President Clinton came just five minutes shy of the length of his 1992 nomination speech in a gift tonight to President Obama: an endorsement speech that hit on every embattled topic from ObamaCare and “shared prosperity” to voter ID and the DREAM Act.
“We’re here to nominate a president, and I’ve got one in mind,” Clinton said. “I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty. …I want a man who believes with no doubt that we can build a new American dream economy, driven by innovation and creativity, by education and, yes, by cooperation. And by the way, after last night, I want a man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.”
“I want Barack Obama to be the next president of the United States and I proudly nominate him as the standard bearer of the Democratic Party,” he said, kicking off his remarks.
Obama came out on stage after the 48-minute address — the third-longest in Clinton’s seven Democratic National Conventions — for a stiff hug and to pose for the cameras together. The state roll call then began to formally nominate Obama for a second term.
But the night belonged to the two-term president from Arkansas.
Clinton touted the “job score” for the two parties in administrations since 1961 as “Republicans: twenty-four million; Democrats: forty-two.” New unemployment numbers will be released by the Labor Department the morning after Obama’s acceptance speech.
“There’s a reason for this,” he said. “It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics. Why? Because poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.”
Clinton lamented what he saw as the deteriorating political tone in this country. “Maybe just because I grew up in a different time, but though I often disagree with Republicans, I actually never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate our president and a lot of other Democrats,” he said, adding praise for presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, and both Bushes. “I have to be grateful — and you should be, too — that President George W. Bush supported PEPFAR. It saved the lives of millions of people in poor countries.”
“When times are tough and people are frustrated and angry and hurting and uncertain, the politics of constant conflict may be good, but what is good politics does not necessarily work in the real world. What works in the real world is cooperation,” the former president added.
“Why does cooperation work better than constant conflict? Because nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.”
Though not referencing the senator (or Tea Party) by name, Clinton used Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) as an example of the direction of “the faction that now dominates the Republican Party.”
“They beat a Republican congressman with almost 100 percent voting record on every conservative score because he said he realized he did not have to hate the president to disagree with him,” he said. “Boy, that was a non-starter, and they threw him out.”
Clinton said that the Republican National Convention “looked good, they sounded good. They convinced me that they all love their families and their children, and we’re grateful they’ve been born in America, and all — really, I’m not being — they did.”
He impressed upon the audience that he trusts Republicans as “honorable” to their commitments, but “in order to look like an acceptable, reasonable, moderate alternative to President Obama” the Tampa convention didn’t elaborate much on those plans.
But he said the challenge that Democrats face is that “a lot of Americans are still angry and frustrated about this economy.”
“But too many people do not feel it yet. I had this same thing happen in 1994 and early ’95,” Clinton said. “We could see that the policies were working, that the economy was growing, but most people didn’t feel it yet. Thankfully, by 1996, the economy was roaring, everybody felt it, and we were halfway through the longest peacetime expansion in the history of the United States.”
“The difference this time is purely in the circumstances. President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did. Listen to me now. No president, no president — not me, not any of my predecessors — no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years.”
Wilie gave a good speech. He always has been an entertaining performer.
I just wonder who, afterward, gave him his first BJ of the night, Chrisie Mathews or Fluke, the Georgetown slut.
Well here’s one lie willy always has for his audience and it includes gingrich as well:
IMPEACHED clinton NEVER HAD A SURPLUS. It was a myth. The national debt went up every year clinton was in office. clinton paid down the public debt by borrowing far more from the intra-governmental debt, which continued to skyrocket. The national debt is comprised of both. If clinton had a true surplus the national debt would have decreased. It didn’t:

I just can’t forget how the Kosovo War started with Bill Clinton’s war on women.
Yes, it’s true…
1389 AD ?? Oh yeah, that was the year when the Serbs got their puny asses kicked by the Turks on the Field of Blackbirds. Bad luck indeed.
Other than his Kool-Aid party loyaly, Clinton is vapid.
Consider the Source. This is the same man who said, in no particular order (and many times under oath):
“It depends on what the meaning of the words ‘is’ is.” –Bill Clinton, during his 1998 grand jury testimony on the Monica Lewinsky affair
“It depends on how you define alone…” –Bill Clinton, in his grand jury testimony
“There were a lot of times when we were alone, but I never really thought we were.” –Bill Clinton, in his grand jury testimony
“What’s a man got to do to get in the top fifty?” –Bill Clinton, reacting to a survey of journalists that ranked the Monica Lewinsky scandal as the 53rd most significant story of the century
“I don’t know whether it’s the finest public housing in America or the crown jewel of the American penal system.” –Bill Clinton, on the White House
“When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale and never tried it again.” –Bill Clinton
“Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that.” –Bill Clinton, to a woman friend while he was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford
“It was a real sort of Southern deal. I had AstroTurf in the back. You don’t want to know why, but I did.” –Bill Clinton, reminiscing about a pickup truck he once owned

“Being president is like running a cemetery: you’ve got a lot of people under you and nobody’s listening.” –Bill Clinton
“Last year, the vice president launched a new effort to help make communities more liberal.” —Bill Clinton, during his 2000 State of the Union Speech. He meant to say “more livable,” and then made the same slip-up in a subsequent sentence, drawing uproarious laughter from Republicans
“I asked him to do it because he was the only person that I could trust to read all 150,000 pages in the Code of Federal Regulations.” –Bill Clinton, on asking Vice President Al Gore to tackle federal regulatory reform
“Sometimes I feel like the fire hydrant looking at a pack of dogs. For six years I had declined to tell those kinds of jokes, because I have been told it is not presidential. But I feel kind of outdoorsy today.” –Bill Clinton, at a party honoring the 150th anniversary of the Interior Department
“Well, I don’t have much job security.” –Bill Clinton, in 1992, on why he still plays the saxophone

“You’d think he was running for First Lady.” –Bill Clinton, on George H. W. Bush’s criticism of Hillary Clinton
“If President Reagan could be an actor and become president, maybe I could become an actor. I’ve got a good pension. I can work for cheap.” -Bill Clinton, at a Hollywood fundraiser

– buy that shit, you deserve getting unked.
Bill would have been as great a used car salesman as Obama is a con artist.
His mind is still be in the Soros clouds and his talk is still all make believe
Oh lord, the man’s a fraud, he’s a flim flam man
He’s wrapped himself up in a big beautiful box making out like he’ll give out more gifts than Santa Claus
Oh lord, the man’s a fraud, he’s a flim flam man
Oh yeah, the smooth talking gent, you know he’ll leave you with hardly any medical care and nary a cent
But maybe he can heal the sick and pay your bills with his charm
His Marxist plans may be back up his sleeve but his talk is still all make believe
Oh lord, the man’s a fraud, he’s a flim flam man
“And so far every single person that’s bet against America has lost money, because we always come back,” he said.
I’d rather not put that to the severe test of a second Obama four.
How many lies were told tonight? Have Americans lost the ability to count or care?
Dear Leader has mastered all the advanced branches or arithmetic: ambition, distraction, falsification and derision.
** APPLAUSE **
Hardly. The original quote is from Alice in Wonderland: Ambition, Distraction, Uglification and Derision, said the Mock Turtle.
Gee, trying to talk up the economy when the vast majority of Americans have a negative economic outlook, seems like a brilliant plan. 9_9;
Who are you going to believe, America – Slick Willie or your own lyin’ eyes?
I give Bill Clinton credit and kudos. In that freak show of what appeared to be a carnie convention I witnessed tonight, headlined by Sandra Fluke and Spouting Bull Warren, what better place for a known perjurer to sell the soul of an entire party?
Clinton, a likely serial rapist and well documented skirt chaser, was the perfect candidate to represent the War on Women.
And if Romney and Ryan are half as bright as promised, it ought to take about ten minutes to discount everyone of those outrageous lies told by the Master of Lies in the very first debate.
Slick Willie was only “Proving” to his fellow leftists that he was doing his best for the loser Obama. By doing this he will have the backing of all this loony crowd so that after Romney wins Willie can then go to the Dems and ask for their support for Hillary. This is so obvious that it is freighting. If Obama wins Hillary will not stand a chance because the leftists will have spent the country into the poor house and she will be vilified along with the rest of the rabble in the WH.
I thought this, as well. Clinton made outrageous lies, off the scale of any possible reality. It had to be a huge I.O.U. issued to Bam and the Dem bosses.
The problem for Hill is that by the time four years roll around, her lesbianism (or quasi-bisexualism–I’ve a lesbian friend who says she’s been everything, hetero, bi, fully lez, back to bi, and around the block–so who knows what Hillary’s specific issue on that is) will have sunk her, esp re: her girly pet Huma Amedin and the (I hope) developing scandal of how a Muslim Brotherhood operative got so close to the Clintons and affected our foreign policy.
See the AT article: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/09/bill_and_hillary_and_huma_and_anthony.html
for more info.
(At least Hill fell for a good-looking spy-girl.)
It’s a bigger scandal than Fast and Furious, and that’s saying something.
An Préachán
Yeah, but on the other hand, the Clinton’s bank account just got a lot fatter. In order for Bill-Jeff to prostitute himself like that, he will demand several million dollars. Not that he minds prostituting himself, mind you. It’s just that he saw another opportunity to gain wealth for himself while getting some action in another area. It’s a win-win for him. He has nothing to lose. The socialist faithful see him as the one, true messiah while the D’oh-bama camp thinks of him nostalgically. He can’t lose. And by virtue of the fact that he cannot be president again, he has no dog in this fight. Therefore, it’s all profit for him.
He couldn’t care less if nappy-head gets re-elected or not. He simply provided a service for cash on the barrelhead. Like any hooker, he’ll do anything if the price is right. He’s learned much from the company he keeps.
I was thinking the same thing. The DNC must have cut Bill a king sized check last night for his speaking engagement.
And it worked. My Facebook wall was covered with love letters to Bill Clinton this morning.
“What a great speaker!”
“Oh my God he was incredible!”
Yuck.
Another thought crossed my mind today as well. Bill-Jeff, who genuinely despises Brack, showed up to showhim up as well. As you said, people went ga-ga and virtually had a sexual experience with Bill-Jeff biting his lip and giving his thumb up. Afterwards, I’m pretty sure he was thinking, “Follow that, shoe-shine-boy…heh-heh…I still got it. You never had it and never will. I had them eating out of my hand and they love me. I am the real star here.”
Inside, Brack has to be fuming over the disparity in the level of enthusiasm over Bill-Jeff vs. himself.
It’s odd though that both of them are self-serving twits but the difference is that Bill-Jeff seems to be able to schmooze better than Brack. However, it also indicates to me that the democrats are desperately wanting a benevolent dictator that they can claim loyalty to; To be owned by. Much of American fan-dom is like that. You can say the same about die-hard Elvis fans, Michael Jackson fans, etc. They are stupid and weird.
They follow their chosen superstar around like strange little creatures, forgoing any basic sustenance even, just to get a glimpse of their hero. To that I say how pathetic their lives must truly be for such a vapid pursuit.
But the mystique of Brack is failing and was demonstrated with a Clinton re-run that demonstrated that a guy who was president almost 20 years ago is way more popular in the socialist circles than the current guy who talks just as much and says just as little.
It’s now time for Brack to come out of the closet as gay, get caught being “serviced” by a white house male intern and his popularity in the socialist party like energy prices, will necessarily skyrocket. Yes, it would save his failing popularity, if not his presidency.
He laments race-baiting and then race-baits. Go have a drink Mr. President. You’ve had a busy day.
‘“Folks, whether the American people believe what I just said or not may be the whole election,” he said’–Slick
Believe Slick Willie???
Well, if they’re dumb enough to buy 45 minutes of complete hogwash from the Perjurer-in-Chief, I reckon they’ll vote for Obama.
two, count ‘em, two, disbarred lawyers, each one notorious for his lying forked tongue, hug and make up like that.
I’d thought the very same thing!
Robert Patterson’s, ‘Dereliction of Duty’ goes into some detail of then-President Clinton for whom Patterson carried the nuclear football, ’96-’98 respectively.

Anybody that disagrees with Willie, he calls “them” even while espousing “cooperation” and ” a we’re-all-in-this-together society”; which is of course “egalité”, where the individual takes a back seat.
Willie is a master Orwellian BS artist; he says exactly what Obama says, but has the ability to confidently use words that are so deceptive to so many. Alinsky would have let Willie re-write “Rules For Radicals” using more palatable and deceptive words and even more palatable and deceptive examples.
Bottome line: Willie and Obama are all about POWER and they have no place in positions of authority. Willie’s entire speech was an honor violation – lying in order to deceive; and an insult to all Americans and freedom loving people around the world. Obama is an “amateur”; Willie is a professional.
I’d like to point out that if you really read the speech and read between the lines – it’s an anti-Obama, pro Bill Clinton, pro Hillary speech!
“a man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter — no matter how many jobs that he saved or created, there’d still be millions more waiting, worried about feeding their own kids, trying to keep their hopes alive.” NEGATIVE
“a man who believes with no doubt that we can build a new American dream economy, driven by innovation and creativity, by education and, yes, by cooperation.” WHAT cooperation?
“how the president and the Democrats don’t really believe in free enterprise and individual initiative”
“In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private- sector jobs” Where are they?
“[We know that investments] in education and infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase growth. [They increase good jobs, and they create new wealth for all the rest of us.]”
“President George W. Bush supported PEPFAR. (AIDS Relief) It saved the lives of millions of people in poor countries.” See the Republicans are NOT all anti-gay.
“Los Angeles is getting green and Chicago is getting an infrastructure bank”
Green with Aliens? [infrastructure bank] borrow from private funds to finance public improvements
“Look at his record. Look at his record. Look at his record.” The Fiasco of his presidency or the the records of his whole life that are sealed?
“And he trusted that vice president to oversee the successful end of the war in Iraq and the implementation of the Recovery Act.
And Joe Biden — Joe Biden did a great job with both.” Iraq is in shambles and $787 billion for programs that even come close to reaching their goals.
“Now — now, he — President Obama — President Obama appointed several members of his cabinet, even though they supported Hillary in the primary. Heck, he even appointed Hillary.
Now, wait a minute. I am — I am very proud of her. I am proud of the job she and the national security team have done for America.
I am grateful that they have worked together” Ah, yes Hillary
“And I am especially grateful to Michelle Obama and to Jill Biden for supporting those military families while their loved ones were overseas…
… and for supporting our veterans when they came home, when they come home bearing the wounds of war or needing help to find education or jobs or housing.” Began January of 2011, hmmm
“n Tampa, the Republican argument against the president’s re- election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy. It went something like this: “We left him a total mess. He hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.”
Now — but — but they did it well. They looked good, they sounded good. They convinced me…” We know, wink, wink
“Now, are we where we want to be today? No. Is the president satisfied? Of course not. But are we better off than we were when he took office?”
(APPLAUSE)…….But the those of us watching did NOT applaud!
“Everybody (inaudible) when President Barack Obama took office, the economy was in freefall. It had just shrunk 9 full percent of GDP. We were losing 750,000 jobs a month. Are we doing better than that today?” One more plug for Romney, Thank you
“But too many people do not feel it yet. I had this same thing happen in 1994 and early ‘95. We could see that the policies were working, that the economy was growing, but most people didn’t feel it yet. Thankfully, by 1996, the economy was roaring, everybody felt it, and we were halfway through the longest peacetime expansion in the history of the United States.” Remember me , Bill Clinton; OH by the way, I had different policies than Obama.
“So the president’s student loan reform is more important than ever. Here’s what it does. Here’s what it does. Here’s what it does.
You need to tell every voter where you live about this. It lowers the cost of federal student loans. And even more important, it gives students the right to repay those loans as a clear, fixed, low percentage of their income for up to 20 years.” You need a job first before you can pay off any loan.
SKIPPING past the Lies
“President Obama’s plan cuts the debt” INCREASES the DEBT?
“God bless you. And God bless America.” Not part of the democratic platform…Oh look they’re voting on it

– Obama beat Hillary, given the case Bill Clinton made for him.
Clinton has always danced with the devil, but last night he sold his soul.
The modern democrat party is the party of “Sandra fluck”. The “War on Women” excluding Egyptian “War on Women” sponsored by Barack Obama.
A limerick (or two or three) with the first line ending in “Sandra Fluck” is just begging to be written.
C’mon: I once knew a girl named Sandra Fluck…..
Anyone?
Earth to commenters here so far: Bubba rocked last night. C’mon, join the party. Why so grumpy?
BJ is a good speaker, no doubt about it, and from what I’ve read, it was well-written.
Unfortunately, neither of those things has any bearing one whether it contained any facts.
If cooperation is so wonderful, then why won;t the Dems cooperate? Reid has been stonewalling bill after bill from the House.
Sure, he rocked…if you’re into listening to 45 minutes of bloviating bulls**t from a draft-dodger, philanderer and perjurer.
I’m sure the Communist (excuse me, I meant Democrat) rank and file sucked it all up, much like Monica Lewinsky once did.
Not sure the delegates (and tv watchers) sucked it all up – most certainly Monica didn’t – something hit the dress…
Complaining about deficits rung up when the current White House resident has accrue 5 trillion additional debt in just 3-/12 years is pretty ballsy. Then again, this is Clinton we’re talking about.
Clinton is the biggest tragedy in recent history, a textbook example of what happens when you have the ability and all the building blocks for greatness but lack the character or the moral compass to stay on course.
So we get soft soap and baloney as usual, powerfully delivered, also as usual:
“a lot of Americans are still angry and frustrated about this economy.”
…not quite, Bill, the economy is a symptom not a cause. We’re boiling mad about the incompetence and dishonesty of politicians, R and D, and we have no tolerance at all for any who temporize about the accelerating decline of our country. We all know who the usual suspects are, and we want them gone.
Peaceful or not, that is the question, the only question.
I do believe the average ‘elite person’ believes this will all blow over, and that business as usual will resume any day now. Good luck.
when the moment demands the big lie….don’t just bring in any old accomplished liar…bring in the maestro….bring on Bubba!!! The only thing missing was the white suit and with Bubba leading a chorus of “Zippidy-Do-Da…Zippidy-Ay”….
I mentioned this on Steve Green’s drunkblog thread and I will repeat it here.
D party officials want to make Bill as prominent as possible here. He is their only major success in the last 50 years. Yes, a success, for presiding over a growing economy and shrinking deficits/relative spending/whatever. Pay no attention to that R-controlled Congress… He is a perfect foil to divert attention away from the current SCOAMF and make people think they will be getting a BJC third term. We are watching a bait-n-swich in progress. If the Griswolds end up driving off with the Family Truckster then we know who is to blame for the aftermath!
It should be noted that this great “success” of the Dems is the second president to have been impeached and he never got 50 percent of the vote. He did, however, manage to return Congress to the GOP after a generation and he single-handedly ended the sexual harassment witch-hunts that were becoming commonplace in the mid-90s.
I am amused at the praise he gets for being, essentially, a really good used car salesman selling a car that won’t even start. He hasn’t changed a bit. He sold America the car back in the 90′s. Are we really still that gullible?
Shouldn’t a former President at least know that George Washington’s “wooden teeth” is a myth? He did have false teeth, but they were made of animal teeth, ivory, metal and springs.
I confess: I actually miss Bubba a little bit. He was a playa, someone you could make deals with, which is better than a hardcore leftist ideologue.
C’mon guys, give honor where honor is due. He is the Reagan of the left. Both were cheery flim-flam men who knew how to communicate with America. They also made or were forced into policy decisions that yielded some version of prosperity. RR’s depended on not worrying about deficits and Slick Willie’s on the dot com bubble. The Gipper was not an adulterer (at least while he was President) but could double talk on Iran-Contra as only a great communicator could.
But bottom line, Clinton could make deals with Newt, Reagan with O’Neil and some things would actually get done. Obama has not shown that ability; maybe Romney could. But in any case, the worst thing would be to have all three branches, all of the same party.
This fetishist, Willieboy, is now the toast of the convention huh? He used a cigar on a young celebrity-struck intern, lied about it to our faces on television, and perjured himself over it. Now he is Ironhat McCarty, the pride of his party. Where were Sandra Fluke and her taxpayer-funded diaphragms made of the finest, densest Japanese silk when Willie needed her. Oh yeah, the cigar. Willie wouldn’t have needed any diaphragm.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KrtIaYDB7M
Fluke will probably run for the Senate one day (guess for which party). Go Rush. Don’t pay any attention to the warm milk before bed folks. Give the Dems the steel. They would do the same. Never forget that. (Gee, Mom, what would Senator Durban do in a case like this?)
“Why does cooperation work better than constant conflict? Because nobody’s right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.”
What then, good sir, are at least two things the Tea Party is correct on? Let’s take budget deficits, for example. You did pretty well in that regard, I remember.
I want to add on to my previous. I voted for this man, this flawed man, in ’92, being a young man properly trained by the media to intuitively view the world as right-thinking people were supposed to feel about it. Like many others, by 1994 I was done with him.
I have lived my entire adult life under the media/Hollywood-enabled double standard that does not give conservatives or Republicans a break, that does it best to demonize their opinions and views, and I have had all I intend to take. I simply do not want to stay part of this society anymore if it is going to be ruled by that double standard; if it is going to be ruled by Progressivism. This nation is still a center-right nation, but under current trajectories I do not think it will stay so. I’m simply not accepting this, as I do not feel it was done honorably, but by stealth and by taking over institutions and then biasing the debates thereafter. By using Alinsky tactics. Done by a side guilty of sins itself, as Bill himself has shown. Those of the left are mere flawed men who are posing as angels. And demonizing you if you do not treat them as such.
The 35-45% of Americans who are probably rock-ribbed anti-Democrats need to understand they are on the path to extinction under the current way things are done. A planned extinction. They need to take action if they don’t want that to happen, and they need to start seriously thinking about alternatives. I do not think the irredeemable tipping point has been reached, but it could have been.
As for myself, I am not living under this double standard society if I can help it. I will either change the society, or find a new one more conducive to my feelings. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and their Hollywood/media/academia buddies are not making me a pariah in the country my forefathers founded. Not without consequences, anyway.
I’ll leave it to Bill to determine whether the above meets his “twice a day” criteria.
Not being snarky at all, just curious, what place do you have in mind?
The fundamental problem is that we ultimately will not be voting for either Bill Clinton or the kind of policies or the political comity he would support.
“Maybe just because I grew up in a different time, but though I often disagree with Republicans, I actually never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate our president and a lot of other Democrats,”
Oh Gee! Another call for “civility” from the Democratic Party. Maybe I am missing something here but havn’t the Deomcrats and their operatives been calling every Republican from the local guy running for township trustee all the way to Mitt Romney a “facist, racist and hater of women” for the last decade? Perhaps I misinterpreted what I heard in those palmy days of George W. Bush. Perhaps the venomous HATRED that was spewed on Mr. Bush was really a restrained and measured form of the polite criticism that Mr. Clinton seems to prize. Didn’t the DNC virtually accuse Mitt Romney of murder just a few weeks ago?
THAT is the real reason to despise Bill Clinton. He has always struck this above-the-fray, reach-across-the-aisle attitude with that “aw shucks” expression knowing full well that the James Carvilles of the world are working round the clock to slander the hell out of his opponents. The willing assistance of the MSM and the adoration they hold for Willie is another confidence-building factor.
To this very day I remember a face on national television, actually world television, reassuring us, “I did not have sex with that woman.” So much for your integrity. Just like Madeleine Albright answered about blaming Bush for the world’s ills, I will NEVER quit calling you a despicable liar unworthy of anyone’s trust or admiration.
It’s debatable whether Bubba or barry is a better liar, but there isn’t a debate about which one is the most dangerous.
Bubba picked the Democrat party because that is where he though he could get laid the easiest, dim dems being the most gullible in the world. He isn’t idealogical; or rather, his ideology is telling whatever lies keep him in the clover.
But barry is a committed leftist idealogue who had his ideology imprinted in his brain before he reached 20. And he hasn’t changed a single idea in 30 years. Stack that on top of the ultimate Affirmative Action life (handed everything from the time he was 2) that resulted in the most arrogant human being on the planet, bar none; and a host of influencers who imprinted a boiling hatred for the country, the founding principles and white people, and you have a combustible mixture the world hasn’t seen in decades. This guy would set his enemies on fire if he could. And the country is his primary enemy.
– put some ice on that.
It is vital, for survival, to consider facts. Smooth talking people can, and do, distort reality, for their gain. (and your loss.) Bill Clinton profited, through no personal contribution, from two historic national blessings. During his term, America benefited from the collapse of the USSR, and the explosion in commerce due to the electronic chip (the internet, Microsoft, Goggle, Facebook, cell phones, etc.) America, Bill Clinton, did poorly in relating to a starving continent. Yeltsin, a drunk and liar, destroyed his country, but Clinton did nothing to help. Putin, the classic Russian tough guy is the result. The bonanza which flowed from electronics has one essential characteristic, almost zero government involvement, no regulation.
Obama was dealt a war, and an economic collapse. In spite of his distortions, he now owns both. As a result of both men, and both parties, America now has a centrally controlled society.
Fracking, prime fuel extraction, is apparently the next blessing, except, unlike electronics, the government is encircling it like a constricting snake. It took money from bond holders and paid GM union men. It gave your money to Solyndra in a back room deal.
Two men stood on the stage at Tampa, two at Charlotte. I take what they say with a grain of salt. I judge one wants more government control over a sick economy. Clinton says it will not kill us. I do not believe him.
You know the difference between forcing banks to give loans to people who can’t afford them and forcing insurance companies to cover people with pre existing conditions? Me neither. Get ready for the industry bail out of insurance companies along with the next great depression. Let’s rename the DemocRat’s War on Poverty the War on Economics, or American.

The whole “adult children up to age 26 on parents’ insurance policy and no worries over pre-existing conditions” mantra is a BIG PIECE OF COW FLOP. We recently tried to get our new college grad daughter on our health insurance policy (Aetna) and were DENIED for pre-existing conditions (not serious ones either: eczema??????) I just about threw my Bud Lite at the screen when Kathleen Sibelius came on.
The Most MASTERFUL Piece of SABOTAGE Yet! Bill Clinton #Eastwooding the DNC with his own empty chair.
Apparently you and 3 or 4 others watched him.
The rest of us watched the Cowboys pummel the Giants.
Clinton’s TV rating: 0.9%
Was he really referencing Lugar with that statement?: “They beat a Republican congressman … because he said he realized he did not have to hate the president to disagree with him.” According the USAToday website

Lugar voted for both Obama’s supreme court nominees; I think that’s enough to falsify it.
“And so far every single person that’s bet against America has lost money, because we always come back,” he said.
“So far” America has managed to bounce back. Can this continue if Obama gets 4 more years?
My money is on NO…
