And, no matter how this primary ends, Senator Clinton has shattered myths and broken barriers and changed the America in which my daughters and your daughters will come of age and for that we are grateful to her," he said.

奥巴马说：“我们在竞选中有分歧，但是我们都钦佩克林顿的勇气，她的执着，她坚韧不拔的精神。不论初选的最终结果如何，克林顿参议员已经打破了神话，消除了障碍，改变了美国， 改变了我的女儿和你们的女儿们将长大成人的这个国家，为此我们要感谢她。”
