Before the World Hated Us - Bill Clinton's 2000 Speech (video)



Here's the introduction to Bill Clinton's Gladiator Speech at the 2000 Convention. With lots of inspirational video clips, Clinton sums up the state of America as he leaves office. He talks about how the world views America in 2000 . . . the difference between then and now is nothing short of heartbreaking.

As is the difference between President Clinton and the chimp.

But unlike our current unqualified misfit, President Clinton had/has a brain . . . . and dignity and grace. Yesterday he turned 60. Happy birthday Bill Clinton. You were far from a perfect president, but those were far far happier days for America. And the world did not hate us.
