Last edited Thu Sep 6, 2012, 02:43 AM - Edit history (2)
Through a lengthy speech this evening, former President Clinton ran an Olympic political marathon. Starting out lighting the way from his own administration with his Bubba torch, he paced himself well against political opponents, sprinting past checkpoints of his own marks.
Photographs of the run captured dirty tricks, offensive moves and illegal maneuvers engineered by his opponents. Zooming past them in a glorious run, he hit the zone of what we today know as Obama land. From that moment on, the Clinton torch burned brightly with Obama fuel which carried a triumphal message home into the arena: politics doesn't have to be a blood sport.
Officials confirmed he did in fact complete the race in under three hours....
Former President Bill Clinton's words when finished after running this glorious race were simply these. If you watched this contest, now is the time to pick a side. Are you with the contenders of hope or contestants of greed and hate?
Give the man a gold political medal.

One Republican, I think it was on MSNBC said after the speech, that he wished they had someone on their side who could do what Clinton does. He was gracious enough to concede that the speech was outstanding.

It didn't seem long to me either. He didn't waste a minute.
Thanks for posting on my thread.

(62,325 posts)but he was complimentary and imo, for a Republican, pretty gracious, and honest about the speech.
