Bill Clinton Democratic Convention Speech - Part 2

Back


Former President Bill Clinton laid to rest any speculation Wednesday night that he would not enthusiastically back Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for president by making a forceful call for voters to elect Obama because "Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world." "I am here first to support Barack Obama," Clinton said, opening his address in characteristic fashion by deviating from the prepared text aides distributed to reporters ahead of time. On the night the Democratic National Convention made Obama the first African-American ever nominated by a major party, Clinton acknowledged that his "preferred candidate" — his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York — had fallen short. But, he said, "like her, I want all of you to support Barack Obama in November."
