CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Dozens of Vermonters traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina for the Democratic National Convention.
"I've never been in a city like this, pulsing with excitement and energy," says Mayor Miro Weinberger, D-Burlington.
Weinberger says one of the highlights of his first convention was the speech by former President Bill Clinton.
"It really felt like an important moment to have President Clinton joining President Obama," says Weinberger.
Weinberger says for President Obama to win in November he needs to explain what he did during the past four-years to fix the economy.
"People I think are being to understand this week, I think better than the past, the key decisions that President Obama needed to make to turn that situation around," says Weinberger.
Weinberger says while in Charlotte he was chosen to be one of the nation's "100 New Deal Leaders."
He says it's a chance to learn and share solutions to problems.
"I think it's a good thing for Burlington for me to be here this week," says Weinberger.
Weinberger says he thinks it's important that President Obama wins re-election. He says the president understands the problems of cities, such as pensions, and can offer help.
