Amazing...
Sep. 5th, 2012 07:58 pmI got an email from Bill Clinton while he was speaking at the Democratic National Convention. That is a nifty trick. La. Neato. More on the clothing choices at the convention. Elizabeth Warren wore that royal blue color - very typical outfit, blazery ensemble but the color did look good on her, nothing standout about it. She did a competent job speaking. I found myself not really listening to her that much. She is in a Senate race and I wish her well.
I found myself thinking tonight, that I would have elected Bill Clinton as President again if it were not for those pesky term limits. I really think he was effective in that job. He was good. Even with his catastrophes in his personal life and that little Lewinsky thing - he was very effective and he is still effective. Funny thought that.
On Clinton's speech tonight. He is pulling things out of Barack Obama's record and making interesting points - about his appointments of Republicans to key positions, opponents and the like. Constructive collaboration is the theme on all of this - that is how Obama works. Great way to highlight the strength of the President and he is doing more...partnership over partisanship on national security...and more.
I love his analysis of the Republican convention and what they did not say there - that they want to shelter the wealthier Americans from paying taxes, increase military spending by more than the Pentagon is asking and cut programs for children and low income people.
I also like Clinton's point that economic recovery is slow going and that Obama started with a weaker economy than he did. No President could have repaired the damage in this time. The foundation has been laid. I am not an economist, I am just paraphrasing the points in this speech. There is some logic to it.
Anyways. My toilet is turned off because there is a leak in a pipe to the apartment downstairs. It won't be fixed until Saturday. Augh! AUGH! I am serious. Very inconvenient.
My vacation starts on Saturday. I cannot wait and work is annoying. I do need time off.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
