President Obama and VP Biden to Accept Party's Nomination

President Barack Obama and Vice President will formally accept the Democratic party's nomination for the Nov. 6 general election. Obama was officially nominated by the nearly 6,000 delegates that were at the convention.

According to the Democratic National Convention Committee, the president will lay out his vision to strengthen the middle class and boost the economy in order to move the country forward.

Obama was scheduled to give his acceptance at the Bank of America Stadium but severe weather forecasts have forced organizers to move back the proceedings to the Time Warner Cable Arena - the host site for the first three days.

"We have been monitoring weather forecasts closely and several reports predict thunderstorms in the area, therefore we have decided to move Thursday's proceedings to Time Warner Cable Arena to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and convention guests," said DNCC CEO Steve Kerrigan.

The DNCC said the energy and enthusiasm for the convention in Charlotte has been overwhelming and that they share the disappointment of over 65,000 people who signed up for community credentials to be there with the President in person.

The community credential holders and Americans across the country were encouraged to continue to come together with their friends and neighbors to watch and participate in history.

The President will speak to the credential holders on a national conference call tomorrow afternoon, and those unable to attend tomorrow's event will be invited to see the President between now and election day.

Obama will have a tough act to follow though.

Last night, former President Bill Clinton nominated Obama, becoming the first former president to nominate a siting president. Clinton presented his case as to why Americans should reelect Obama for another four years.

"I want to nominate a man whose own life has known its fair share of adversity and uncertainty," Clinton said. "A man who ran for President to change the course of an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election, saw it suffer the biggest collapse since the Great Depression. A man who stopped the slide into depression and put us on the long road to recovery, knowing all the while that no matter how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting, trying to feed their children and keep their hopes alive."

Clinton noted that since 1961, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years and the Democrats 24.

"In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector jobs," Clinton said. "What's the jobs score? Republicans 24 million, Democrats 42 million."

The 42nd President described Obama as one who is willing to work with his political rivals.

"One of the main reasons America should re-elect President Obama is that he is still committed to cooperation," Clinton said. "He appointed Republican Secretaries of Defense, the Army and Transportation. He appointed a Vice President who ran against him in 2008, and trusted him to oversee the successful end of the war in Iraq and the implementation of the recovery act...He appointed Cabinet members who supported Hillary in the primaries. Heck, he even appointed Hillary!"

Over the past two weeks, Republicans have been asking Americans, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" Senior Democratic officials have had trouble giving a solid response, but Clinton made a resounding case.

"President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did," Clinton said. "No President - not me or any of my predecessors could have repaired all the damage in just four years. But conditions are improving and if you'll renew the President's contract you will feel it. I believe that with all my heart."
