President Barack Obama owes former President Bill Clinton big time, if his "little white lie" works.  Clinton certainly tried to convince Americans that “No president, not me, not any of my predecessors — no one could possibly have repaired all the damage that [Obama] found in just four years,” Clinton said.

“But he has laid the foundations for a new, modern, successful economy of shared prosperity. And if you will renew the president’s contract, you will feel it. You will feel it.  The old "I feel your pain" President, the one that was dragged kicking and screaming to the center by Speaker Newt Gingrich (who actually saved Clinton's presidency back then) was in full view last night at the DNC convention.  President Bill Clinton can still mesmerize a crowd with his witty remarks and if you don't pay close attention to what he is spinning, you just may believe him.  Fortunately, many do pay attention and fact checkers prove much of what the man from Hope, inveigling for the man who campaigned on Hope and Change, does not paint the whole picture with his wonky numbers.
