Clinton's graceful concession

I want to share Hillary Clinton's concession speech, for those of you who did not see it. Of course, it is 30 minutes, but you can fast forward if you wish. Sometimes the best speeches are concession speeches. Candidates don't have to listen to their handlers, and they can say what they really want to say. Yes, to my LGBT friends who said Hillary refused to specifically talk about the rights of gays, she did actually use the word "gay" several times in the speech. And although I voted for Barack Obama, I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton would have been a dogged fighter for the opportunity and rights of all Americans.
