Democratic National Convention 2012 Schedule of Events; Sept. 6 - Foo Fighters, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Jonasson, Joe Biden
On Day 3 of the Democratic National Convention, Sept. 6, The Foo Fighters, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Joe Biden will take the stage, rounding off the night with the man of the hour giving his nomination acceptance speech - President Barack Obama.
The Democratic Party bumped Vice President Biden's address to Thursday night to create a virtuous moment for Clinton, who is currently enjoying a 66 percent approval rating, making him perhaps the most popular politician in America.
Clinton started off by praising President Barack Obama, but saved most of his speech to rebuke the Republican presidential campaign.
After his nominating address, Clinton, the country's 42nd president, was joined by Obama, the 44th, on stage. Both were welcomed with loud applause after which Obama was officially nominated by the nearly 6,000 delegates in attendance.
NBC skipped convention coverage on Wednesday to show the opening game of the NFL season - the Dallas Cowboys vs. the New York Giants.
President Obama and Vice President Biden will accept the Democratic nominations for President and Vice President on Thursday at Bank of America Stadium.
Obama will speak about his goals for the middle class in America, his plan to boost the economy, and highlight his past achievement from his four year presidency and the ones he can accomplish if he is president for the next four as well.
Thursday morning and afternoon will have council and caucus meetings at the Charlotte Convention Center. The events are free and open to the public.
In the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney claimed that Obama "throws allied under the bus."
"President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus, even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba. He abandoned our friends in Poland by walking away from our missile defense commitments, but is eager to give Russia's President Putin the flexibility he desires, after the election," he said. "Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone."
It will be interesting to see if Obama refers to Romney's comments during his speech on Thursday night and what kind things he will say in response about his opponent.
