Hillary Clinton talks up unity to break down barriers, blasts Trump, in Cleveland appearance

[book_worm]

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought a populist message to Cleveland Saturday, telling a crowd her administration would focus on the issues that most hit America's poor and middle class and breaking down barriers that stand in their way.

The Democratic candidate for president praised President Barack Obama and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, as effective leaders who lifted up the country, and pledged to follow their examples.

"I'm not embarrassed to tell you I am going to take lessons from President Obama and President Clinton," she told a packed house at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church.

The event was organized by A Community Coalition Concerned for Black Life. Last week the group held a similar event to hear Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Clinton talked up plans to improve education and address racism and crime in America and the need to get people to work together to solve problems.

And she took aim at the Republican front-runner, billionaire Donald Trump, for preaching a divisive message.

1. She is spreading the right message, the protesting is probablly going to result in injury to those

participating. We need to be unified and ignore those who are trying to divide.
