I talked to Bill Clinton!!

After his impressive speech, former President Clinton walked a long the stage as a rock star. Everyone wanted to shake his hand, take pictures and have him sign his book. But that was not what I wanted. During his speech he mentioned Denmark, my country, as a great example and a country to follow, because of our increase in wealth, but decrease in inequality, no increase in consumption of energy, and 25 % of the energy in Denmark comes from windmills. I have never been as proud of being a Dane than when he said: “In tiny Denmark..”. Therefore what I wanted was to talk to the President about that. I got in line and shock his hand, but he could not hear that I said I was from Denmark. But you should never give up without doing everything you can, so I got in line again further down the fence, and this time he could hear me. We talked for what seam to be 5 minutes, but was probably only 1 or 2. It was amazing standing there talking with him, well he did most of the talking, but wow it was cool.
