在星期三晚上向美国全国电视转播的演讲中，前美国总统克林顿正式向民主党全国大会提名奥巴马为总统候选人。

在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特举行的民主党全国大会重要时段发表演讲时，克林顿严厉抨击共和党，认为共和党的观点与现实世界脱节。

克林顿仍然受到很多美国人的欢迎，他们还记得克林顿在上世纪90年代当政八年期间的经济繁荣。

民主党全国大会要把罗姆尼塑造成一个商人的形像。克林顿今年早些时候说，罗姆尼的记录显示他是纯粹的商人。

在星期三的演讲者中，有三名曾被贝恩资本公司控制的公司解雇的雇员。贝恩是一家资产管理公司，罗姆尼是该公司的共同创建者，并担任了几年首席执行官。其中一人说，美国经受不起罗姆尼的经济模式。他表示，这种经济模式把利润置于劳动者之上。

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton has formally placed President Barack Obama's name up for the Democratic nomination during a nationally televised address Wednesday. 

Mr. Clinton fired at the Republican party during his prime time speech at the Democratic National Convention, calling the Republican narrative an "alternative universe."


Mr. Clinton remains a popular figure among many Americans who recall the economic prosperity during his two terms in office in the 1990s. 

The DNC aimed to strike at Mr. Romney's record as a businessman,  which Mr. Clinton called "sterling" earlier this year.

Among the speakers  Wednesday were three employees that were fired from companies controled by Bain Capital, an asset management firm that Mr. Romney co-founded and ran as CEO for several years. One of the employees said America cannot afford "Romney economics," which he said was "putting profits before working people."
