How Clinton plans to upstage Obama at the DNC

How Clinton plans to upstage Obama at the DNC. Bill Clinton will give the prime time speech nominating Obama for a 2nd term: “If I were the president,” one of these insiders told me, “I’d wake up at night in a cold sweat wondering what surprises Clinton is going to come up with.” Expect to see “damning with faint praise” raised to an art form.

  • What really surprises me is the commercial Clinton did for Obama.
    He managed to sit there for 30 seconds and with a straight face say how Obama has a plan that will fix the economy and medicare, while Romney will only make things worse.
    Does he even believe the crap that he says, or is he just paid off to say it?

    • Probably just paid. And of course, one wonders how many takes wer ecobbled together to get that image of calm and seriousness.

  • barry will get what he deserves for inviting the publicity whore Bill Clinton to make the speech. A back handed complements is about what anyone who tunes in to hear the "praises" will get

  • As I recall, good ol Bill Clinton was as much of a windbag as n0bama ever dreamed of being. Good ol Bill never uttered the truth when his lips were moving either. n0bama better hope that Bill does not start passing out cigars to all the ladies as he is walking to the podium. Man, talk about a Hurricane - Bill Clinton AND n0bama 2012 breathing in the same venue.

  • I was wondering if Clinton would have to submit a draft because if he doesn't, look for any number of subtle jabs at Obama. Those jabs might consist of him saying a number of nice things about Romney before going after him a bit. It is said that Clinton still seethes over Obama, through his surrogates, playing the race card on him 4 years ago.

    • And provide a bumper crop of tobacco this year.
      Too bad the convention wasn't eld in the mid-west, it might have saved the corn crop!

  • Probably will be the highlight of the whole convention if only because Clinton refuses to submit a draft to the campaign. He's a loose cannon.
