Clinton, In Brooklyn, Winks at Possible Move

WNYC News | Apr 1, 2015

When Hillary Clinton started running for U.S. Senate in New York 16 years ago, she would hold events in schools, encouraging parents to talk, sing and read to their children. Now with another campaign looming, Clinton joined New York City First Lady Chirlane McCray in Brownsville to encourage parents to talk sing and read to their children. Before the formal panel began, Clinton did a little singing and reading herself.  

Sitting on a child-sized chair surrounded by a group of toddlers and their teachers, Clinton helped read the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," She did a little clapping, but later made a point of saying "nobody wants to hear me sing."

The event — to announce the "Talk to your Baby" campaign, was held just a few miles from the building widely expected to be Clinton's campaign headquarters. But when asked about that move, Clinton punted. "All in good time. All in good time," she said, before standing and leaving the room.
