First impression: Clinton's speech dared to defy idea that Americans don't want to hear specifics on trail on budget, deficit, taxes.

Bill Clinton's DNC arithmetic adds up to an avalanche of tweets

9/6/2012

Bill Clinton's address at the Democratic National Convention generated several trending hashtags on Twitter: #BillClinton (obviously), #ThereTheyGoAgain (a dig at failed Republican policies), and the standout, #arithmetic. That's the one-word answer Clinton says he gives when asked how his government managed four surplus budgets in a row. According to Clinton, "the arithmetic tells us" there's bad things in store if the GOP is put back in charge. On the other hand, Clinton believes "President Obama's plan... passes the arithmetic test." We'll find out in November if Clinton's arithmetic adds up to a victory for Obama.
