Bill Clinton in 2012

On September 5, 2012, Clinton delivered his speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.

Contrary to many other speakers so far in the 2012 election race, Clinton presented clear facts and people were amazed. So much so that President Obama commented after the convention, "Somebody e-mailed me after the speech and said 'You need to appoint him Secretary of Explaining Stuff.' "
