Bill Clinton at the 2008 Democratic National Convention

[durstin8er]

he is way better then a president who calla america emerica

[matt2fresh84]

watching the dem convention compared to the gop convention was like a rockstar/rap concert to an old country western concert lol

[jazzyhun]

After almost 11 years, he's still america's favorite president.

[pupRu33]

greatest president since JFK. long live clinton!! get him to get us out of the mess bush left us in!!

[Dan97LHS]

Mr. Clinton is and was a great leader. Love him and hope he continues to work hard for all of us.

[jamel11234]

Is the man even reading from a teleprompter?? My goodness

[yadig2012]

so much joy !

[Appstateblack]

Thank you thank you thank you......(hour later) thank you. lol. oh Bill

[StillxDRE]

first 10 seconds...biggest joke in politics

[starwarsworld]

@StillxDRE Okay then, who is one of the greatest presidents of the United States?

[StillxDRE]

@starwarsworld Bush jr.

[starwarsworld]

@StillxDRE oh yeah, yeah I forgot about him, he was pretty good. NOT, go fuck yourself

[StillxDRE]

@starwarsworld prove it

[starwarsworld]

@StillxDRE prove what? That America does not seem to hold the same authority in the world, the same status in the world that it used to hold? We all know that. It's obvious. This president has got the country of America in its largest financial deficit in the 200 years of its history. There's nothing to prove, we see it everyday

[StillxDRE]

@starwarsworld wasnt the president that did it...it was the other republicans in congreesss

[sapher2020]

People like him and his wife think we are all sheep!!! BAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

[ir10031981]

Mark Levin says "Clinton Happens", yes, once in a blue moon, we get a democrat who can do something amazing, such as run a country.

[ir10031981]

Bill Clinton is GOD! even the republicans have to admit it, I worship him. Lewinsky scandal aside, he is a fiscal conservative.

[Claronium780]

He's a damn good speaker!

[sapher2020]

Clinton: You have to vote democrat. Why? Clinton: because you just have too!!! Fuck you Bill, stop telling people who to vote for, let them make up their own minds you stupid honky!!!

[Claronium780]

@sapher2020 FU  Clinton rocks ! A much better President than Bush sr, W, Nixon, Ford, or even Reagan ! btw even if he had not spoken @ the Convention the DEMS still would have won BIG in 08 you hick !

[Claronium780]

@sapher2020 jealous much?

[ir10031981]

@sapher2020 hey, hold on now, Clinton is the reason I vote democrat, lets give the man praise

[guekman]

Are we there yet?

[SgtSmiley78]

i wish we had a president with some fucking balls.....clinton was a piece of crap thats why a law suit was filed against him!!! HES AN IDOIT

[Claronium780]

@SgtSmiley78 He's a Rhodes Scholar - you're a typical nasty idiotic sophomoric narrow-minded Conservative ! People like you just attack accomplished liberals like Bill Clinton personally because on the issues and with FACTS you stand no chance of having a decent argument against them !

[ir10031981]

@SgtSmiley78 what? how dare you! now get bent and worship Clinton,

[SgtSmiley78]

"I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman", wat a douche

[starwarsworld]

@SgtSmiley78 who the fuck cares about his PERSONAL life. He was the greatest president we've had since like FDR. Kennedy doesn't count, sadly, because he was assassinated.

[jpl7777]

@starwarsworld Yeah I love Bill too but you have to say Truman's presidency was undoubtedly more important (National Security Act of 1947, began containment of Soviet communism with proxy war in Greece, set the ground work for continuation of liberal consensus, etc.). Also, Reagan, for being so aloof and giving a lot of dumb and morally questionable people the keys to the castle, did a lot to restore American confidence, which is extremely important. JFK was cut too short, but he was on his way.

[StillxDRE]

so Clinton hears that Osama was captured in Africa in 1998 after the Embassy bombings and was asked on the phone if he wanted to do anything with Osama. Clinton said NO!...Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were horrible and devestating to the housing markets..HMMM..not a good president

[SuzumiyaHaruhi0]

GOD BLESS YOU

[hetursopi3]

America is not wat its cracked up to be!!! im heading back to korea, democratic party also is a joke in itself

[devingable]

which korea north or south

[cajayson8301]

Monica or not, Bill was one damn great President. I got to fly to Europe in 1999 and had no worries of the plane being hijacked. Now, there is still that fear and it is high.

[AngeFIN]

Maybe a bad husband, but the greatest President of modern era, by far.

[TheEvolvedMind]

Indeed.

[daward2]

Add to the collection of great quotes from American Statesmen: People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

[ottvalley]

The man has flaws in his character,but a better speaker there is none

[gransul67]

On the night of Bill Clinton's speech I thought that is was a good speech but every time I listen to it, it is an EXCELLENT speech! The truth of it and the reality of it, is very profound. Bill and Hillary did good by Senator Obama at the Democratic Convention. I am sure that the Senator appreciated it very much. I am so happy that Hillary and The President working working together and they are both doing an excellent job. OBAMA 2012!!!

[Axl207]

we will once and for all stamp out the cancer of racism and bigotry that is the republican party and cleanse society of those who stand in the way of our movement of change

[hokiefan627]

You sound like you belong to a cult or something....

[aicnalib]

One of the very most talented politicians in American history. As good as JFK and RFK.  Tops. Just tops !

[lmikepowers1]

Who is the young man that introduces President Clinton? and does any one have a copy of the introduction video?

[chancetate]

his name is kendrick meek he is a florida congressman

[lightbulb369]

I can't believe he is actually 62. He is still super energetic.

[grapesofwraith1066]

-_- haha, your last sentence souds like the start of a bad joke.

Loved the beginning though, can't go wrong with Clinton, Fleetwood Mac, and a HUGE democratic audience!!

[speakerman1818]

I wish I had as much friggin charisma as Bill Clinton, he's got more charisma than anyone I've ever seen. It's almost as if woman almost faint when they meet him. Lucky SOB, lol

[y00t00bj0n]

Barack Obama has enormous shoes to fill.

[Erech01]

If he can get things back on track like they were after bill blinton left office and before the 2000 election he will be mentioned along side bill clinton and JFK.

My biggest concern is if say Joe Biden runs for president and looses against a republican, it will probably be W Bush al over again.

I personally would like to see Al Gore run again.

[keithellington]

ugly guy out to get girls

[lmikepowers1]

Who is introducing Bill Clinton and where can I get the prelude and introduction portion of this video?

[lmikepowers1]

I very much want the introduction to this video that speaks of the accomplishments of Bill Clinton as President during his terms. Please let me know where to get entire video and the name of the person introducing BILL CLINTON.

[KevinJH02]

One of Bill Clinton's really good friend Congressman Kendrick Meek of Florida

[newstluke]

clinton is MASTERFUL...enough said

[paradise1234]

a gd speech!

[VoteGore]

DNC needs to show Bill Clinton more respect. He is the man.

[isaac5292]

so lovely!

i need a man to sex me up tonight hehe. 96

[jghdksj123]

I support Senator McCain and have since the primaries...I like Bill, but he has been tremendously classless to the Obama's and it is sad that I just do not see him the same as I did before.

[samworldorder]

I like how it took Bill over two minutes to silence the crowd. Man he was an awesome president.

[rawdawg15]

I wish he could run again

[johnny78676]

I so agree with that

[OmegaMarine]

So do I, but its a shame he can't

[whyputaname]

I watched the video of Cindy McCain and quite impressive.

I had to ask myself....what does Michelle Obama do besides complain about how mean this country is?

But Bill I still love ya!

[BigPostal]

Bill hates you and your politics.

[whyputaname]

Oh to bad, ya know he was the best!! But this is a democracy and in a democracy you have a choice. And well I am not choosing a democrat this year, maybe in the future when the Dems can get their act together. Like with Bill Clinton. What is funny is the RNC had somewhat of the same problem, but they cleared theirs up before the primaries got started and gave Florida half of the Vote, so as to not punish the candidates and the voters.

[BigPostal]

whats your point?

[Jadedbylife]

I wish Bill was the nominee not Obama..SIGH!

[jaredf921]

so funny comparing this to his 2004 Convention Speech... he's so listless, lifeless and bored here, clearly not impressed with this year's democratic nominee

[BigPostal]

PRESIDENT OBAMA GET USED TO IT HATERS.

[republicansrule]

By Kimberly Kindy and Joe Stephens

Washington Post Staff Writers

Sunday, August 24, 2008; Page A09

A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.

What? and Sarah Palins daughter is going to have a baby? OMG!!!! You have got to be kidding this is best you Dems can come up with? What a JOKE!!!

[UNiQUELYsoBEAUTiFUL]

How is that a joke??!!! She is pregnant!

[themattinator5000]

he legit spent 2 minutes trying to calm the crowd down jeez let the man speak

[wyliesnyder]

By far the best video of this on u-tube!

[UNiQUELYsoBEAUTiFUL]

How old are you 15?? You sound so IGNORANT!

[whyputaname]

I don't know how old are you? Because you sound like an idiot!!

[pubuman]

Why on earth does he remind me of Michael Schumacher... random.. anyways great president ..

[olachi729]

Democratic Nominated Presidential Candidate Barrack Obama is a blessing to all Americans.. The Republicans have almost destroyed our country and have succeeded in destroying some of the lives of our fellow Americans.. it is time FOR A CHANGE!

[Ir1s1]

lol, the subtitles suckxD

[whyputaname]

President Clinton thankyou for those eight years that you gave us.

I only wish that you could be president again.

I don't trust Obama, I wouldn't even trust him with my wallet.

[olachi729]

I too love our former President Clinton, but unfortunately for us he is not able by law to run again for President of the United States of America.. I am somewhat saddened by your comments on a fellow American, Democratic President Nominated Candidate Senator Barrack Obama.. how can you not trust him, he has done nothing to warrant your attitude... if anything you should be please for a chance to have values and compassion put back in America. The Clintons believe in Barrack Obama and so do I..

[whyputaname]

To try to make it short. The only reason the Clintons endorsed him is because of party lines. They don't believe in him.

"Obama put values and compassion back in America"...now that is a very shallow statement and laughable. They only people that can put that back is us, not the politician. "How can you not trust him, he has done nothing to warrant your attitude" He has done nothing to prove it either! As far as I am concerned he is just pandering to the masses!

[MMK13]

...I did not have sexual relations...

Ohh yeah, Mr Clinton was COMPLETELY trustworthy

[mattgreen007]

What a man.

Bill Clinton is still one of my favorite public speakers, and his endorsement of Obama should make all Americans sit up and take notice.

Please America, return someone with not only heart but also brains back to the White House!

[garyblewis07]

History in the making.

[STPfuzzDemon]

Obama does not make the case that McCain will be like Bush. McCain voted against the tax cuts until Bush stopped spending like a drunken sailor--THEN he voted for them. McCain suggested the 'Surge' from the get-go and years later, Bush finally agreed. Mitt Romney knows ten times more about how to improve our economy than Obama or Biden, but who knows if McCain will even choose 'em for VP?

[calloutinchains]

Thank you, Mr. Clinton!!!!

Let's elect OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!!

Not only the US, but other countries are weakened by Bush. I travel frequently. I find to pay the Iraq War debt, Bush is borrowing money from countries such as Japan and even Mexico. Taxes are raised there to lend Bush money for war. Low income families are hurting. Let's re-build our reputation in the world.

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!

[STPfuzzDemon]

Funny how Obama waited til the night of his acceptance speech to finally give Bill Clinton (and his own grandmother, for that matter) a little credit...

[elcapone2007]

becos he wasnt meant to take d spotlight off all other speakers, until his time to speak!!

[princessnell43]

Thank you for posting the closed captioned version!!! I am deaf and DEEPLY appreciate this! I am thrilled and PUMPED about our next President, President Obama!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!

[yokoisloco]

I thought this speech was suppose to be about Barack and not about Hilary.

[STPfuzzDemon]

It would have been, but nobody knows anything about Barack Obama...

[Jutubi00]

But we know everything about McCain, reason enough, not to vote for the Republican Party;-)

[Ir1s1]

Furthermore, no one knows anything about Mccain's VP- but we do know she has NO experience in foreign affairs...:D

[MMK13]

Like the Dems POTUS nominee

[ahmed302420]

What a welcome

[docjones77]

The subtitles are hilarious at times. See 7:26ff for "you have bug spike in the cost of food"

Thank god he spoke freely :-D

[Dan97LHS]

I miss this man as president. He gave one hell of a speech and I can't wait to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden in there. God Bless Obama/Biden.

[viveknigam]

Bill Clinton - a synonym for Class, Grace and charm

[whitecollarcriminal]

Its a Brilliant Speech that only...ONLY...Bill Clinton could have delivered.

Noone pays attention to little fish like Ron Paul and Kucinich. BILL CLINTON, like him or hate him is extremely influencial if you are willing to listen.

Bill clinton put more into this speech than even Hillary did hers.

I bet if Bill was running right now, he'd win it again.

[secularlife4me]

"I want a fukin democrat to answer why working hard and making a decent living without the help of the govt is a bad thing."

Okay asshole, have you tried living in Mexico? They have very little government and you would hate it. The roads are messed up, cops never show up, mail take 2 weeks, internet is spotty, water needs purifying, and there is a pollution, crime and garbage problem and no middle class. You just don't know any better so you drink the kool aid that tells you government is bad.

[mojojo1122]

Hey abcpach, if a female wants to go thru abortion, then who r u or me or da govt to tell her no?? it should b an individual choice, not wut our govt wants! da republicans mite b agenst it, but all their other policies r gona take america straight to hell!

[abcpach]

this female should close her legs before getting unwanted pregnacy. There is like a million ways to avoid pregnacy.

[r8ven]

again not the point. i have never been nor never will be pregnant. i am educated, but not everyone is a blessed as i am, apparently including yourself. and i suppose you also look down on me for not having any children. again, your beliefs do not make you better than anyone else. and i respect your beliefs. you don't respect anyone else's beliefs but your own so you perpetuate inequality. since i'll assume you're christian, do not judge others less you be judged. it is not your right.

[abcpach]

ALMOST everything about the democrats I do like but I can't take their standing in abortion rights, and that is the only reason I would'nt vote for them. Abortion is NOT acceptable under any any any circumstances.

[mralex2k1]

Thats pretty bad that you wouldnt vote Democrat for that one single reason, the GOP has screwed up this country so much in the last 8 years, high fuel costs, high health care, and a war we're in that we really shouldnt be, thats costing american and allies lives every day, something like abortion is something I would let slide to avoid McCain or an independent get into office

[r8ven]

for you. i get so tired of everyone else's rights being squandered because of what "you" believe. how is it that my beliefs count for nothing? you are NOT holier than thou.

[r8ven]

that was in response to abcpach and what he/she thinks is not a question of abortion.

[abcpach]

I don't think that is for every individual to decide wether is right or not. In abortion like in any other case, it is about deffending the life of some innocent person who can't deffend him or herself. In this case, your set of beliefs are getting in the way of mine, too.

[heyazzhole]

I want a fukin democrat to answer why working hard and making a decent living without the help of the govt is a bad thing.

[frenklin]

Because helping people is a sign of civilization.

[mctesq]

then vote libertarian dumb ass

[mctesq]

He can still electrify a crowd. Amazing.

[heyazzhole]

Hitler could electfry a crowd to ,, what is your point azzhole

[whyputaname]

Well at least Hitler does better than Bush Jr.....huh LOL!!!!

[BinkLullie777]

Over 3 minutes of applause before he could get started. Doesn't that say it all?

[whyputaname]

Yep....a lot more than what Obama got!!!

[mmriver29]

Inspirational!!  Masterfully beautiful!

[CrunkChipmunk]

Bill knows how to cut a promo. That fact has been long established but Obama is going to have to top all the great promos that have come so far from Michelle, Hilary and Bill. No small feat. He's gonna have to bring it on the last night of the DNC like The Rock used to bring it so often long ago in WWE.

[bobbydibobby]

I think Bill invented CHARISMA.

His voice is hypnotizing..

[nbayiha]

OMG This was a Tremendously Great Speech .

I am glad this man was Once a US president.

And glad Barack Obama is going to be the next one.

GOS Bless All good people around the world.

[whyputaname]

Yep the sky is going to open up and the celestrial angels are going to come down and the will open....and the world will be a better place....right....NOT!!!

[lmikepowers]

How and where can I get the introduction to this video of President Bill Clintons Speech?

[mcallion]

That was a tremendous speech. Bill brought it!!!

[appolo08]

Bill Clinton is a pro

[mrdude999]

God, what a beast.

[lmikepowers]

Why? Because he's not a pedifile, a war monger, a thief or a murderer?

[mrdude999]

I said beast, meaning he was impeccable. He is one brilliant, orating sum'bitch.

[FlyingFishinSeatown]

I didn't know how I'd react to Bill. I was cautiously optimistic. He nailed it too! Wow. He is a master.

[GODhui]

I wish I could speak like him!!

[csuebman]

Wow, I am always impressed by Bill God Bless him

I'll vote for McCain this November, but will be confident that either one will lead America well

About McCain, Bill said, "Thanks, but not thanks" lol

"this time . . . .this time. . . the third time is not the charm" :P

Okay, wishful thinking of mine wants a candidate with the best of both parties, but Obama will act in principle yet also on political expediency, and he will elect, if given a chance, Supreme Court Judges unacceptable =(

[nibols23]

I love the clintons because even in their worst they are the best . they are great partners,great family, greatleaders. I'm still for hillary.

[ClaptonPettyFan]

Of CatHerder2007, when off teleprompter, Bush sounds like he teaxes the King his English as Obama babbles over his Ebonics.

[MotleyPirate]

LOL

[ClaptonPettyFan]

I wondered what the measuring stick was for Judgement Day. Well I now know that with the lies and deceit Bill Clinton wrapoped up into his speech, he enjoys his $10 million a year in speeches.

I realize that most here could not analyze the Clinton speech, but it was written by the worst American president and for morons. Enjoy your prixe. Reach in the bottom of the box as there might even be a price!

[whyputaname]

That's funny that you should say that, I wonder how much money Bush Jr. will make giving speeches....oh...I forgot he has to learn to talk first!

[MustangMan4277]

one of if not the greatest president of all time

[ClaptonPettyFan]

You are a deficient

[digitalJewel]

Wow! Woow! The standing ovation was aweeesome! "People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power." Best line ever.

[apj314159]

this man could convince me to have sex with him if he wanted to ..and i am as straight as they come...he is the finest orator of our lifetime ...beyond a doubt!!

[macadonjuan]

Only President Clinton........wow!

[IgorKagan]

Is he wearing the same tie as Joe Biden?

[asiu1990]

What a great ovation for a well-deserved man!

[CatHerder2007]

I really miss having a president that can speak English. And who has clear and eloquent thoughts and ideas that are not destructive to our country and the planet.

Well done President Clinton.

[masassali]

I believe he is one of the greatest debater of the recent history
