Bill Clinton at the Democratic Convention

Bill Clinton said something important and memorable tonight. From the beginning of Barack's candidacy I felt the same way, but couldn't express it as eloquently:

An America in which innovation and creativity are encouraged and supported by government, education, and industry. A country that inspires the world by the example it sets.
