What’s the Matter with Bill?

Rumor has it that Bill Clinton will not stay in Denver tonight to hear Senator Obama’s acceptance speech. If it’s true, some say it isn’t a big deal. I disagree.

If President Clinton does not attend the speech, it tells me he has no interest in our candidate. That makes me nervous and a little ticked. If we are all on the same team, why wouldn’t he want to be involved and dedicated to helping in any way he can to make our team the winner? The future of our country is just as important to him and his family as it is to you and your family and to me and my family.

There was a time I would go to bat in a heart beat to defend President Clinton. Sure, when he admitted to lying about his sexual tryst, I was pissed at him, but it wasn’t about what he did, it was that he had lied to me and you. I quickly got beyond those feelings. I admired the hell out of him. But it seems he has changed. I don’t know if it’s ego or what. I just wish he was as dedicated to us and I used to be to him.

As I post this, this morning, I have not as yet seen his speech from last night. All week I have crashed before the speeches came on and instead I get up early and watch the tape of them on C-span. Hopefully when I watch Bill’s speech this morning, he will have said something to cause my faith in him to return.

Update
I just finished watching Bill’s speech from last night. Oh boy! That’s the Bill Clinton we all loved. He’s back with a vengeance and I could not be happier to see him display his knowledge and talent. Thank you Bill Clinton for being there when we needed you so much.
