Bill Clinton just showed why is one of the most gifted politicians in history!

Once again, just AMAZING. Bill BLASTED it out of the park ONCE AGAIN. The guy is MASTERFUL. Clear. Crisp. So convincingly explanatory. So POWERFUL. So ROUSING. Such perfect diction and FRAMING of his points and the issues. FEW in all history do it as well. He is right up there easily with FDR, Give em Hell Harry, and JFK. Just AWESOME.

I'm not really a fan of the Clinton's, but you have to give credit where credit is due. The guy is great politician and extremely gifted at crushing rethugs!!!

Stood in line in Little Rock at his Presidential Library when he did a book signing for his book. I had driven from Memphis - purchased the book on cd and listened to it on the way and stood in line outside in the rain for 2 hours. President Clinton has an energy, an aura about him that you can actually feel; he fills the room. When he met each person he connected with them. When he shook my hand he looked me in the eyes (I melted, but held it together...) and was excited because I was the only one who had brought the book on cd.

I'll never forget it!

Shine on,
Annette
