Bill Kills

Ok, all doubting is over, the clintons are back onside, and boy am i excited.
First though i have to say loved the choice of music for clintons entrance
"dont stop thinking about tomorrow... ...yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone"
now i know it was his 1992 campaign song, but it is kinda funny in current context
not that he really needed it cause got some bad news for the elephant in the room, slick willy is back

He started off quickly, by saying 'first I am here to support Barak Obama' and from there it was as my dad put it, to the stars. Bill was the old bill, charming, gracious, the rockstar that we knew and loved back in the 90's.
On the issues he makes it clear: the US is in trouble both domestically and internationally. He manages to weave these two ideas into a convincing narrative explaining his support for Barak Obama. He spares no attempt to show that Obama's policies are superior to the republican alternative.
I loved the speech, he came out with some new nuanced pro obama arguments, not just forced regurgitation of the party line. Among other things, he talked about how the not as bad bush (clinton knows a lot about good bush) accused him of being inexperienced, and he turned out pretty damn decent. While the press had suggested that he might make this argument, his 'domination argument' was out of the blue.
The thesis of this argument is that the most damage that had been done was due to the fact that from 2000-2006 (it was actually in 2002 when the democrats lost the senate, but he states 2000) the republicans held control of the legislative and executive branch for the first time in more than 40 years. This means that this was the first time that the republicans had been allowed to push through their agenda without compromising on any level. This is the first time I have heard this argument given at such a high level to attack Republican policy, and I hope they continue it.
