Clinton to NYU Class of 2009: ‘This is Your Moment’

      U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, at podium, spoke under bright sunny skies in Yankee Stadium’s new home during NYU’s 177th Commencement on May 13, urging graduating students to be part of the solution to the economic crisis and other world issues. “The times that you are graduating in are, yes, perhaps more difficult and somewhat more daunting,” Clinton said. “But that’s when we really rise together.” She admitted the work ahead will be difficult but—quoting a line from one her favorite movies, A League of Their Own—noted that, “If it were easy, anyone could do it.”
