Former President Bill Clinton is set to play a central part in the Democratic convention, aides said, and will formally place President Obama’s name into nomination by delivering a prime-time speech designed to present a forceful economic argument for why Mr. Obama deserves to win a second term.
The prominent role of Mr. Clinton, which is scheduled to be announced on Monday, signals an effort by the Obama campaign to pull out all the stops to rally Democrats when they gather for their party’s national convention in Charlotte, N.C. An even more important audience will be the voters across the country who will see the address carried by television networks.
“There isn’t anybody on the planet who has a greater perspective on not just the last four years, but the last two decades, than Bill Clinton,” David Axelrod, a top strategist to the Obama campaign, said in an interview on Sunday. “He can really articulate the choice that is before people.”

Bubba doing penance for urging Hilary to run
Why would he endorse this creep? Maybe because they both are creeps.
Okay, I don’t understand certain things.
So Democrats want to rally the troops and pull out all the stops for Obama’s convention.
But, we’ve heard that many Democrats are skipping the convention.
In fact, Nancy Pelosi told her members of Congress to skip the convention, that it was more important for them to spend time campaigning for their own re-election to Congress.
So which is it? Should these good Democrats go to the convention after all? Now we’re building it up, for Bill Clinton to rally the troops? But some of the troops were told to stay away, and many others announced they wouldn’t be there??? What the heck?
So what is a good Democrat to do? Go to the convention of stay away????????
“There isn’t anybody on the planet who has a greater perspective on not just the last four years, but the last two decades, than Bill Clinton,” David Axelrod, a top strategist to the Obama campaign, said in an interview on Sunday.
“Why, Bill Clinton has probably chased more skirt,
banged more interns, snorted more chinese campaign contributions, and sucked up to more communist
dictators then Barak Obama!”
America’s Greatest President.......Pants down......
Would he be doing this on Wednesday, where the NFL moved opening night (Cowboys at Giants) to in order to accommodate Barry on Thursday night? If so, who in the world will be watching?
Maybe it’s all part of the plan and he gets to endorse the Obama/Hillary ticket. Plus say he’ll be the co-vice-president.
The well known “Clinton kiss of death”. The election is now over, Romney in a landslide.
I guess Rob Lowe and Clinton will have a grand ol time at the convention this year!
Gee the Globe tabloid said a dying Clinton heartbroken he’ll never see Chelsea’s baby and he’s begging Hillary to call off the divorce. The Globe might not be the best source of news but it sure put a smile on my face!
Good point. This great politician really only had great success in getting himself elected. Wasn’t typically all that helpful to others.
The other steamy crock is that Clinton was a boon to the economy - how about his massive contribution to the financial crisis. The Community Reinvestment Act - and the creation of subprime was all his doing. He greatly reduced the lending standards after he erroneously thought they were ‘racist’. Clinton put tremendous pressure on banks, to lend subprime even if they lost money - it was the beginnings of the crisis. Bush complained about it but did not stop it.
Clinton, Cisneros, and Cuomo over at HUD were in a drunken orgy of mortgage lending. Throw in Franklin Raines at Fannie Mae and the crime family is complete. What these jokers, led by Grand Master Clinton, did to the global mortgage investment market was akin to breeding termites and air dropping them on every home. Clinton gets a complete pass on the debacle but history will not treat him so kind. There is far too much evidence.
Surely this is a joke?!
Surprised he’s not nominating the Hildabeast as VP.
I like your tag line!
Maybe because he wants his wife to be VP.
I would take Clinton over Obama any day. Never thought I would say that but man I made some big bucks in the 90’s with the stock market. Clinton was not a great president but he was better than Obama who is ruining EVERYTHING!!!
I won’t be able to stand watching it, but I will be interested in reading summaries to see if Clinton gets in some of his legendary subtle swipes at ole Bammy-boy in the speech. Bammy, not being the bright bulb his sycophants try to pretend he is, won’t “get” the swipes until well after the speech, when somebody explains it to him. That would be very amusing, and the only thing which would make the speech worthwhile. The rest will have to be brazen lies, as Clinton can hardly honestly talk about how great Bammy-boy has made the economy.
