because of his convention speech?
I'm hearing this and have to say, what?
Are people who say this meaning that Bill got more Democrats to vote for Obama (otherwise they would have gone for Romney) or that Bill convinced some Republicans, Independents and Baggers to vote Obama because I am sure so many of them were tuned into the Democratic Convention that night and converted because of Charming Bill.
I find that really insulting to all the good people that worked hard to get Obama re-elected and Bill just waltzes on stage and takes the credit, according to some.
And most of all I find it very insulting to the President, who has earned his way and doesn't owe the Clintons one damn thing.
The undercurrent of this has a smell to it that we should all recognize.
