There was a huge, gaping hole in former President Bill Clinton's defensive speech in behalf of Barack Obama's bid for a second term.
He conveniently and dishonestly ignored or papered over all of painful failures of Obama's mediocre presidency throughout the past four troubled years. To use a speaking device Clinton repeatedly applied in his attack on former Gov. Mitt Romney's candidacy, the number of worsening policy problems that Obama was responsible for totaled "zero."
