CORAL GABLES (CBSMiami) -It is great being here at the U, Hillary Clinton said with a smile, making a U gesture with her hands as she took the stage at the University of Miamis Bank United Center Wednesday night.
Right away, she mentioned the Arizona Governors veto of anti-gay legislation.
Thankfully, the Governor of Arizona has vetoed the discriminatory legislation that was passed, recognizing that inclusive leadership is really what the 21st century is all about, said Mrs. Clinton.
Then Mrs. Clinton went on to talk about Venezuela as U.M. President Donna Shalala reminded her old friend and guest that many in the audience were from South America.
We must be more involved in the Americas, she said, calling for positive and peaceful change, in Venezuela. It is a country that is not being well governed. Its a democracy, no one would argue that it isnt, but a democracy doesnt just mean an election, said Mrs. Clinton. A democracy means a free press, protecting the rights of opponents, protecting a free economy, and having an independent judiciary.
Mrs. Clinton also touched on Syria, the Affordable Health Care Act, and renewable energy before getting the question the entire nation is asking. While a new CBS News/New York Times Poll shows more than 80-percent of Democrats say they want her to run in 2016, Mrs. Clinton politely side stepped an answer.
The question, posed by U.M. President Donna Shalala, was couched on Mrs. Clintons Twitter Bio, which lists every position she has ever held, saying her next job is TBD, or too be determined.
Can you give us some insight into how the TBD in your Bio will play out, Shalala asked. The crowd burst into applause, as Mrs. Clinton grinned and weighed her words.
