President Clinton, I sang at his post-inauguration party out in Maryland.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When Bill Clinton ran in '92, and I listened to him, and I had of course known of his record from Arkansas, I found him extraordinarily inspirational, and I voted Democratic.
I've been privileged to meet presidents and sing at inaugurations and other political events.
I thought I would be governor of Massachusetts. I stood on a pile of my old albums and said, 'I'm the only one with a record to stand on.'
I voted for Barack Obama.
I sang with Anita Bryant in the Southern Baptist churches.
I was Hillary in '08. I love Obama, but I was Hillary first, so I was happy to be back there with her again.
I came into the Republican party in 1980, when I was a college student at Georgetown.
I sang at the Inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral.
I went on the road with Hillary Rodham Clinton when she was out campaigning.
When Ronald Reagan was elected I was on a bus traveling with a band in France. I wrote a little arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner in a minor key.
