All Good, for Now, as Bill Delivers a Classic Speech for Obama
DENVER—You'd really have to strain to see any trace of Bill Clinton's residual primary-season resentments in his ecstatically received convention speech about Barack Obama. For 20 minutes, the former president spoke and, but for a few references to his wife's primary campaign at the very beginning, used his time to talk up Obama and to take on John McCain and the G.O.P.
In particular, Clinton vouched for Obama's national security credentials - his prime vulnerability, the G.O.P.'s eyes - arguing that Obama will work for diplomacy but that "when he cannot convert adversaries into partners, he will stand up to them."
Perhaps more effectively than any other speaker at this convention, Clinton also went after McCain, prefacing his critiques with praise for McCain's heroism and his willingness to stand up to his party on several high-profile issues. But, Clinton, continued, on the two most important issues of the 2008 election - the domestic economy and America's standing around the world - "he still embraces the extreme philosophy that has defined his party for more than 25 years."
Most importantly, Clinton even reminded the crowd that the same attacks now being leveled by the G.O.P. against Obama for his supposed inexperience were used against Clinton himself in the 1992 campaign. Ironically, Obama's supporters made this same observation back in the primary season, when Bill Clinton seemed to question Obama's experience and preparation for the presidency.
"It didn't work in 1992 because we were on the right side of history," Clinton told the convention, "and it will not work in 2008 because Barack Obama is on the right side of history."
Clinton also singled out Joe Biden for praise at several points, a sign that the selection of the Delawarean - who forged a close and productive personal and professional relationship with both Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990s - has made it easier for the Clintons to fully embrace their party's fall ticket.
Of course, there's an old line, uttered by Democratic congressman David Obey, about Bill Clinton: If you don't like where he stands, just wait ten minutes. His speech was powerful tonight - both in his words and, more importantly, his delivery. But it was also smart politics. It will be a lot tougher now for his critics to suggest that he's somehow trying to sabotage Obama so that Hillary can run again in 2012. But the real test will come a month or two from now when a reporter thrusts a microphone in his face and asks him about Obama and this year's primary season. If the past few months are any indication, he might not be able to help himself.
Bill was "WONDERFUL" he told them that the "APPEASEMENT KID" and his "WITHDRAWAL VP" are what is needed in this time of Terrorism, and the awakening of the "RUSSIAN BEAR"
Yes folks Bill says this is the "TICKET" for America, he also said he did not have sex with that women. But he did.

ps.While the “APPEASEMENT CONVENTION” was
singing “ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE”
The Terrorists are singing "ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE BOMBS A CHANCE, and the Russian are singing "WE ARE BACK"
When anyone on the right can clearly define what they mean by appeasement, I'd be ready to listen but at this pointnone of them what it means. They just like the sound of it. Just like they loved the sound of "stay the course," which in nautical speech means stop right now. Since GW bush was the user and he never did read any real books he never knew the difference between stay the course and stay on course so he was his usual puppet and kept repeating the phrase until he told a reporter that the past 500 iterations of it had no meaning because it was never about staying the course.
How often do conservatives get a pass when they screw up? In this country being a GOPer is a trump card. No screw up is bad enough to mean anything if you are a Republican.
Only Progressives and liberals are evil and to blame if there is a screw up, Republicans just happen to be mildly retarded and consistently incompetent and need to be infinitely forgiven their trespasses and screw ups.
The Clintons have indeed Redeemed themselves and have united the Democratic party. However, Media wants you to think that Dems Convention was a bust (no red meat - vegatables are so much more healthier to the system, however) But, what the Dems did accomplish and which is stronger than all the red meat/anger in the world is UNITY/Love, because a house divided cannot stand! Watch out and be on Guard for those who want to Divide because make no mistake about it a united group is Powerful, Strong, Unstoppable. Now they want to belittle and divide us by unmeaningful and trivial talks of pillars and temple, some seem even Obsessed by it. They are like rude and jealous children who make fun of a beautiful or gifted person -- making fun of their clothes because they are not satisfied within themselves, all the while secretly wishing they looked like that or had that gift. People of Change, People of the future, be on guard!
For those who want accurate news analysis, do yourself a favor and “watch C-SPAN for convention coverage and get yourself psychically cleared. Stop watching cable news channels. The MSM is desperately working to program us morning noon and night. And creating despair amongst those who are openly hopeful about 2008 politics is very easy. Just bust the bubble that gives you room to believe that change can happen and the rest falls away. Including your own sense of self-empowerment. Believe it.”
