Charles Krauthammer reacts to former President Bill Clinton's address to the 2012 Democratic National Convention: "I think it was a giant swing ask a miss. Mighty Casey and Bill Clinton is a natural, he struck out on this. I don't think it would move a needle whatsoever. Look, it had all the classic Clinton elements; it was engaging, it was humorous. In some cases, it was generous and there are more mentions of the Bushes than I heard in three days in Tampa, but on the other hand it was also vintage Clinton. In that it was sprawling, undisciplined and truly self-indulgent. This is one of the strangest nomination speeches I think ever given; it was kind of an amalgam between a State of the Union address, a policy seminar and what sounded to me like a campaign speech for a third Clinton term."

That will be the test.
If they want Hilary to be president in 2016 knocking off Romney is 2012 is the way to accomplish it IMHO
I’m willing to bet Fluke would enjoy the astroturf in the former President’s El Camino.
I was waiting for someone to get the'hook' & get him off the stage already!!
yep..ita
Considering how much zero and Bubba dislike each other, I REALLY have to wonder what zero traded to get Clinton to give the nominating speech? Is Panetta out at the Pentagon if zero is re-elected? Maybe Axelrod? Plouffe?
And, given how much oxygen Bubba sucks out of every room he is in, I find it particularly amusing that Bubba eclised San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro. I live close to San Antonio and have been bored to death at the spin the local media are putting on him. IMO, he fell flat in a DNC convention that is becoming a bigger train wreck than the ‘67 convention!
It couldn’t happen to a more disingenuous and deserving group of people!
No.....Bill Clinton set the stage for he and his wife, Hillary, to take complete leadership control of the entire devastated, Democrat Party, come November 6, 2012. Bill and Hillary Clinton will own & control every move the Democrat Party makes. Charles Krauthammer is right on!!! Bill Clinton hates Barack Hussein Obama. Payback time, Barack & Michelle. The gentle twist of the Clinton political, defeat knife in the ribs to the whole Obamabot ilk.
This epic Democrat National Convention Freak Show Failure in Charlotte, North Carolina is ten times worse then even I could have imagined. Hate God Almighty, Hate Israel, Abuse & Kill unborn children, destroy our economy, our business, our education, insane indebt levels, freedom, liberty, opportunity & the pursuit of happiness. A true Obama Nazi, Socialist, Communism, Facist displayand progress at work. The United States of America has no executive, POTUS leadership, just a gang of destroy America thugs from Chicago, headed by the number one Hate America advocate, Barack Hussein Obama and his”dirt bag: Democrat Party!!!
One aspect of the Clinton years I most despised at the time was his flip flopping to whatever was popular with the American people and making it his own.
For example, take Welfare Reform after the Republicans took Congress. Clinton assimilated this and signed it into law. No Republican could ever get a pass like he did signing this bill but he did a 180 and signed a good deal of what the repub majority got elected to do. And took credit for it as his idea!
Now that I think of it after watching today’s Commie Marxists completely ignore public opinion, this wasn’t such a bad trait. At least he did what the American people anted. For self serving reasons most likely.
It’s fun watching those two together. Each knows the other can’t be trusted. Yet they’re forced to put on a show. And all the while Hillary is watching from the position of peeking over the top of Huma’s butt and thinking “God, I hate both of these bastards. Huma, you will be my underboss when I take over. Er, I mean Veep. Then we’ll sent these little boys to the graveyard.”
“Oh, Hillary, can Anthony get an appointment?”
“Sure, he can clean up after you and me.”
I believe the Clintons want obama gone. But they have to very careful and pretend they don’t. So they give lip service if they can pull the media’s lips off obama’s ass. What I don’t believe Clinton will do is help raise money. And I beleive he set himself up to be interviewed again and he will once again praise Romney’s business success. The Clinton’s are slick theives. They’ll win in the end.
I think his speech worked.
He lies so masterfully.
He uses his tongue prettier than a twenty-dollar whore.
It’s interesting that Hillary isn’t even at this convention. In fact, you rarely see the Clintons together anywhere. Do they think we think that they have this wonderful power couple marriage?????
He certainly seemed to be enjoying himself.
Just like the old days ....
this speech will not move the needle enough for the brown clown.
There, fixed it.
As well as both of their wives.
So how did we go from clinton saying “He should be carrying our bags’ to ‘obama is the best thing since sliced bread’?
The sad part is that many people are goign to fall for clinton’s BS just like they did for 8 years years ago-
There are exactly two months left.. just wait and watch.
Sounds like "son of Henry Cisneros". How did that work out for them?
