Obama 2012: Are you in? my.barackobama.com/presclintonvid Former President William Jefferson Clinton spoke at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, on August 27, 2008.
I forgot how much I love Bill Clinton! This was as good a speach as his speach at the 1992 convention. Nearly as good as Hillary's speach the night before. People wanted a full throated endorsement. That was it.
I remember when gas hit 99c a gallon when Bill was in office, I could fill my tank with less than what 2 gallons of milk cost today... while he wasn't perfect...those were really good times to be in the States.
"the intelligence and curiosity every president needs" I hope my fellow citizens will no longer choose the candidate they most want to have a beer with.
There are different types of leadership. Leading by example. Leading by advances in science, innovation and industry. Leading by commitment to civil liberties. I took Clinton's statement to mean that our reputation for this type of leadership has taken a serious hit in recent years. That we have failed to discover new fuel sources, faltered in human rights, and completely effed up foreign policy.
I love Bob Hawke, the 23rd Prime Minister of Australia and I LOVE THIS DUDE. You're looking at one man who can't be elected President of the United States, and it has nothing to do with his competence. That's a crime and a crime and a crime.
Although i am not an American citizen, i also believe in change by Barack Obama. Even important social transforms he will pursuit within US borders can be important today for other countries also. Clinton's speech was inspiring and well structured.
Wow! I can't wait to experience the difference that four years under a Democratic President will bring. I might actually be able to afford to travel to Europe again, I haven't been able to since 2000.
EXCELLENT SPEECH!! Up with Obama DOWN with Mc Cain. Bill gave the facts, now America must stand up and elect the right leader and the right future!! Obama and Biden '08!!!!
I had a dream about 8 months ago about Bill Clinton giving this exact speech, so amazing to see a dream become reality! I never understand why in my dreams, but when the event comes it all makes sense to me, especially now. Obama will do better than just another 4 years of the same old ramp.
It's not that Obama is so amazing, it's just that he's a heck of a lot better than McCain. People want change, not another guy who is so similar to the horrible George W. Bush.
I'm sure Bill was annoyed at the crowd, ..but, that's self explanatory! Nothing needs to be said. we NEED Obama/Biden in office!! I just watched the RNC.. what a bunch of fcking lame-o's. McCain sounds like a paid actor when reading his speech.."my friends" and they couldn't even pack out a convention? Doesn't that speak for itself too. Oh well...just my opinion! I'm voting for Obama!!
