The Republican Platform Committee finished a more principled, readable and forward looking platform in-time to let the Delegates watch Bill Clinton at the Democrat Convention. I was amazed about how Bill’s speech seemed to be more about himself and Hillary than Obama. Most notably, Bill pointed out how Republicans ran against him saying he was too inexperienced and not ready to be Commander-in-chief.

He is right, we did. We did because he was. I hope everyone remembers that the first two-years of the Clinton administration were so bad that we elected a Republican majority in congress for the first time in over 40 years. From Somalia to the attacks on the WTC, from the bombings of US embassies in Africa to the attack on the USS Cole Bill Clinton repeatedly failed to take adequate actions as Commander-in-chief to end the threat of terrorism in the United States. The Clinton year’s policies lead us to the horrific attacks of September 11th 2001.

Is Obama ready? No, neither was Bill Clinton.
