God bless the Clintons

I had some doubts about whether giving Bill and Hillary two nights at the Democratic National Convention was a good idea, but Obama has demonstrated once again his outstanding judgment and ability to build bridges.

Bill Clinton just strongly endorsed Obama, saying that he is ready to lead the nation. And he's boldly contrasting what Bush-McCain offer and what an Obama presidency would do for the country, saying that McCain is the wrong candidate on the two key challenges we are facing: rebuilding the American dream and restoring America's leadership abroad. Clinton said that McCain embraces the "extreme philosophy" that the Republicans have espoused for the last 25 years.

Nice quote: "Yes he can but first we have to elect him!"

The convention so far is exceeding my expectations in terms of re-uniting the party, and Bill went a long way in redeeming himself with me tonight.

And given that I just saw him two weeks ago here in Vegas, I have to say that a haircut makes him look ten years younger, lol.

AND FOR THE RECORD, John Kerry might be president today if had spoken four years ago like he did tonight!
