Democratic Convention, Day 2

If you missed tonight's prime time, there is no way I can fill you in.

It was Bill Clinton night.  Do I need to say more?

Bill was preceded by Sandra Fluk, the young woman who spoke out on women's health and was attacked by the right.  Of President Obama,  she said when he heard of a young woman being attacked for speaking out, he thought of his daughters, not his delegates or his donors.

Jim Sinegal. CEO of Costco, said job creation requires businesses that plant and grow, not executives who reap and run.

Elizabeth Warren, who created the Consumer Protection Agency to hold Wall Street responsible, and is now running for the senate, was great.  I love that woman.

But Bill!  He demolished the complete Republican campaign, pointing out fact after fact that proved their claims false.  He delineated the accomplishments of Obama's first four years.  He underscored that NO ONE could have fixed the mess that was left by Bush II in four years.  He said it's as if the Republicans are saying, "We left him a total mess.  He didn't clean it up fast enough. So put us back in."

I can't begin to cover what Bill Clinton said, because he addressed everything.  He went way long, and yet we hung on his every word.  

If you didn't hear this speech, try to read the script, which should be on line, even though Bill of course left the script frequently.  Some of those side trips were the best parts.  

Bubba is still bigger than life, still smarter than anyone, and still the master of politics.
