The Prez

I'm talking about President Clinton.
I will give you my overall impressions of the DNC later in the week but right now I am buzzing over the speech the amazing Bill Clinton gave last night.
I am on my knees, my face squinched up in a grimace of fervent prayer, hoping with every fiber of my being that every undecided voter in this land of contradiction saw him speak last night.
Because he laid it all out in black and white. Made it easy to understand. Spoke the truth backed up with innumerable facts daring anyone to accuse him of lying. I'm sure the fact checkers are going to town today and I'm sure they will verify Bill Clinton's words.
 And he did it professionally. He did it with a wink and a nod.
Let me put this in perspective. I stopped watching the first game of the NFL season to listen to Bill Clinton speak. I missed the fourth quarter and did not know how the game ended.
And I did not regret it.
There is so much to talk about my tiny brain cannot handle it all. My favorite topic was when he introduced hate into the equation.
You rarely hear this kind of talk because it is raw truth. You hear it behind the words of republicans but not openly because they don't have the guts to be honest.
Clinton said he has had many disagreements with republicans over the years but he has never learned to hate them. He said he "never hated republicans the way some of them hate our President now."
Raw honest truth. I defy republicans to deny it. Of course you would have to give them truth serum first.
Clinton ripped apart the hypocrisy and lies in Ryan's convention speech.
"We simply cannot afford to give the reigns of government to someone who will double down on trickle down economics." What a quote.
He summarized the republican campaign simply: "We left (Obama) a total mess, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in."
Clinton said changes he made during his own first term did not achieve wide spread results immediately and Americans did not feel it. Did not feel the improvements. By the second term everything clicked and the economy was booming and a surplus was created. People could feel improvement, feel better about themselves and their lives and their security.
Precisely the situation President Obama is in now.
He said no  previous president, none of them, could have fixed all the problems in four years that President Obama inherited.
He specifically laid out how republicans plans for Medicare and Medicaid will hurt the elderly and the sick and how President Obama has extended the life of Medicare and  improved the program with his policies.
I am not going to get bogged down in detail. President Clinton went right down the list of republican accusations, policies and lies and exposed them for what they are. A desperate attempt to defeat President Obama, and a complete disregard for the welfare of the middle class, the poor, students and the elderly. A complete disregard for the welfare of this country.
He did it all with a smile. No vindictiveness, no anger, no mindless partisanship.
It was one of the best speeches I have ever heard because it was emotional and it was filled with facts, with the truth, with realities republicans cannot dispute without continuing to lie to the American voting public.
He exposed republicans as fools, fools with no conscience and no love of this country or its citizens, and he did it with amazing grace and dignity and humor.
He made Presdient Obama's case better than he has done himself.
It occurred to me that if you could rule this country with a team made up of Condaleeza Rice, Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama, and without mindless republican opposition, this country would once again lead the world as Number 1 in EVERYTHING in a very short time.
I am begging you. If you are an undecided voter, check out Bill Clinton's speech. You will forget you ever even considered voting republican, you will be embarrassed to admit you ever considered it.
If you are an intelligent, sensitive human being, check out the speech for the sheer beauty of it. The honesty. The rawness, grace and dignity.
The man spoke the truth. Plainly and with power. The truth you need to make the right decision in November.
