Bloomberg just fact checked Bill Clinton's speech and found out it was true what he said. They made

[still_one]

a snarky comment how the speech was too long, but the fact is the repukes increased the debt, and created 50% less jobs than the Democrats

1. Clinton's had more facts per minute than the entire GOP Convention.

16. Good line!!!

I like that, and VERY accurate! I was feeling relief and goosebumps last night listening to Clinton tell it just like it is. Even my hubby listened, and he is not political in the least. His delivery was great (always was, imo). I was thinking last night that we are so lucky to be able to have such great speakers in our party. Nothing like the GOPers. That alone sets us apart! I'm thinking the Obamas, the Clintons, Biden, the Kennedys, Kerry, and so many more. I liked Elizabeth Warren and I liked what she said, but I didn't feel her delivery matched some of the others. To me it felt almost uncomfortably stilted or slow.

17. I think Warren appears to fall short because of the group she's presenting with ...

if she was presenting at the GOP, she'd have been one of the more interesting and dynamic speakers.

2. you won't hear that on Fox though I bet. It wouldn't play into their

blackout on the positive signs of democratic leadership

3. Sorry guys. Shit happens.

LOL!

4. K&R nt

5. If the Pugs had admitted how they screwed up so much of the economy...

Clinton's speech would have been much shorter.

He was just setting them straight.

11. GREAT point! lol! /nt

[BumRushDaShow]

6. "the speech was too long"

That's ALL they have. They are in a shambles right now and all they can do is reach back to over a decade ago to use an old tired meme about Clinton's speech length.

8. I know, their negative "dis" comments are pathetic /nt

[Avalux]

12. They're jealous.

Clinton went off script, pulled tons of FACTS out of his head and gave the speech of his life (he could have gone on longer!).

[LovingA2andMI]

15. Yep.....it's like

Bloomberg, Romney, Ryan or Fox News CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH....but Bill Clinton gave it to them anyway and better yet....President Clinton gave facts to the American people!

[lpbk2713]

7. In sharp contrast to the R&R team.

Like most rethuglicans they wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the ass.

[turtlerescue1]

13. The truth DID bite them in their arse last night.

So much for the RNC's "smoke and mirrors"!


The only adjectives for Clinton's work: SHOCK AND AWE, and the other guys will need a while to become "aware".
