Local Delegate: President Clinton is 'Truth-Teller-in-Chief'

Democratic National Convention concludes tonight with speeches from Wisconsin Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin and President Barack Obama.

The Democratic National Convention is “going great” with additional speakers revving up the crowd, according to , who previously was the Waukesha mayor.

“Last night, President (Bill) Clinton's speech was incredible,” Nelson said. “I have been referring to him as the truth-teller-in-chief. I thought he did a fantastic job with giving the facts on the issues.”

Nelson had a view of the large teleprompter that lead Clinton through his speech. But as a former English teacher, Nelson said it was “fascinating” to see Clinton ad-lib throughout the speech.

“Many of President Clinton’s best lines were not prepared,” Nelson said.

The convention continues tonight with speeches from Democrats like Wisconsin Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, who is running against former Gov. Tommy Thompson for U.S. Senate. The convention concludes with President Barack Obama’s acceptance speech.

I, perhaps, misunderstand the supposed writings by Mr. Nelson that Bill Clinton is a "Truth-Teller...". Not even the real Larry Nelson himself would sincerely believe such a historically inaccurate characterization.
Good grief. No wonder why the Democratic Party membership continues to decline.

The man who looked Americans in the eye and lied is considered the Great American "truth teller" of the Democratic party? Hmmmm, there seems to be something wrong here.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.
