Bill Clinton Addresses the Democratic National Convention And Hits A Homerun Nominating Obama

If you missed President Bill Clinton's nominating speech last night at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte last night, you missed a hella'va speech! It was simply brilliant and laid out the case for Barack Obama to be reelected as President of the United States come November 6th.


From C-Span:

Former President Bill Clinton told delegates at the Democratic National Convention that he didn't think the Republicans had a strong argument for election, and that President Obama was on the right track towards economic recovery and prosperity.

"I like the argument for President Obama's re-election a lot better," Clinton told the delegates assembled at the Time Warner Cable Arena. "Here it is: He inherited a deeply damaged economy, he put a floor under the crash, he began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a more modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for innovators."

President Clinton addressed the question circulating through the press this week: "Are we where we want to be? No. Is the President satisfied? No. Are we better off than we were when he took office? Yes." He went on to highlight the recovery in jobs and housing, but noted that many people are not feeling it yet.

Clinton, speaking at his seventh Democratic convention, sought to draw contrasts between Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney's view for the future of the country, and that of President Obama.

"If you want a you're-on-your-own, winner-take-all society, you should support the Republican ticket. But if you want a country of shared prosperity and shared responsibility - a we're-all-in-this-together society - you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.‬ "
