FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:
Hillary Rodham Clinton urged thousands of teachers gathered in Chicago today to elect Illinois Sen. Barack Obama president, calling George W. Bush’s time in office an “aberration.
The New York senator and former Obama rival spoke at the American Federation of Teachers’ national convention, held at Navy Pier.
The AFT is expected to endorse Obama Sunday.
Clinton took frequent jabs at the Bush administration.
“The Republicans should hold a press conference tomorrow and apologize to the country and say they’re just not going to run anybody for president,” Clinton said, drawing a standing ovation. “I somehow don’t think that’s going to happen. That means we got to win it.
Clinton said that although she respects presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain for his service to the country, “he will offer four more years of the same failed policies from the economy to health care to Iraq and beyond.
