Clinton to highlight policy similarities with Obama
Charlotte, North Carolina (CNN) - A Democratic National Convention vital to President Barack Obama's re-election bid will hear from former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday after the first lady and other opening night speakers urged supporters to fight for a man they portrayed as a strong leader committed to equal opportunity for all.
The second day of the convention began with bad news for organizers, who decided to move Obama's concluding speech on Thursday night - the highlight of the three-day political conclave - because of predicted severe weather in the Charlotte area.

I think he may be addressing Lyin Ryan.
So, Clinton will speak, but the GOP was too chicken to have Dubya Bush speak - very cowardly, but not surprising considering the wimp that Obama's set to trample this fall. Not an issue though, we remember that Clinton left a surplus that Bush squandered. Our memories are better than the GOP wishes they were.
How odd. Up until last year. Clinton couldnt stand Obama and now they are best buds. Please...
If Obama has done such a fantastic job and everyone is voting for him why than does he need President Clinton to push voters to vote for Obama?????? Besides, Clinton couldn't stand Obama or did everyone conveniently forget 2008, let me guess Clinton has forgiven Obama for trashing Hillary really bad.
I'm one of those people that lost more than half what I worked for all my life and recently received an assessment what my home is worth which is $75,000 less that what I paid for it in 2001 when it was built not including the profit it had. I can't forget the mistakes under the Republican Congress and President Bush. They could of helped the housing industry and foreseen the Financial crisis but did nothing. Now we have another DO NOTHING CONGRESS obstructing opportunity and job growth. No matter who's President we need COMPROMISE. Help Obama get re-elected to continue prosperity for Americans. The path is not as fast as one would want but is improving. WE DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO 2008!!!

According to Lying Ryan, the most recent history of America is:
Clinton --> Vacuum --> Obama

We are talking about President Obama's job performance for the last, almost, 4 years. This is a man that according to Democrats, the networks, shouldn't even be worried of someone challenging his job because he has done more than any other president in history. So, why does Obama need Clinton to help seal the deal??????
It isn't a huge surprise that their policies are similar. Many of the people are the same from one administration to another.
Gurgyl, I get you. A good percentage of staff with Robmeys presidential run are directly from GW 8 years.
