Slick Willy Jumps on the Bandwagon

After talking mad ish on Obama while he and Hilary Clinton were neck and neck for the Democratic vote, now Bill Clinton has turned another cheek.

Former President Bill Clinton took the stage last night, on the third day of the Democratic National Convention, receiving an overwhelming response of cheers and ovation from the crowd lasting more than two minutes.

Just as his wife did, Clinton declared his support for Barack Obama and made it clear that he feels the Illinois senator is ready to lead the nation.

"Everything I learned in my eight years as president and in the work I've done since, in America and across the globe, has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job," Clinton told a crowd of Democrats waving American flags.

In an historical night of unity, Democrats nominated Barack Obama as their presidential candidate on Wednesday, sending him into battle against Republican John McCain.

After Clinton's speech, presidential hopeful Barack Obama made a surprise visit on stage to greet and acknowledge his supporters at the convention hall. Obama will officially accept his nomination on Thursday.
