Clinton Regrets Not Being Able to Fly to College Graduation From White House

Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday delivered the commencement speech at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she told the graduates that she wished she had been able to fly to the ceremony from the White House.

"It is a joy. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice in it," Clinton said. "It is the day of graduation commencement beginning, and I am deeply honored and delighted to be part of this ceremony."

Clinton said that she was at the college last year during her campaign and that someone asked her to come back and speak this year, presumably assuming that she would be the president.

"I said 'yes.' Now I wish I had flown in from the White House, but I'm just as happy to be here anyway," Clinton said.
