Key role for Bill Clinton at Democratic convention

[Shadow]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
President Bill Clinton will have a marquee role in this summer's Democratic
National Convention, where he will make a forceful case for President Barack
Obama's re-election and his economic vision for the country, several
Obama campaign and Democratic party officials said Sunday.

The move gives the Obama campaign an
opportunity to take advantage of the former president's immense popularity and
remind voters that a Democrat was in the White House the last time the American
economy was thriving.

Obama personally asked Clinton to speak at
the convention and place Obama's name in nomination, and Clinton
enthusiastically accepted, officials said. Clinton speaks regularly to Obama and to campaign
officials about strategy.

Not quite but still likely a positive.

Maybe not...but when your only two choices are Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. The choice seems obvious anyway lol

God knows there is nothing in the last three and half years Obama can point to, may as well take the nostalgia route...

Nothing like whoring out the last Democrat President to distract from your own shortcomings...

How about a cardboard cut-out of LBJ ?

If only he would fill those shoes... "I will not seek, and I will not accept..."
