 35 years ago, and that's why she should be president.

Hillary Clinton vowed to pursue several specific goals if elected president, including universal health care, preschool for every child, and making college more affordable.

She also pledged to promote energy independence. She drew laughs from the crowd when she described replacing ordinary light bulbs with energy-efficient models and shutting off lights to conserve power.
