    The Real Importance of Bill Clinton’s Wonderfully Long Speech

    By Robert Reich

    Bill Clinton’s speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention was very long but it was masterful — not only in laying out the case for Barack Obama and against Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but in giving the American public what they most want and need in this election season: details, facts, and logic.

    Republicans have eschewed all detail, all fact, all logic. Theirs has been a campaign of ideological bromides mixed with outright bald-faced lies.
    Therein lies the importance of what Bill Clinton accomplished tonight. But, just as importantly, it wasn’t a wonky talk. He packaged the facts in a way people could hear. This is the highest calling of a public educator.

    The question is not how many undecided voters saw the speech (I doubt many did) but whether it galvanizes Democrats — giving them the clarity of conviction and argument they need over the next nine weeks to explain why Obama must be re-elected, and why a Romney-Ryan administration would be a disaster for this country.

    I believe Clinton’s speech accomplished this perfectly. We shall see.

    Even though I am not a Bill Clinton fan, I believe his speech helped lay the groundwork for the Democratic Party’s strategy of educating and highlighting President Obama’s accomplishment in office. Not only did Clinton tied ‘arithmetic” and “logic” to the conversation but reminded the audience that, “no President in history, not even me, could have turned the country around, in four years, granted the enormity of the economic crisis President Obama inherited”. I believe, that was the key factor that changed the minds of many undecided voters because many are looking for answers to this crisis.

    In fact, this crisis has caused enormous pain and many families are hurting from lost jobs and repossessed homes. Not forgetting those who have graduated from colleges and cannot find jobs in four years, some even more. Sadly, people are angry but there is no argument between who is the better of the two candidates. We still do not know Rommney because he refuses to reveal much of himself. BUT, what we do know, is the ARITHMETIC Bill Clinton spoke about and if that is not what America is looking at, then SO Help Me God. .
