Yep - Bill's still got that uncanny knack for delivering great speeches. I especially love the line:

"...People around the world have always been more impressed with the power of our example, than the example of our power."

[joshtpa]

Do you think he still has interns?

[Smallville]

Doesn't matter, he's still a democrat. I didn't watch, but I agree he's a very good speaker so I assume he spun whatever he was talking about pretty well.

Wouldnt you if you were married to that?

mostly he just spun the truth

"Look at the example the Republicans have set: American workers have given us consistently rising productivity. They've worked harder and produced more. What did they get in return? Declining wages, less than ¼ as many new jobs as in the previous eight years, smaller health care and pension benefits, rising poverty and the biggest increase in income inequality since the 1920s. American families by the millions are struggling with soaring health care costs and declining coverage. I will never forget the parents of children with autism and other severe conditions who told me on the campaign trail that they couldn't afford health care and couldn't qualify their kids for Medicaid unless they quit work or got a divorce. Are these the family values the Republicans are so proud of? What about the military families pushed to the breaking point by unprecedented multiple deployments? What about the assault on science and the defense of torture? What about the war on unions and the unlimited favors for the well connected? What about Katrina and cronyism?""

Wow,
I am going to pass on getting into the political discussion, but, all I will say is this. If Bill Clinton could not tell the truth to the Grand Jury, why does anyone think he will tell the truth during a speech to back someone his wife lost to at the DNC? That is absurd.

It was an excellent speech. However, it may be too little to late. Bill spent that last year acting like a petulant child, and for the past 2 or 3 months he and his wife have done nothing but sow division. We shall see.

If the American people elect John McCain it means they are happy with where this country has been going for the past 8 years. We get what we deserve.

Wow,

Heh. You have an interesting way of passing getting into political discussions.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[pjsnyc]

Wow,

Heheh - you could look at both as a way of going against Hillary. In that case, he's being pretty consistent

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

I know many people do not like bill clinton but i think he was a pretty good president. I like Obama a lot too, and I agree with a previous poster, if the American people elect McCain, I guess they are satisfied with what has gone on over the past 8 years with Bush. I'm not seeing many differences.

At least Obama preaches change. Whether he'd bring that, only time will tell if he were to be elected.

[Uber$winG]

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

No... I live in Denver, which is like a democratic prison, for this week anyways.

Explain the similarities, Im not defending McCain, I just think if you look at his overall political career he has been a lot different than Bush.

his voting record is 95% in line with bush doctrine, 5% isn't alot

[TheGasman]

John McCain has voted with a majority of his Republican colleagues 88.3% of the time during the current Congress. This percentage does not include votes in which McCain did not vote.

Barack Obama has voted with a majority of his Democratic colleagues 96.0% of the time during the current Congress. This percentage does not include votes in which Obama did not vote. I said I wasnt defending McCain, but where did you get that number. I got these from the Washington post. I realize these are in line with the party and not the president.

HItting a homerun and Bill Clinton should never be in the same sentence. The only thing he ever did was pass more sex related laws than all other presidents combined. I would have thought there were more pressing issues.

[Smallville]

wow!!! bill clinton hits home run at dnc

Who did he have sex with now? Oh that wasn't a slang term for . . .oh well, never mind.
