Clinton To Teachers: 'Make November A Watershed'

CHICAGO (AP) ― Hillary Rodham Clinton says the only way the United States can start solving its problems and be respected in the world is to elect Barack Obama president.

The New York senator and former Obama rival spoke Saturday to thousands of educators at the American Federation of Teachers' national convention in Chicago.

The teachers union is expected to officially endorse Obama on Sunday when the Illinois senator plans to address the convention by satellite video.

Clinton thanked the teachers union for its earlier support before she suspended her campaign last month and asked the group to help make November "the watershed election it deserves to be."

The former first lady jabbed President Bush and the Republican party, calling Bush's time in office "an aberration."
