Former President Bill Clinton has clinched the spot as speaker for the Democratic Convention on August 27, the same day the vice presidential nominee’s speech will take place in Denver, Colorado. The convention will run from August 25-28.

When asked about whether he felt Barack Obama would qualify for our next President of the United States he simply replied:

“You could argue that nobody is ever ready to be president. I mean, I certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year.”

And then he continued by saying:

“The Constitution sets qualifications for the president. And then the people decide who they think would be the better president. I think we have two choices. I think he should win, and I think he will win.”

Obama of course responded saying that Clinton has been very “supportive” of him.

“I thought he showed extraordinary restraint in a fairly provocative interview,” Obama said. “I couldn’t ask for him to be any more gracious than he’s been and supportive since the campaign ended.”

Hillary Clinton is also expected to join the Democratic festivities with a speech of her own on the second day of the convention which is also the 88th anniversary of the day women were granted the right to vote. Several marches will be taking place in honor of the anniversary.

I have a quick question, what has Hillary done recently to help sway her voters to vote for Obama in November? Time is ticking and I am pretty sure there are still some “bitter” Hillary supporters under the bridge to deal with. Okay that was mean. What do you thinkabout Team Obama/Clinton? Do you think they’ll be able to unite the Democratic Party to take back the White House?
