Clinton called on fellow Clinton and former Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, and other former Republican presidents, to stand up for human rights and to stand up for free markets. Her remarks came after Vice President Joe Biden said he can't help but feel like a part of her campaign is not up to par. In an interview on CNN, Clinton said: We have to say, it is so important to the American people to stand up, to stand up for fair, just, American, and do the right thing for this country. She also said she was proud of the accomplishments that have already been done. I think we have been able to do so much for the planet because we have done so much that we're not able to do for the rest of us, she said. Obama and Romney have campaigned to build back the U. position on the environment in a statement, calling Clinton's comments an extremely powerful message to any hopeful in this race.
