Former
President Bill Clinton delivers powerful
speech at
DNC strongly endorsing Obama for re-election
ELECTION 2012 ANALYSIS PART II
(Sept 6, 2012, Charlotte, NC) It
was Bill Clinton at his oratorical best. Perhaps the best political speaker this
country has seen in a generation, in his trademark way, accomplished more to
further his Party’s cause in just over 45 minutes than the Obama campaign has
in months. He did what only he could do;
he laid out in simple understandable terms the details of some of the most
pressing issues weighing on voters’ minds.
He did it with grace, humor, and authority; the authority he commands as
the last successful, accomplished and widely recognized as the most effective
President in decades.
While out of necessity, shame,
embarrassment and political desperation the GOP ran from their last standard
bearer, the disastrously inept former President George W. Bush, conversely, the
Democratic Party embraced and celebrated their favorite son here tonight. Bill Clinton conducted a veritable clinic in
wide scale retail politics before a national viewing audience estimated to be
upwards of 33 million citizens.
Point by point he masterfully dissembled
the incoherent tripe spewed by Romney/Ryan while assembling a cogent, logical
reasonable case for the merits of reelecting President Obama and Vice President
Biden. Clinton engaged the audience with
his easy manner and delivered a concise informative tutorial on issues ranging
from the tax code, health care reform, immigration, education, and made a
powerful argument for the ideology of developing and implementing policies
aimed towards the greater good. At the
GOP convention in Tampa virtually every speaker including imbecilic Mitt Romney
espoused the failed Republican ideology that champions the notion that the most
successful in our society should be rewarded.
This horribly misguided notion was first introduced by addled Ronald Reagan in 1980
and was simplistically yet deceptively touted as “trickle-down economics”. The
underpinning of that particular approach was that “a rising tide lifts all
boats”. Prior to being chosen by Reagan to
be his Vice Presidential running mate, George H. W. Bush had mocked Reagan’s
plan as “Voodoo economics” and it certainly proved to be a curse on the middle
class. It has become painfully obvious
that if elected Romney/Ryan intend to resurrect that very same approach to the economy at
a time it can ill afford it.
President Obama came into Office
facing more challenges than any of his modern era predecessors since Franklin
Roosevelt. The economic woes were staggering,
the financial industry was collapsing, banks were not loaning money, the
automotive industry and its many related enterprises comprising its supply
chain were about to go bankrupt, home foreclosures were epidemic, jobs were
vanishing at a head spinning rate, and that large segment of our population
loosely defined as the “middle class” found themselves under crippling
pressures. By virtually every
independent, objective non-partisan appraisal, those profound problems were the
direct result of the policies of the George W. Bush administration, just the
latest version of the only playbook the Republicans ever read.
One of the most humble,
gracious comments Bill Clinton made was when he discussed his work with “Both President
Bush’s” and his inherent “inability” to “hate” his political adversaries. Surely if any former President would be
justified in despising his adversaries and critics, especially the Republican lead sham impeachment
in 1999, it is Clinton. But he is not
constructed that way; he has far more character and integrity than his abysmal judgment
regarding his private life while in Office indicates.
His larger message was that no real governing, no actual legislating,
policy making or any of the people’s business will ever be conducted unless the
venom is extracted from the viciously partisan discourse that has come to
define the paralysis in Washington DC, in the corridors of Congress and behind
committee room doors.
President Clinton clearly
articulated the stark contrasts between President Obama’s Administration and a hypothetical
Romney Administration. Hopefully most among that huge television
audience were paying attention. We have
the most at stake in this election the outcome of which has the potential to
alter our lives in very dramatic, profoundly negative ways.
