It appears former President Bill Clinton can still wield some political thunder.
At least, that's how local media coverage described Clinton's rally at Akron's John S. Knight Center on Thursday night.
In the home stretch to Election Day, Clinton brought hundreds of folks to their feet as he focused on job creation and the auto industry.
Here's the roundup:
The Plain Dealer: Clinton touted Obama's multi-billion dollar auto bailout, saying the President's efforts created 200,000 new jobs versus losing 1 million. With that, he received one of many roars from the audience.
Fox 8 News: Clinton criticized Romney for his vagueness on balancing the budget and rejecting the auto bailout. Clinton charged that, if elected, Romney would hinder growth of the middle class and take credit for creating jobs that Obama "set the stage for."
The Press-News: Clinton said he was confident that voters would dismiss Romney's "bogus" campaign ads and support Obama's lengthy record to swing Ohio in the President's favor.
I heard VP Biden assert "Obamacare makes medicare solvent to 2024". Did he mean 2124? That's 12 years from now and based on likely rosey projections. What are their plans to reform to extend and strengthen? Why didn't he respond to "Why not raise the age over time gradually?". When I google CBO's long term projections, the current system is unsustainable. http://bipartisanpolicy.org/projects/debt-initiative/about See CNBC's "Are we rich or poor?": http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=1604902615 Regarding criticizing for "rejecting the auto bailout" - I've heard from many (including our President during the last debate). Let's start with the allegedly Romney NY Times Op Ed entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt". HE DIDN'T WRITE THAT. His title was something like "The Way Forward for the Auto Industry". The NY Times wrote that title. Romney merely proposed an orderly bankruptcy. Guess what, that's what ended up happening after taxpayor funding. A bankruptcy.

Of course he did, there were no chairs...

Obama-Biden: Helping the middle class, supporting women, moving America "Forward," not backward!
Watch it here. (There is 30-second ad first, then considerable Ohio mention starts about 50 seconds into clip.) Well worth watching! http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-november-1-2012/swing-state-hell
Obama has been an economic disaster the last four years, and this Benghazi disgrace is completely unacceptable... This country does not reward failure and dishonesty out of the White House... Every voter needs to read this excellent article... Very well worth your time... http://spectator.org/archives/2012/11/01/benghazi-obamas-core-deceit/ These are pretty good as well: http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/50657 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/10/25/CBS-Busts-Obama--and-Itself-Hidden-60-Minutes-Clip-Proves-White-House-Lied-About-Benghazi Romney/Ryan 2012

Hope and change, baby... It's much harder to do once you have a record that can be reviewed... He also said in 2008 that if he didn't get the job done in four years, that it would be a one term deal... Well, he hasn't delivered, so time to let him keep his word... Romney/Ryan 2012
Bill Clinton was disbarred from practicing law in Arkansas and was also disbarred from practicing law in front of the Supreme Court over the Lewinski incident. He also paid a $25,000.00 fine over the Lewinski incident. He also paid an $850,000.00 settlement over the Lewinski incident. He was also fined $90,000 for giving false testimony in the Paula Jones case. So Bill Clinton, a disbarred lawyer, a President who was fined for lying under oath, asks the American people to believe him when he says the best thing for the Country is 4 more years of Obama. Just wanted to make sure I had it right!
Now we know the reality about where George W has been hiding these days. He has been lecturing about moving money off shore to the Caymans, but don't expect details, as they have a "blackout" on the details from his speech there last night: http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/11/02/14875519-blackout-imposed-as-george-w-bush-speaks-at-cayman-islands-investment-conference And not getting any love from the Texas press over it: http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/2012/11/bushs-top-secret-cayman-islands-speech-youre-welcome-america.html/ Guaranteed, next year's keynote speech will be from "former GOP presidential candidate; Mitt Romney."
I recently listened to both of Obama's books on audio. It was a hard listen but only due to the fact that I am a bit tired of listening to Obama every single day after four plus years. What I found though is that Obama speaks a great game in these books as they were released before his election in 2008. I also tend to believe that Obama had good intentions from what I learned from him. As Presidents often do, Obama has admitted that being President is different than running for the position. There is a lot more that you find outside of your ability to change. I think America has become so defensive to the other party (left or right) that we all are jaded. I am a white male and I for one do not see RACE when I see and hear Obama. If one is white, black, both or other and stereotypes Obama due to his skin tone, that person is totally missing the big picture. Barack Obama doesn’t plot to overthrow or help anyone in particular. What Obama feels and does, he believes it to be for the common good of all. I truly believe this. I do on the other hand disagree with his beliefs on many issues as Liberals disagree with many Conservative views. We can all point out failures of the other side but both sides fail to please everyone. I will be voting Right Wing Nut Case again this year as I always do but if Obama wins, I will be changing plans for my future as I believe we all should. Hang on. It’s going to be a rough ride.
