Clinton: Obama showing way to more modern economy

Wednesday, September 5, 2012

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama inherited a wreck of an economy, “put a floor under the crash” and laid the foundation for millions of good new jobs, former President Bill Clinton declared Wednesday night in a Democratic National Convention appeal aimed at millions of hard-pressed Americans yet to decide how to vote.

“If you want a you’re-on-your-own, winner-take-all society, you should support the Republican ticket,” Clinton said. “If you want a country of shared prosperity and shared responsibility — a we’re-all-in-this-together society — you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”

Obama’s high command released excerpts of his remarks hours before Clinton’s appearance as they worked to control the political fallout from an embarrassing retreat on the party platform.

Under criticism from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, they abruptly rewrote the day-old document to insert a reference to God and to declare that Jerusalem “is and will remain the capital of Israel.” Some delegates objected loudly, but Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, presiding in the largely-empty hall, ruled them outvoted. White House aides said Obama had personally ordered the changes, but they did not disclose whether he had approved the earlier version.

The episode was an unwanted intrusion for Democratic officials, who scripted the evening to showcase Clinton, popular 12 years after he left office with the budget in balance and now their unofficial ambassador-in-chief to anxious voters in a tough economy.

“In Tampa the Republican argument against the president’s re-election was pretty simple: ‘We left him a total mess, he hasn’t finished cleaning it up yet, so fire him and put us back in,”’ Clinton said in advance excerpts.

“I like the argument for President Obama’s re-election a lot better. He inherited a deeply damaged economy, put a floor under the crash, began the long hard road to recovery and laid the foundation for a more modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for the innovators.”

Obama arrived in his convention city earlier in the day, and officials said he would be in the hall when Clinton spoke.

That and the eight-week general election campaign about to begin between Obama and Republican challenger Romney, who spent his second straight day in Vermont preparing for this fall’s debates with Obama.

Inside the hall, a parade of speakers praised Obama, but many went relatively easy on Romney after a series of scathing speeches on the convention’s opening night.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who sits opposite Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on the House Budget Committee, was something of an exception.

“When President Clinton left office, America had projected surpluses of trillions of dollars over the next decade. Then came two wars, two huge tax cuts tilted to the wealthy and a new entitlement. Republicans didn’t pay for any of it. Paul Ryan voted for all of it,” he said.

Clinton’s speech marked the seventh consecutive convention he has spoken to party delegates, and the latest twist in a relationship with Obama that has veered from frosty to friendly. The two men clashed in 2008, when Obama outran Hillary Rodham Clinton’s wife for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Rhetoric. What do you call a promise to cut the deficit in half in the first four years? Rhetoric. Promise to air the Obamacare debates on C-SPAN and then fail to do so? Rhetoric. I don't want four more years of class warfare, massive spending, unemployment above 8% (14% for blacks), and 47,000,000 of your fellow Americans on food stamps. If you think Mr. Obama is successful, I'd hate to see your failure.

I don't want four years of failed policies geared toward the rich that have put our country in financial ruin. I don't want four years of deregulation of banks and deregulation of environmental regulations meant to keep our drinking water safe.

"I don't want four years of failed policies geared toward the rich that have put our country in financial ruin." -- What has Mr. Obama done to fix it? He's running the show. He spent $600,000,000 (that's rich people kind of money) to "inherit" everything he promised to "change". He passed everything he wanted to with the exception of letting the evil Bush tax cuts expire during complete democrat control (2008-2010). How can a President with no barriers to his policy ideas not even make a dent in the economy? Why haven't any democrats passed Mr. Obama's budgets? Are they all racist too?

Can you really respect Obama? Do things like these worry you: Fast and Furious, a nuclear Iran, Occupy Wall Street, George Soros, Cap and Trade, Agenda 21, Muslim Brotherhood, Guantanimo, "we'll have to pass it to find out what's in it", voter ID, essentially open borders, essentially pandering to illegals with amnesty, gutting our military, a foreign policy that makes us the laughing stock of the free world, we are just the checkbook for the IMF, and a National Debt that just continues to grow despite all the markers that say a crisis is inevitable. He has divided America by race, faith, and economic station. He has reversed our work for welfare programs and destroyed the hopes and dreams of people because people now look for a handout instead of a hand up. He is destroying small business with regulations and uncertainty. He's go to make us Greece at best; Cuba at worst. What's to like about this guy?

I was 35 once, now I am 55, those 20 years went by fast, and now they are even faster. I consider myself very center. God, Guns, Babies, Trucks, Israel, and Democrats. I am concerned with health care for your family and mine, medicare for myself and parents, social security for myself and all. 4 trillion was left by Reagen and Bush 1, Clinton left 1 trillion, Bush 2 left 4.899 trillion, and Obama 5.377 trillion. In order to pay for this 8.899 trillion left by the Republicans ( it is really more just landed in Obamas lap ) so I will claim it for him, with Clintons 1 trillion and Obamas 5.377 trillion. We still need to pay for this, it cannot go on forever, but we MUST spend our money in AMERICA, not Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, or anywhere else. Then will we see the defict start to drop. Bill Clinton was right the Republicans and Democrats got us into this,, but the Republicans will NOT get us out of this. They will cut taxes and it will be the same game all over. Deregulation does not work, Trickle down does not work, 8 years of Bush 2 about destroyed this great country. You can say oh but the Democrats had part of this (easy loans, ect), just like this Health care coming from Obama, it is not perfect, a work in progress, it will need to be tweeked. Bush 2 should have been tweeking BANKS and WALL STREET for 8 years , instead we had 2 wars on a credit cards and deregulation of Banks and Wall Street until we were in trouble! The most interseting part of the speech last night was since 1961 who has created more jobs, and who has been in office more! Thrifty purchases will not cut it if we want to reaccumulate our wealth in America , nor will storing your money in a BANK outside of the Good Old USA! BUY AMERICAN Rob

First thing, but one no D or R will ever do, is to get us completely out of the Middle East, including military and government contractors. Then we can start saving some huge expenditures. This will never happen because both parties are deep in the pocketbooks of the kickbacks and other benefits from their contractor cronies. If we need to help Israel out someday, we can do it from here by firing up a few of the ICBMs and make a few parts of the Middle East into a sea of glass to get their attention.

I have no clue why we are in Afghanistan. The Russians and everyone else have been there for years and they didn't accomplish anything there either. It is up to the Afghanistanis themselves to figure out what they want to do.

Yes I am better off than I was four years ago. How many more would be on food stamps and how high would have unemployment been if we keep feeding the tax breaks to the rich and keep turning our heads to the race track gambling that the Bush cronies bet our economy on? Fire some more off spel I have plenty of things to fire back right at you.

I am better off now then I was 4 years ago as well, Obama has held things pretty steady considering how fast things were blowing up when he took office, has he made things better? Not yet but he has held it steady..the next four years we will see him start to rebuild! If Romney get's in office things will begin to blow up again then this country is doomed!

Braun, remeber I was in the Non Union, for half of my career. I also was voting Rebublican on 2, or 3 items. Guns, Defence, and Babies for the first 20 years. Health care was the big switch in parties at 35. Do you know what the 2 amendment says? When you run to your trusty constitution, swing forward a few pages and reread section 8, tell me if this Congress has completed its duties. Obesity in America is a problem, Cancer is a problem, I have lost 4 friends to cancer/ lung related illness! I smoked for 11 years, they were .25 cents a pack when I started, R J Reynolds admitted in court they put chemicals in them, and studied young people in th 70s to see how good; they could addict them. I quit in 1983 and I still want one? I don' t care if people smoke, I don't care if theystuff themselves with teaspoon fulls of raw sugar. But they need to take care of the end result. That brings me to Insurance, things can be Jim Dandy, and then the big company lets you go. That affects the Husband, as welll as the Mom, and the Children. Your insurance stops, you are forced to go on Cobra for 18 months, if you can afford it,( 20 years ago mine was $ 250. now its $900.) ( kinda like smokes .25 to $4.00) if you are not working Cobra is not going to last to long at either of those rates. America will not be a Muslim nation!

The race card is a lazy sleight of hand to distract someone from the reality of the failures the ones throwing the race card created or supported.

asb 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Of course not all Republicans are racist. But most racists are republican. The Teaparty isn't a racist organization, but it spends more effort curbing the racists in the fold than any party since the bad old days. The race card is, by definition, an inappropriate use of race in a discussion where race shouldn't really be an issue. The millions of Americans who will not vote for Obama because he's black IS an issue. When the FRight wing accuses Obama of being a Mooslim, is that the foreign devil card? Race and religion may not be appropriate criteria for election, but they are, always have been, and always will be. Pointing out the issue, and chastizing people for raising race or religion to high levels, isn't playing the race card. Wide distribution of racial and religious smears, by the large PACs, IS playing the race card, in a poker game of the highest stakes and in the most inhuman manner I've seen in my life. Makes one yearn for the days of Willie Horton. Go ahead, keep saying "race card" while you grease the big cross for burnin'

JCLifer 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Good grief. Reading these posts it appears YOU are most concerned with race and are usually the first to bring up race in the discussion. I don't understand why race is so important or why a person's race makes much difference in anything. Behavior is such a better indicator of a person than their race.

Free your mind and the rest will follow Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

asb 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Lifer I never bring up race, I only respond to race in threads (Spelchk in this case). Yes, it IS important to me. And humans CAN'T be color blind, and I'm not sure we should be. Differences between us are generally enriching, but distrust, hatred, fear, dehumanization; and the pandering to those tendencies, are major political tools and I feel they're important to address and counter.

JCLifer 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Do you think we should value and accept diversity? Should diversity be used as a filter to judge other persons as being "good" or bad", "right" or "wrong"?

What is the proper standard here? I believe color blindness is achievable. I believe it is desirable. I believe we are more alike than we are different.

Again, I am not really concerned with race, ethnicity, religion, hair color, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, etc. I am concerned with behaviors.

BTW: It looks like Dokeues was the first one to "play the race card" in this thread. Sorry I jumped on you- did not mean to attack you personally. It just seems arbitrary to me when race is sometimes a huge deal, and then many of us try to ignore race.

Boy will they pay at the polls for the mistake they have made being aligned with likes of GROVER NORQUIST. I am willing to pay MY FAIR SHARE for everything this great country has to offer. Sure there is waste, the Tea Party could spend some of this energy to police it, but they have wasted their time trying to make Obama a one time President, maybe we ought to them let have it, and let them literally run it into the ground. NAH, Obama will get another 4 and the likes of Romeny will head on home and deposit his money back in the Cayman Islands, (Hey the Cayman Islands NEED HELP TOO!) continue to Butcher Companies, and to screw workers over like he has Over, and OVer, and OVER.

Grace the Tea Party was born of a gruesome liason between Glen Beck and a Zombie Bircher in the middle of the night under Beck's bed just a few years ago. If the left has run roughshod over America for decades it's because it was elected to do so. Your rhetoric is the type of foaming propoganda that is going to help re-elect Obama. Conservatives have had a tremdous and generally good impact on American politics for over 200 years, but when the boogey man comes out you get the civil war or McCarthyism. Pick legitimate issues, make reasoned arguments, adhere to the ideas that sound conservatives have used with great success for two centuries. Perhaps you cannot, too bad, you help the left with your poison.

Having read some of the comments here I am amazed. The liberal kool aid drinkers can't see the direction this socialist muslim is leading this country. When this term is over, O'Bummer will have been president for less than two per cent of the life of this country, and will have added over a third to our national debt. It's time for a change, he has failed. The idea that you can tax the rich into a bail out for all of the wasteful spending is not logical. They will protect themselves and their families, even if means firing employees. When is the last time a poor man signed an employees paycheck?

A leg wrap costs $900, Surgery on leg? 6 weeks later need a new leg wrap because the hospital disposed the other one, and that will be another $900 to the customer. They could have sent that item home? Someone needs to straighten it out, and Romeny thinks Ryan made a mistake Voting for the upcoming cuts?

This lying excuse for a former President is a disgrace. The best thing that happened to Clinton was a loss of Congress and his shift toward the center forced by Republicans. If he hadn't done that he would not be remembered for anything but the "blue dress". He turned a blind eye to the Middle East while he was fighting Whitewater and the Lewinsky fiasco and trying to keep from being thrown out of office. Years the Muslim extremists made good use of. Of course he can claim the Community Reinvestment Act, which turned out to be the genesis for our housing crash and subsequent economic debacle. What a guy! Libs love him though, go figure. They can forgive a lot - I can't.

Let's all just remember that all of the people in the Congress along with the President work for the government, not a private company. While they sit and decide things for the country, they have time off, vacation days, healthcare and we are at odds and they are living the life. So, when they complain about what the government does not do, they are reaping all the benefits. Now think about all that, plus they voted all these laws into place but now they will not do thier job and work on fixing things. If you did not do your job would you still have one???? If your boss told you to get things done would you survive if you did not do your job???

He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? ...

As long as we're discussing former presidents, everyone should read this, and read it now:

theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/09/bush-knew-more-about-bin-laden-plans-than-we-realized/56716/

The Republican neocons are more dangerous than any so called "socialist muslim." And you're thinking about voting for them again?

Read this, from the article, since we're talking about "drinking the kool-aid:"

"An intelligence official and a member of the Bush administration both told me in interviews that the neoconservative leaders who had recently assumed power at the Pentagon were warning the White House that the C.I.A. had been fooled; according to this theory, Bin Laden was merely pretending to be planning an attack to distract the administration from Saddam Hussein, whom the neoconservatives saw as a greater threat. Intelligence officials, these sources said, protested that the idea of Bin Laden, an Islamic fundamentalist, conspiring with Mr. Hussein, an Iraqi secularist, was ridiculous, but the neoconservatives’ suspicions were nevertheless carrying the day.

In response, the C.I.A. prepared an analysis that all but pleaded with the White House to accept that the danger from Bin Laden was real."

It is the "conservative movement" that has hurt this country, hurt us all by their blind devotion to their own goals over and above basic prudent management of the country. It is a crime and a travesty of negligence by this conservative movement (as opposed to true conservatives, which have all been drummed out of the conservative movement). They ignore reality in favor of what they want to be true to further their own goals.

If you're thinking about voting for these careless, self-interested criminals, then you're the one who is "drinking the kool-aid."

Wake up. Don't let this happen again. If Mitt Romney is elected, our children will be dying on the battlefield in Iran while our tax dollars flow to defense contractors.

JCLifer 8 months, 1 week ago

"If Mitt Romney is elected, our children will be dying on the battlefield in Iran while our tax dollars flow to defense contractors."

Uh, what do you think is happening for the past 4 years? We are still killing our sons in war in Afghanistan (two died yesterday), and we are still giving millions of dollars to defense contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama is no less a crony to the rich defense contractors and for sending our children to die in the Middle East for crazy wars we have no reason to be involved in. Do you honestly think it will get better with four more years of Obama? He is going to ramp up our involvment at crushing the resisters in Syria. We are going to continue sticking our noses to crush insurgents who would want democracy in their country. We will probably soon be bombing Israel as much as he hates the Jewish people. Wake up! Obamba is no better than Bush or probably Romney in this regard.

Sequoia 8 months, 1 week ago

Well, we have evidence to suggest otherwise: Obama handled Lybia very differently than Bush handled Afghanistan and Iraq. And the same people who advised Bush on foreign policy will advise Romney.

So, yes, Obama can't just assume office and reverse course and pretend the neocons hadn't gotten us into all these wars.

Crushing the resisters in Syria? What? Bomb Israel? Now that's crazy. That's just foolish statements. You're just making those things up because you can't deal with the point. Again: look how neocons want to live in a different reality that serves their own goals.

You can't seriously pretend Obama is anything near the negligence displayed by Bush and the neocons in the article I posted.

Ask yourself, honestly, which candidate is more or less likely to get us involved in major foreign wars. I think the answer is obvious.

Look at what Obama did in Lybia. Look how he got Bin Laden (quietly, inexpensively... it was over before anyone knew what happened.) In contrast, look at what the neocons did in Iraq.

The answer is obvious. It's as plain as day. It doesn't make you a "liberal" just to acknowledge reality.

We will never resolve the religious/political problems they have, nor should we. It was Chaos before we were there and it will be back to chaos when we leave. Also BURN THE POPPIES, Take their income away! McCAIN, and Romeny will have us in SYRIA, and IRAN. Someone must keep these two in check or we will have another Credit card action to add to the Debt.
