Bill Clinton drew no shortage of laughs with his speech to the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
In reframing last week's GOP message, he employed equal parts
mockery, wonkery and plainspeak.
In short, he said, the
Republicans came to Tampa to deliver a simple message about Obama: "We
left him a total mess, but he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and
put us back in."
Clinton hit Paul Ryan in
the same style. The GOP vice presidential candidate had attacked Obama for
cutting $716 billion from Medicare, when his own budget proposal included those
same cuts.
"You
gotta give him one thing. It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what
you did," Clinton said.
