The speech that won President Obama a 2nd term.
yeah after that speech I wanted to vote for Clinton
Copy that!!!
adub4ever Yes. Absolutely. After that speech, the election was over.
Great convention. Great speakers and a call to tell the GOP, get with the times!!!
adub4ever I think, Chris Christie endorsment won Obama's 2nd term
My Favorite President. I came to the United States from Kingston Jamaica in 1994 and It was a privilege and honor to have had Bill Clinton as my president.
And you're always welcome in the States!
You betcha
@@mileenakahn2051 yes sir
Take im at House.
What do you think about his decision to bomb Yugoslavia in 1999 ?
It was witout UN approval. Bombing lasted for 78 days. NATO aircrafts killed more civilians than soldiers.
Man, I'm not even American and I'll still go to war for this guy. What an amazing personality.
right?
@@nutsackmania ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's depressing
@@tvfandashow6222You’re probably a MAGANUT and feel the same way about crooked Trump!
This is the kind of thing Clinton does better than almost anyone. He can persuasively communicate great ideas, in a common sense folksy style that neither insults the intelligence of Americans nor burdens them with legalese, jargon or minutiae. He takes rural Americans,the working men and women, the college students, the housewives, and the urban poor for a ride and shows them the way the world can be.
@@stevesanzari7294 Not saying it's justified, but every president murders people.
He was selling dru*gs through deep state and flew aboard Jeffrey Epsteins plane. But was a brilliant liar.
@@templemount4094 Look down and adjust yourself. Your agenda is showing.
@@BTURNER1961 Do your own research instead of making blanket statements. Plenty of evidence of people who investigated Clinton family dealings and disappeared off the face of the earth.
Clinton may unfortunately be known for his sex scandals, but he is still a charasmatic former president
As a newscaster said: "It's has to be illegal for someone to enjoy what they do as much as Bill Clinton enjoys politics." To say that he's good is an understatement!
It's a rare skill to unravel economic policy and make it understandable to the general public. President Clinton has that skill.
Say what you will about him, but Clinton can deliver a speech like no other.
Like a scumbag whos been lying to crowds his whole life....
@@JustSomeGoy Lying about what exactly?

If you Don’t like it He kills you !
All the replies on this comment are from right-wing kool-aid drinkers. Bill Clinton is "The Man!" One of the smartest visionaries this country has ever had the pleasure to have as president.
You don't have to like him as a person, but you have to admit he was a great politician
Great president as well. Aside from his flaws, his adminstration saw unprecedented economic growth with the most jobs being created than that of any other presidency. 3 budget surpluses
@@onlyMistaZ crime was also the lowest under his presidency in 20 years.
Most charismatic man in the world. Period.
You're weak
When Kennedy was president, he was much more charismatic.
He's speaking next week at the democratic convention on Tuesday night and I'm sure he will deliver a great speech .
I don't know, Obama definitely gives him a run for his money.
False
It could be 3012 and this would STILL be considered perhaps the greatest convention speech of all time. Bill really hit it out of the park that nite and I think this was the turning point of the election.
This speech got him reelected
great speech, but no
Thank God the Clinton Crime Syndicate didnt get back into power, we would be Israels puppet even more than that idiot Trump.
@forza juventus thanks, i have tons of them.
I agree

A great speech
OMG! So inspiring and fact-based!
@Dakari Curtis really r r u just a fucking bot?
Yeeeas
I teach publc speaking and I keep raving about this speech and how incredibly dynamic Bill Clinton is as a speaker! Worth every cent he charges! Future speach givers ... take NOTES!!!
One of the best speeches I've ever heard.
+nomibe2911 This speech turned me into a Democrat. My wife and I had never voted before (I was 22 when this came out) and I watched the RNC speeches and the DNC speeches equally to figure out where I stood .. and after this speech I was never the same again.
+nomibe2911 Rapists are good speakers...
+Mo Fo blah blah blah, what else do you got
Anthony Campos You support rapists?? Must be a union thug...
Mo Fo well that's a nice opinion you have on him, yet none of it stuck in 1992 or 1996
If I could vote for this man again, I SO would. Love him or hate him (♥!), this man absolutely radiates charisma.
Please, make sure you write in his name when you are voting this year.
After hearing his speech, I would have voted for anyone Bill Clinton endorses. He exudes such energy and has such a magnetic personality that I am mesmerized hearing him. I know why he was elected defeating a sitting President. He is one of the best!
So after listening to this again, I *really* can't blame Monica Lewinsky. The poor 21 year old girl never stood a chance. *sigh*.
😰
lololololololol
+mzenji Amen. I am a heterosexual man, and I would spoon with Bill Clinton while watching The Notebook. :o)
+mzenji U crazy lol.
mzenji he has charisma I will give him that
The day the Republicans lost...
Good theory.

STILL the greatest convention speech given by anybody of either party of all time. I never get tired of watching this!
Friendly reminder from another admirer of this speech! There’s Hope!
Bill Clinton... my god. Will we ever have a president this smart and caring for the people?
What about Obama?

🤣 That's a tricky word. Monica was a great oralator herself! 🥲😉😋
I don’t listen to Pedos bud
This is byyyyyyy farrrrrrrrrrrr one of the best speech ive ever heard in my lifeeeeeeee!!! Bill Clinton will go down as the best speaker, as well as Obama, ever!!!!! I watched this like 12 times.
+Peter Perfect dude you're an idiot
I agree
Bill has charisma unlike HIllary
Bloodylaser yeah i agree, why do you think that is?
Me too, Omosede. At least 2/year. My favorite speech of my lifetime.
I have listen to this speech many times. I have been and always will be a big supporter of Bill and Hillary. They share my values and believes. This speech is perhaps the most informative, inspiring, funny, colorful, and brilliantly performed of all the many speeches I have listed to. Coupled with all is many campaigning this performance allowed for a much deserved second term for President Obama. I eagerly look forward to a second President Clinton.
+Fred Senn HILLARY 2016!!!!
This may be the greatest political speech I have ever heard, and I have heard political speeches since 1972, and many others recorded. Fact filled and inspirational both. This is why Bill Clinton (in spite of some personal peccadilloes) may be one of the best leaders we ever have had.
th-cam.com/video/FXf_pYBzTVU/w-d-xo.html
So true. It was an incredible speech that turned a close election into a landslide.
@@rawn4203 Clinton is responsible for aggression on Yugoslavia in 1999. NATO bombed many civilian objects. For example TV station, train crossing bridge, bus, hospital. No one from NATO was convicted for crimes.
I saw this live on tv back then. I wanted to watch it again....as it is an unbelievably good speech and HE is a ditto speech maker!!
Say what you will about him he is SO good at keeping ideas heavy and light with a sharp tongue all at the same time
This man just eats republicans alive. He is their worst nightmare, and I love every minute of it!
@@stevesanzari7294, jealous?
@@garythompson8629 thats not an insult fam
He slso eats adrenachrome from Wuhan
The guy's a fucking master of politics.
Oh Heck Yes!
He is Political Royalty And He Knows How To Put All People First including His Wife Hillary And His Daughter Chelsea
I watch this speech whenever I get depressed or feel that know-nothings will prevail in this country. We're capable of better. We just need a better explainer-in-chief.
Give this man a third term, the only good president since Reagan
PyroMachinima Yes indeed.
PyroMachinima Yeah, and unlike Reagan, he didn't explode the national debt.
PyroLegends way better than Reagan
Now even though I am a republican I would vote for Bill just because of his character and personality
You shouldn’t just vote on his character and personality also on someone ideas and see if there going to tell the truth
@@Saicharan-hk9id does that stop him from doing his job?
Clinton put the Republicans to shame (Actually the Republicans put themselves to shame). If Clinton could run again I'd vote from him again.
So would Jeffrey Epstein.
This guy delivers not the speech, but he binds people along with him and travels along with them and motivates them with his full strength... Worth hearing this speech.
Bill Clinton the brightest political star ever has overshadowed Obama! This speech makes me wonder who exactly was running for the presidential election in 2012, seems pretty much like Bill was running for his third term lol
The Return of the King!
I can't wait to hear his speech next year
Bill Clinton is a gifted and effective communicator.
I'm using this to work on an Arkansas accent.
Bakorafanboy13
I lived in Arkansas for four years, he doesnt really have an Arkansas accent, or at least not one that Ive heard and I went all over the entire state. His accent is way toned down because he couldnt be a progressive politician with a tarded Arkansas accent.
Its closer to Tennessee accent. I went to Ark State, he doesn't have that twang to it
One of the best and gifted charismatic leaders of our time. God bless President Bill Clinton!
I think Obama will repay the favor at the 2016 DNC.
yes !
***** yes it was
But yes obama is speaking at the convention
And he just did. Good comment.
Yes he did! Both powerful speakers. I felt so energised by Obama's DNC speech.
10 years later not only has he become a reformed orthodox rabbi but the game of the year award winner for 2022!
president Clinton if you ever need a kidney you can have one of mine. what a great man for America, god bless the Clinton family.
clinton 2016
***** No they don't! ... Clinton wasn't happy that he beat his wife but he got over it.. they aren't great friends but they aren't enemies either.
Damn, that man is a fantastic speaker.
Did anyone else see the tremble in his hands? Its sad to be reminded that such great leaders and great men must grow old. Probably one of the best speeches since 'I have a dream'
As long as this man lives he will continue to be a huge thorn in the side of the GOP.
I remember this speech. I was a junior in HS and we were in our unit on rhetoric. Our assignment was to watch both conventions and take notes on the speeches. All of them were excellent-Clinton, Obama, and Romney. Three great orators.
I'm surprised no one talks about Clinton's bow to Obama at the end, after his formidable speech, that bow pretty much solidified Obama's winning status and drilled the last nail into Romney's coffin.
So good to see my reformed orthodox rabbi back in his prime 🥲
Damn, man. I even googled that shit)
I had to pull this speech up again to listen to it word-for-word. It was so riveting, so inspirational, the kind of reminder that we, the American people, needed to hear! Bravo!
Seeing a whole nation in unity is so much heart warming..
Bill's speech was so wistful that I found myself biting my lip.
A master at work.
itumblers Isn't that what most politician are all about? I mean, fooling people? But nevertheless, this still represents a benchmark speech. He ran through Republican bullshit like a tank through whip cream.
***** Hey man! Are you okay? Are you having a seizure??
***** Pfffff-ha-ha-ha!!!! Haw man, you are so funny.... A genuine joke, you are.... Hey bud, who's the dog on the picture?? Is he the one whispering all this vacuity to your ear? Are you a Son of Sam copycat???
Master of Lies.
i once thought it was Bill who was the candidate. wow that was one great speech.
The one silver lining if Hillary becomes President is that we get to have Ol' Slick Willy back in the White House... Hell yes!
The man was at the top of his game, as far as delivery and substance is concerned. Doesn't matter what you think of his politics, policies or personal life. His speech put President Obama over the top for reelection.
So powerful at @20:00 - 20:25
Woow. He is going to speak tonight. I wonder how he is going to beat this
Wow, that really was a pretty remarkable speech. And he used facts, statistics and verifiable information! How refreshing to see that in the political world.
The most convincing, inspiring and emotive political speech I've ever hear. I love Bill Clinton.
No matter what your politics are, you certainly recognize the genius of this oratory, and of the man delivering it. Obama certainly did: 49:20 is one epic "Thanks for that!" moment.
10 years later and I can’t believe how some of President Clinton’s remarks in this speech are still applicable today.
Bill Clinton was a good guy,great American,and president. He knew how to deal with those Serbs even better then us Bosniaks. I wish America was on our side and not their side. He was a great president.
His fact checker comment still rings a bell.
Every Speech teacher in the US should play this speech to students as the best ever example of HOW to give a speech. Gestures, inflection, eye contact, humor, drama -- he builds it all into a speech. Outstanding.

Love how this speech pops up in my feed today. Words true then and true now!
Happy 70th birthday Bill Clinton!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, behold: the Secretary of Explaining Shit.
Clinton will all ways be the shit.
He oozes charisma. Can't not love him.
He was a great president who handled one of the best economies at the time, he was smart and gave great speeches. He probably would've been better if Scandals weren't brought up to him
Plenty of non famous sluts in the USA.
Bill Clinton is really something. This speech was bolstered by hours of prep time, natural charisma, an ability to hold an audience...
And the absolute knowledge that if he was running in the 2012 race, he'd have defeated both Romney and Obama without breaking a sweat.
Yes. If he could hold a third term, he would beat every single person that's running for president now, including the current and former presidents running.
I wish we had just had 6 terms of Bill Clinton.
+irllcd13 don't we all
+irllcd13 eliminate term limits on the president
+tiborvivi nah unlike your confederate flag which is being taken down throughout the U.S. the Clintons aren't going anywhere
+Anthony Campos dont worry about the Confederate Flag, it is only a temporary removal.
+tiborvivi yeah temporary, just like the confederacy's existence
Mr. President Clinton. Economy big growth(1993~2001)
It was truly a wonderful speech.
Hearing this man again - "The GREAT 'S'PLAINER," reminds me how much he did for us, regardless of his shortcomings in his personal life.
💯💯
The best from Bill, I loved it all.
I'd rather add two Guantanamo criminals,
These two characters destroyed the reputation and position of the United States around the world. The TDA is not seen in the world as a leading and prosperous country but as a global tyrant usurper and provocateur of conflicts and aiding wars in many countries around the world. As a result, millions of people are starving in these countries. Thus, one cannot say from them that they are among the better presidents of the United States in general.
The definitive best "Secretary of Explainin' things" EVER!
I listen to this speech while I work out
I don’t care how old he’s; I still adore this man. He’s brilliant👌👌
this makes me want to vote democrat
I love how passionate he is 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸❤️💙
i cant for these two men to speak at dnc 2016...strength, charisma & intellect overload☺
It will certainly be better than all the dullards at the RNC who ALL are doing the same old fear-mongering and hate-speeches they always do.
DNC does just as much fear-mongering. No sense in deflecting or denying it, just look at how things were pushed at the convention, which was mostly putting fear into people's heads when talking about a Trump presidency from exaggerated opinions pushed as truths.
It goes equally on both sides. Both parties do their fair share, it's how they both bring in the masses in for a two-party system.
my reformed unorthodox rabbi bill clinton
We’re all in this together = what we always need
Wow I just cant watch this speech enough, it surely was one of the greatest speeches given in american history. People will be watching this speech 100 years from now.
this speech inspires as a leader thanks mr.president.
fyn and sure
Congrats Bill on winning the game of the year awards 2022 👏🏻 I didn’t know you love playing Elden Ring 😂
This sounds more like a concert than a speech.... 😌
"We are here to nominate a president..."
The entire world: "Please say you're running again"
He has done SO much for the world. I'll try my best to support his foundation!
Make this guy a king for god's sake
I can't wait to see Bill speak when Hillary gets the nomination
A man who speaks only his feelings and what I find odd is how he put the ego scandle of his time being president behind him after every one wanted him out of office. .. This man walked in when we walked out on him... Thank you Mr . Clinton for caring
This just may be the best speech I've ever seen!!!
If only he said :" We're here to nominate a President, and that's why I'm running for POTUS 2012"
Clinton kicked ass on this speech..loved it still watching 2021😘😘😘
Great example of communicating with clarity. A truly great speech.
Jeez!!! This man delivers a speech!!! OH YEAH!!!! He's just as wonderful as he always was and is!
No one is saying he's a good person, but no one can deny he was a great president!
He waged war against FR Yugoslavia. It was aggression.

@@xp8969 Many Serbs have been killed and kidnapped by terrorist organization kla. Clinton never said it could be genocide. NATO bombed civilian objects: tv stations, schools, bus, train crossing the bridge, columns of refugees. Those were crimes. It’s injustice that no one was convicted for that.

TO hear such influential leader's speech ,i am very much influenced by this speech
I wish i could relive the 90s!
It was such a great time in America during his presidency.
Everything fell apart after he left office, EVERYTHING.
I'm a linguist and have studied Bill Clinton's first inaugural speech extensively. This man has such a powerful control of the crowd. His voices flows so naturally, it's crazy. It sounds completely improvized, but works incredibly well when connecting with his audience. Clinton is by far the best speaker among all recent presidents.
Love how you are a linguist and Bill Clinton rocks!
Clinton doesn’t need a teleprompter he is too intelligent for that.
