iReporter Clayton Anderson says he liked ex-President Clinton's comparison between 2008 and his run in 1992.
(CNN) - Former President Clinton dismissed critics who say Sen. Barack Obama is too inexperienced for the presidency in his speech to the Democratic National Convention. On Wednesday night, Clinton rallied support for Obama by drawing comparisons between his candidacy in 1992, reminding the audience that "Republicans said I was too young and too inexperienced to be commander in chief." His message seemed to resonate with many iReport contributors. Clinton "showed that being young is not necessarily being inexperienced or not being ready to lead," said iReporter Jordan Sarver of Athens, Georgia, who also commented on Sen. Ted Kennedy's appearance Monday. Clayton Anderson of Savannah, Georgia, said the parallel that Clinton drew between Obama and himself was "most important aspect" of the speech. "I think we all know how productive and positive the Clinton administration was for Americans," Anderson said.
