Clinton Backs Obama in DNC Speech

HeadlineSep 06, 2012

President Obama is set to close the Democratic National Convention tonight with an address making his bid for re-election. Convention organizers have cancelled plans to hold the speech at the outdoor Bank of America Stadium due to forecasts of rain. On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton delivered a speech in support of Obama’s campaign.

Bill Clinton: “He inherited a deeply damaged economy. He put a floor under the crash. He began the long, hard road to recovery and laid the foundation for a modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses and lots of new wealth for innovators. Now, are we where we want to be today? No. Is the president satisfied? Of course not. But are we better off than when he took office?”
