BILL CLINTON STEALS THE SHOW

In Day 2 of the DNC, Democrats picked up last night where they left off the night before — revved and ready.

The prime-time session included words from Sandra Fluke, who Rush Limbaugh called a “slut” for her position on a woman’s right to choose, as well as a speech from Sister Simone Campbell, one of the “Nuns on the Bus,” who brought the crowd to their feet when she questioned Paul Ryan’s Catholic values for turning his back on the poor.

But the star of the night was former President Bill Clinton, who officially nominated Barack Obama for President.  Clinton is a master orator and make no mistake, he was in rare form Wednesday night.

In his 48 minutes of remarks, the former president systematically dissected all the charges Republicans hurled at President Obama during their convention last week. He reminded voters of what Mr. Obama faced on his first day in office and the impossible task it was to fix it. “I couldn’t (fix it).  None of my predecessors could.  No one could fix this mess in 4 years,”  Clinton said.  He then made light of what Republicans have been telling voters: “We took 8 years to make this mess.  He (President Obama) didn’t fix it fast enough, so give it back to us,” Clinton said to raucous laughter.

At the end of his speech, President Obama surprised the crowd by joining Mr. Clinton on stage, as the crowd went wild!

Bill Clinton was there to remind voters of the good old days and to convince voters that Barack Obama is the man for the job and deserves 4 more years.  He was so successful, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said this was the best speech he’s ever heard from Mr. Clinton.  CNN political analyst Alex Castellanos, who happens to be a Republican, also surprised everyone on live television by basically ditching Mitt Romney and saying:  “Lock the doors (of the convention). That was probably the speech that reelected Barack Obama.”
