Bill Clinton’s Speech at the Convention

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Bill Clinton addressed the Democratic National Convention tonight, on the third day of the Denver event. Former president Clinton dovetailed on the riveting speech given by his wife, New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Clinton’s speech was considered to be the best of the convention, thus far (though, I may contend that Dennis Kucinich’s speech rivals Bill Clinton’s). Whatever the case, fmr. president Clinton’s speech contained some salient quips. The most memorable was this wonderful line, which will likely be recorded in the annals of history: “People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.”

There was no doubt last night that both Bill Clinton and former opponent Hillary fully support Obama as the next president. Where the election will head from here, nobody knows. See Part 1 below:

Dennis Kucinich Speech at 2008 Dem Convention

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

The 2008 Democratic National Convention is in full swing. Last night Michelle Obama gave a riveting speech to the throngs of faithful dems in the crowd. Tonight, Dennis Kucinich set the crowd on fire with his admonition to “wake up America.”

As we await the results of the coming speeches in Denver convention, I thought I’d attach a video excerpt of Dennis Kucinich’s speech on Tuesday. To be fair, Kucinich gave one of the best political speeches I have ever heard.
