'That's what I'm talking about:' Bill Clinton loved Barack Obama's speech
President Barack Obama's speech Thursday night was another piece of oratorical skill that managed to completely eviscerate Donald Trump while avoiding its target's cynicism. Plus he fired up most of the room at the Democratic National Convention to rally behind Hillary Clinton.
Full of barbs aimed at "The Donald" and packed with praise for the Democratic candidate, his 44 minutes on stage won over one audience member in particular: Bill Clinton.
The proud husband and potential First Gentleman, who gave his own rambling speech earlier in the week, clapped along to Obama's words.
