Oh, my, the OP doesn't have the attention span of a ten year old and can't watch a 50 minute speech by a former president and that is somehow a statement about Bill Clinton's effectiveness at the podium? He had everyone in the audience at full attention and cheering and THAT really scares Republicans when they compare it to the lack-lust showing at the Republicans convention.

Default Dems move speech inside don't care about those who don't have seats now

They could care less about the folks who wanted to go to the speech. All they care about is making it appear like the swooners are back. Simply pathetic move by the democrats. Yeah the party that cares doesn't give a rip about all the folks they bussed in who don't have a seat now.

Hell even if your a delegate you could be out of luck. Under the bus goes everybody. I'm sure all his big campaign bundlers will be taken care of though.

"The stadium seats about 65,000, the arena about 15,000. That leaves 50,000 people who thought they were going to see the president without a seat, including several delegates.
“We don’t have a lot of answers right now,” Sanders says. “Our hope right now is that we can get all of our delegates in … right now we don’t know. We’ll probably find out somewhere in the neighborhood of about 4 o’clock in the morning when we go pick up our passes.”

I didn't make a claim...

Bill Clinton did, and absolutely crushed the GOP's record on job creation and their philosophy in the process.
And yet you cant explain to me how those very people responsible for creating so many jobs, could allow unemployment levels to exceed over 10% just 2 years ago..

And you think others are funny... haha

Thumbs up Emanuel Cleaver'S DNC Speech

I think he gave a very good speech. He gave them the "FULL CLEAVER"



Emanuel Cleaver DNC speech (text, video) - POLITICO.com

Tonight, I cannot speak to you without acknowledging that the bickering and brinksmanship we see too often in our politics is advantaging no party, but weakening our nation. We can be fervent in our disagreements without being factitious with our beliefs.

Congress is unable to do the work of the American people because too many politicians believe that compromise means capitulation. This must change, because just as bees cannot sting and make honey at the same time, members of Congress cannot simultaneously make passionate enemies and expect political progress.

Jesus's disciples went out to fish .The republicans want to give the people a fishing pole to catch their own fish. The dems don't want to fish , they would rather have the government give them a fish and don't care that someone else did the fishing for them.

The republicans are for creating jobs.. Obama and his ideology makes him a job killer.

Bill Clinton:
Well, since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private sector jobs.

So what's the job score?

Republicans: twenty-four million. Democrats: forty-two.

Now, there's -- there's a reason for this. It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics.
Why? Because poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.

Ouch!

Default Fact Check. Clinton was RIGHT

Idiotic, hapless Republicans run from fact check, and we all know why. Facts don't work in their favor.

Bill Clinton's "jobs score" from his DNC speech fact-checked.

Frankly, is there any segment of this society more pathetic than the Republicans? Their very existence is a severe detriment to the country, they represent bigotry and regression, they want to undo the 20th century. The different between what Clinton represents and the stench that Republicans represent has been made clear this week.

Bill Clinton, a devastating blow to that goon Romney's chances. President Obama is just too superior.

The tickets, from day one, were contingent on the weather. Those holding the 'stand-by- tickets knew that the weather could keep them from going.

Did I miss Eva Longorio? Oh gosh, I hope I didn't miss Gabby!
LOL. You don't have much, do you?

I'd love one of those Sluts Vote buttons, thanks for bringing them to our attention. You're really good at that, cheers.
