Pretty obvious (and sad) that they had to dust off Clinton to come pitch for Obama so Obama could get some votes riding on Clinton's coattails.
The Fundamentals are strong...lol

Pretty sad Republicans aren't pouring forward to support Romney.

Republicans don't like Romney.

You want a truthful chart and assessment...here ya go...

This chart pretty much speaks for itself. Nearly every single thing driving the current increase in public debt tax cuts, wars, the recession, and measures to fight the recession — was a result of Bush-era policies that were enthusiastically supported by nearly every single Republican currently hanging out in Tampa. They only got religion after a Democrat won the White House and had to clean up the mess they left behind.

Their success at convincing half the country that Barack Obama is responsible for our soaring debt is surely one of the greatest political propaganda victories of all time.

It's clear that his statement of two years before the election referred to THIS election, not the 2008 election. WHy else would the Senate leader talk about making the Pres a one term president?


As for bringing out Clinton, it just shows that the Dems are proud of their former Presidents, unlike the R's who try to hide theirs.

Clinton will tell them what they want to hear..that it was Bush and the Republicans that drove up the debt.
And they will believe it.

To me it shows that Clinton still has the luster that Obama lost over the past 4 years.
Obama did it on his own in 2008.

To para-phrase President Obama; "You didn't build that, you had help."

NO, he didn't.

President Obama was elected with the help of Millions, a core principal Republicans are fond of forgetting.

Obama was elected on empty promises. That's why he needs Clinton this go round to pacify the masses.
