To do a take from a friend, this is AWESOME.
Hillary Clinton wasted no time in hitting the campaign trail as a surrogate for Barack Obama after their joint appearance earlier in the day, telling an auditorium of black teenagers that Obama sends "each and every one of you his best wishes."
Speaking Friday evening at Columbia University for the first graduation of The Eagle Academy For Young Men, a school she helped start, Clinton said, "Earlier today I had the great pleasure of being in a place called Unity, New Hampshire." She added, "We declared that we would go back together to Unity, New Hampshire to pledge our commitment, together, to change this country."

"Senator Obama has lived the American Dream. The son of a single mother, raised by his grandparents, he had the opportunity to go to a good school and then to use his God-given talents and his willingness to work hard to pursue his own dreams and today, out in that field in Unity we both spoke about how each of us, individually and together, is committed to making it possible for every young person in this great country of ours to fulfill his or her own dreams."
Dressed in the same blue pantsuit she wore earlier today at the big event, Clinton looked relaxed and laughed along with the speakers.
