Bill Clinton, in his speech tonight at the 2008 Democratic Convention, told the DNC crowd that he uneqiovocally believes Democratic nominee Barack Obama is "ready" to be president.

The speech was the Bill Clinton's strongest endorsement of his wife's former foe and aimed clean up some of his previous negativity about Senator Obama in the heat of the primary nomination contests in the first half of this year.

"Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world," Bill Clinton said in his speech at the 2008 Democratic national convention. "Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States..."

...Since Hillary Clinton pulled out of the race, Mr Clinton had been lukewarm in his support for Senator Obama and his speech today was eagerly anticipated to see how he would manage to stump for their once bitter rival.

Mr Clinton told the audience that Senator Obama had a "remarkable ability to inspire people".

Yesterday, Senator Clinton made a speech promising to do all she could to get Senator Obama elected over Republican John McCain at the November general election.

"That makes two of us," Mr Clinton said today.
