Former President Bill Clinton traveled to Montgomery County on Monday afternoon, seeking to rally supporters of President Barack Obama less than 24 hours before polls open in a state that was once regarded as solidly in the President's column.
Clinton, arguably the speaking star of the Democratic National Convention last summer, was on a tour of the state that was scheduled to take him to Pittsburgh, Blue Bell, and Philadelphia the day after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney rallied supporters in Bucks County.
An estimated 5,000 to 6,000 people, many shivering and standing close together for warmth, clustered into a grassy area outside the gymnasium of Montgomery County Community College.
"You're just standing out here in the cold. He's criss-crossed this nation," Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz said in introducing the president.
Ascending the dais to Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher," Clinton greeted the crowd, acknowledged local Democratic luminaries in attendance, and launched into his characteristically folksy oratory. He spoke for about 20 minutes.
"There are going to be a lot of important decisions in the next four years," Clinton said. "I want Barack Obama to be the 'Decider in Chief,'" invoking a description of the Presidency coined by Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush.
He credited Obama with "saving the U.S. auto industry" and said Romney had mischaracterized the auto bailout as an effort to export American jobs overseas.
"Who wants a president who will knowingly and repeatedly tell you something you know is not true?" Clinton asked, his voice occasionally becoming hoarse in the cold.
"When Governor Romney gets his hand caught in the cookie jar, he just digs down for more cookies," Clinton said.
Clinton was preceded at the rostrum by Schwartz, 6th District Congressional candidate Manan Trivedi, 8th District Congressional Candidate Kathy Boockvar, and Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro.
Have I mentioned that he strapped the family dog.to the roof rack in a cage for a long road trip? The poor animal was so traumatized that it's bowels let go and Romney only knew this because it began to flow down his windshield. We know this because he told us--he thought it was a funny anecdote that would humanize him. You've heard the expression it shouldn't happen to a dog? Well it did and that man thought it amusing...poor Seamus. I'm not thrilled with our choices tomorrow, but Mitt Romney lacks empathy, I see no love of his fellow man and worse than that I see a sea of people going to the polls willing to vote for him without a clue of what he stands for, what his plans are or what his actual record is. All they know is that they HATE Obama and most of them can't even articulate why. http://youtu.be/nY0M7IdNl7U

1. All this ranting about Benghazi has gotten you nowhere... and makes you sound like a talk radio zealot. 2. You are fighting a losing battle by ignoring every electoral group except White men. Demographics are already killing you and its only going to get worse so pandering to xenophobes and racists is a recipe for failure 3. Your party is going to change or die so be prepared for those changes to start right after this election loss. Smart Republicans will start that process right away since they understand this... 4. Romney is going to lose this election by enough of a margin for it to be decisive... all indications point that way. If you're reading this and still think Romney is going to win, you're wrong, you're not thinking clearly and are ignoring clear indicators... why not prepare yourself for that fact. 5. Stop talking long enough to listen... the rest of the country thinks you are a little crazy and very rude. Shut up already, you lost! OK that's it but it would pay some people to heed this advice, the old GOP is history starting tomorrow.

Good Night
Queue it up at 46 seconds and watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcZr0UtLgkI Jeep CEO: "Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China" http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-30/chrysler-ceo-reiterates-jeep-suv-production-will-remain-in-u-s-.html Now if anybody tries to tell you that Romney is not lying to you to sneak his way into office, there is your proof that he is lying. I can't break it down any more simply for people. Romney is a deceptive used car sales man. He will tell you whatever he thinks will get him what he wants. He tells the base that he is a extreme conservative and makes all the promises that the fringe extreme wants and then turns to the voters and says that he is a bi-partisan. These are not mutually inclusive positions. He is lying to somebody. Are you ready to risk if he is lying to you?
Pretty much personifying the conservative base.
Here's the reason that Romney will lose the 2012 presidential election. Ready, Aim, Fire....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLo0Jwj03JU No vitriol needed to understand right from wrong. For what it's worth, I've had business dealings with many Bain-style firms over my career. The partners, without exception, always spoke about maximizing their management fees and personal wealth as they sucked the life blood out of viable real businesses. This parasitic approach to business and profit is destroying the fiber of this country's industrial economy and the lives of the people who form its middle class. Spewing "facts" out of context is a waste of time. I'll have to put you in 'time out' if it continues.
