Bill Clinton is the most eloquent politician we have had in recent history. He can say more with fewer simple words than anyone on the political front today. There is a reason that the Clintons are truly the "first family" of the Democratic Party, spot formerly held by the Kennedys.
#1 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:24 AM EDT"People have always been more impressed by the power of our example, then the example of our power." WOW. Best, most true to life line of the whole convention.
Well the first speech was given by someone who only recently has become proud of her country. The next women has stated over and over again that Obama is not qualified. Her husband was an impeached president who has lied under oath. And the VP nominee has demonstrated for the thrid time that no one wants him as president, has been around so long and doesn't demonstrate the 'Change' we hear about, and has also stated that Obama is not qualified and he would be proud to run with McCain. So although they were all eloquent who do you believe? I don't think their words can provide any comfort or confidence in an Obama president.
You've hit the nail on the head!!!
Bill Clinton is the consummate politician of our time, just as John Kennedy was of his. It's amazing how he can hold an entire audience in the palm of his hand. Biden was definitely good, as well. His speech came from his heart and his love of family came through loud and clear. What on earth can the Republicans possibly do to top this Obama speech tonight? NOTHING.
I just love Bill Clinton, in my lifetime he is the BEST President of the US that I have witnessed. Now we are on the road to elect a Man that I believe will follow the footsteps of the last BEST President we had and maybe will be even BETTER. ALL THE WAY OBAMA.
#2 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:27 AM EDTAlthough I wasn't a Hillary supporter, she was strong in her speech, but more importantly, she did it with a lot of class!
#3 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:30 AM EDTThey were all good. Each one had it's purpose. I think all of them achieved their objective.
#4 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:30 AM EDTHow can Clinton NOT give a great speech! I actually thought his speec would run over 15 minutes.
#5 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:41 AM EDTNo question that Bill Clinton is one of the world's most estute politicians - but Michele Obama, new to the game, wins the hearts of the people with her personal history. As Diana was the People's Princess - Obama will be the People's President!
#6 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:45 AM EDTYet again Bill Clinton proved he can gather people for the cause and deliver
#7 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:49 AM EDTJohn Kerry's speech is exactly what the People need to hear!
#8 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:56 AM EDTI think Hillary's speech was overall the best!!! She sent chills up my arms. Although I was an Hill-right, I am prepared now to vote democratically which what this country needs whether man or woman, we need a CHANGE! Second in running was my man, Bill! I don't care what anybody says about his mistakes, he CHANGE this country for the better!
#9 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:58 AM EDTThey all did such a great job in so many different ways. Bill was CLASSIC Bill. Takes you all the way around the issue and gets you to slap yourself upside the head and say "Of course your right!" Joe's and Michelle's were heartfelt and moving. Joe's had the indictment that we needed to hear of McCain and tying him to Bush. John Kerry did a great job too-Candidate McCain vs Senator McCain. Hillary's was exactly what she needed to do and it was wonderful and had some great lines-No how, now way, no McCain. But I still think Bill was the most impressive.
BTW-the Montana Governor was wonderful!
#10 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:58 AM EDTMSNBC completely BLEW IT by not carrying John Kerry's speech. Instead, the last Democratic presidential nominee, speaking in prime time was passed over for ...Rachel Maddow! That is a crime.
#11 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:01 PM EDTI agree that John Kerry should have been given more air time. But, CSPAN did carry the Kerry speech. And, it was a good speech! He did what he should have done last time, which was to put Bush (and the other ultra-conservative Republicans) in their place! He would have won, if he had!
let's face it MSNBC blew the entire campaign coverage. Very poorly done. I would expect more from this team. I normally prefer them to CNN but not the last 3 days and PLEASE will you send Pat Buchannan to Fox Noise.
The best speech by far was Hillary's and the rest came in pretty darn close! And folks complained that the Clinton's were being given too much.... they did what they had to do to unify the party! It's now up to Obama/Biden to close the deal!
#12 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:03 PM EDTI loved Bill's speech. We all knew he would hit it out of the stadium and he did what was expected and more. Hillary was fabulous. Lets not forget John Kerry though, that was the best speech I have ever seen him give. Michelle's speech was much better than anything I have seem from her before and it was the first time I ever liked her. Then we have Bo Biden, his speech was so touching I was almost crying. And Joe Biden gave a speech that felt as if he were speaking directly to me. And I loved the way chopped up McCain, I have never seen anybody do that and have a smile and nice things to say while sending the other person to the chopping block. It was most impressive.
#13 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:04 PM EDTI think they all were great. They touched us in different ways. Biden speech was very emotional and close to home. Move over Republicans, Lets go Democrat. Go Obama-Biden!!
#14 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:10 PM EDTHilary has a so much class, knowledge, power and strength. What a remarkable women. All Americans are blessed to have her here in our life time to keep fighting for equal rights. Bill Clinton gave a great speech and we should listen to his wisdom and to remember his advice when we cast our vote - to vote for Ombana the Democrate!
#15 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:15 PM EDTThe whole team came up big. Hillary nosed out Bill and Joe Biden was fantastic as was Michelle Obama. Electrifying convention for the Democratic party!
#16 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:18 PM EDTThe decision is hard on who was the best. Michelle blew me away on Monday night. I was ready to vote for HER for President. I think I probably would say Hillary was the best: "No Way, No How, No McCain." Neither Hillary or Obama were my first choice for candidates, but, I believe we have to get a Democrat back in the White House, black or white, male or female. I do like Joe Biden and believe he will give Obama what he lacks. I was and still am a staunch John Edwards supporter and I am deeply saddened by his lack of personal judgement, so, Obama, I believe is the closest to what John Edwards stands for. YES YOU CAN, BARACK OBAMA!!!
#17 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:21 PM EDTEverybody above showed, have demonstrated they are able not only to make any kind of horrible compromise; They a capable to splodge through the mud ! Homo hominy lupus !
#18 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:27 PM EDTBiden was not as smooth, but Biden truly touched the heart. Joe is just very REAL :-))
#19 - Thu Aug 28, 2008 12:30 PM EDTGot to love Joe's mom =)
