DENVER (AP) -- Former President Clinton gave his full-throated endorsement to Barack Obama's bid for the White House on Wednesday, telling delegates to the Democratic convention that Obama is "ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world."
Clinton pushed back against attacks -- initiated by himself and his wife during the bitter primary campaign, and later taken up by Republican John McCain -- that Obama is ill-prepared for the White House, especially on matters of national defense.
He also suggested that on such weighty issues, Obama would be leaning on his seasoned vice president, six-term Sen. Joe Biden.
