Hillary Clinton kicks off her presidential campaign, woos working Americans

NEW YORK: Hillary Rodham Clinton
formally kicked off her presidential
campaign on Saturday with an
enthusiastic embrace of her
potential to become the first woman
to win the White House, asking
supporters gathered at her first
major outdoor rally to join her in
building an America ''where we don't
leave anyone out, or anyone
behind.''
With the downtown New York skyline
and new World Trade Center over
her shoulder, Clinton offered herself
as a fierce advocate for those still
struggling to recover from the Great
Recession.
She promised to carry on the liberal
legacies of President Barack Obama,
and former Presidents Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, her
husband, saying ''real and lasting
prosperity must be built by all and
shared by all.''
While Clinton ended her first
campaign for president in 2008 by
conceding she and her backers
''weren't able to shatter that
highest, hardest glass ceiling,'' she
vowed Saturday to push ahead
toward an ''America where a father
can tell his daughter: Yes, you can
be anything you want to be — even
president of the United States.''

Hillary Clinton has formally
launched her bid to become the
first woman president of the United
States, giving a rallying call to build
a new era of "real and lasting
prosperity" that "should be shared
by all".
She used the first major rally of her
second presidential run to declare
that the goal of her presidency
would be to tip the nation's
economic scales back towards the
middle class.
The former secretary of state
announced her campaign in April
with a low-key rollout and has been
holding listening sessions with
voters in several states.
