Live Blogging the DNC: Bill Clinton
10:34 Bill Clinton is in the house. The crowd loves him.
10:35 Bill Clinton could fart and the crowd would go crazy.
10:36 I almost expect Bill Clinton to nominate himself. The crowd would cheer if he did.
10:37 Clinton gives Michelle Obama a nice shoutout.
Clinton gets in a funny line about how every politician wants you to believe they grewup in a log cabin they built himself.
10:40 Someone mentioned on Twitter that unlike George W. Bush, Clinton shows up as a rock star to the convention. Bush didn't even show up.
10:43 Clinton takes Republicans to task for putting partisanship over solving problems.
10:45 Clinton says we should give Obama a second term because he will keep working with Republicans. Someone should inform Obama that Mitch McConnell was elected to the Senate on a racist anti-school busing campaign.
10:49 Mitch McConnell's statement of making Obama a one-term president comes back to haunt him.
10:52: Clinton delivers Reagan's classic, "There they go again." Awesome.
10:55 Clinton is ad-lipping huge chunks of his speech.
10:58 Clinton brings up good points of auto parts dealers being saved by the trickle effect of the auto bailout.
11:00 Clinton: "Renewable energy has doubled."
11:01 Clinton talks about low interest student loans.
11:03 Clinton goes into health care. The energy dies down somewhat.
11:05 Clinton brings up the Republicans misleading attacks on Medicare. What Obama got rid of was the wasteful Medicare Advantage.
11:08 Clinton gets a standing ovation.
11:10 Bill Clinton is tearing Romney's Medicare and Medicaid cuts apart by humanizing the costs.
11:14 Clinton is tearing Romney and Ryan a new asshole.
Clinton: "Double down on trickle down."
11:21 Clinton rightfully calls Republicans out for their horrible voting restrictions.
11:23 It will be hard for Obama to top this speech.
