Bill Clinton to Speak at Democratic Convention
Foxnews.com ^ | 8 August 2008

Posted on 08/07/2008 9:25:59 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

Bill Clinton will speak on the third day of the Democratic National Convention, FOX News has confirmed.

The former president has been scheduled to address the convention on Wednesday, Aug. 27, before the speech by the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee, according to a senior Democratic source familiar with the situation.

The news comes on the heals of statements by Hillary Clinton that she might ask for her name be offered for a roll call vote at the convention — a formality, since she already has withdrawn from the Democratic race and thrown her support behind Barack Obama, the presumptive nominee.

Hillary Clinton’s comments set off speculation about whether any ill will remained between Obama and the Clintons following a hard-fought and lengthy primary race.

Obama’s campaign hadn’t commented as of Thursday evening on talk of Bill Clinton speaking at the convention, but Obama responded earlier in the day to questions about the Clinton’s support of his candidacy.

It looks like “America’s first black president” will be singing the praises of America’s first black Clinton.

If it were anyone else, I would assume that that spot on Slick’s upper lip was just a cold sore. But he’s got to be a walking STD incubator, so I won’t.

Slick will indulge in the boilerplate Bush-bashing, of couse, but then things get interesting, because he sort of figures that he, and not Obama, is the Man From Hope. I don't think that building is big enough to hold both of those bloated egos.

And every word is going to cost cash money. With the Clintons nothing's for free, especially loyalty. "An honest politician is one who stays bought," but who ever accused the Clintons of honesty?

I can’t wait for this — he’ll finally be the one to whom the phrase “speak into Mister Microphone” is being said. Maybe he’ll tell us all that monogamy is the secret to defeating AIDS.

This just gets better and better. If Larry Sinclair isn’t there, Bill can speak after John Edwards.

The Clintons (especially Bill) will speak any time anywhere if there is enough money or notoriety.

It is their chosen profession and it has nothing to do with what is good for the American people. It has never been about the American people.

It has to do with an emptiness these two have when they made a lifelong bargain to get what they both could out of fame and controlling others.

The Clintons are probably the most evil American politicians in this century. Look for them to subtly cut Obama’s legs and other bodily parts, so Jezebel can run in 2012.

Look for the Clintons to try to steal the nomination from Obama at the Democrat Convention.

Whether or not they are successful or not, time will tell.

But one thing is sure, they will be trying.

She has? I thought Hillary just suspended her campaign ... you know ... in case something happened to the messiah.

“Obama will be the our next president and is fully qualified under our Constitution despite the internet firestorm over his a phony birth certificate and his origins, My wife and I condemn these scurrilous rumors about this fine black man despite the right wing attacks on his eligibility and his phony birth certificate. My wife and I back Obama fully and suggest to all who haven’t seen these rumors NOT to search the internet for ‘Obama’s Birth Certicate’”

Spelling concerns should be directed to Foxnews.com as they are the ones who originated the heals for heels booboo. I suspect AD simply copied and pasted.

Has Clinton actually released her delegates? I thought she
had just “suspended” her campaign.
What is the status of the Edwards delegates?
Somebody help me here-—this democrat stuff is confusing.

I think you’re right. IIRC, she did just suspend her campaign and still her her delegates. Watch for her to use this to her advantage at the convention.
