Obama, President Clinton Meet

September
11

Apparently the hard feelings are behind them.

From Obama’s campaign:

“President Clinton and Senator Obama had a great conversation in Harlem today. They discussed the campaign briefly, but mostly talked about how the world has changed since September 11, 2001.

“Sen. Obama praised the work of the Clinton Foundation around the world and President Clinton applauded Sen. Obama’s historic campaign which has inspired millions around the country.

“They also spoke about what the next President can do to help make the economy work for all Americans, as it did under President Clinton, and ensure safety and prosperity far beyond the coming the election. President Clinton said he looks forward to campaigning for Senator Obama later this month.”

    bill is the key to winning for the democrat and Obama
    knows it..if bill goes to rural battleground state
    areas and talks the talk with those voters who
    are reluctant to vote for Obama because of his race
    or his views etc…he might be able to deliver two
    crucial states…michigan and ohio…and maybe
    virginia..if bill stays in Harlem, Obama gets nada

    Only the Demmocrats would idolized a felon and liar like Bill Clinton. But then, they love Ted Kennedy too and a lot of them liked John Edwards.

    Clinton can’t stand Obama, despite his lies to the contrary at the Convention. His many previous statements told the real story. The Clintons want Obama to lose, obviously.

    I wouldn’t count on Billy Boy going out of his way to help Obama.

    Jiminy …you need to understand that the average
    working class american in the battleground states
    identifies with Bill…..for various reasons..your
    take on him is accurate but reflects only those
    whose morals are above reproach…and you can
    imagine that among the “white working class”
    rosanne voters ..they are not one bit offended
    by the monica lewinsky episode..so strap yourself
    in..Obama is ahead right now in electoral votes
    but I am betting he is overpolling because of race
    (sorry to say..its the elephant in the room)
    but we need to confront the stark reality that
    12% of democrats in battelground states said
    they would not vote for an african american for
    president..I would ..but not this unqualified
    constitutional law professor who only 3 years
    ago was in the illinois state senate..not
    a resume that makes me feel good..jfk..who i supported
    by the way had years in the senate….as did barry
    morris goldwater….even clinton was not only governor
    twice but the head of the centrists movement in the
    democratic party….(I preferred poppy bush)and
    here is why Obama will lose…Michele…she is not
    able to sell herself as a plausible first lady
    too many issues…for the first time proud of her country
    give me a break

    I hear you, and I agree with almost all you said. I just don’t think Bill Clinton is going to jump through hoops for Obama. The Clintons, despite any platitudes they may offer in public, want him to lose and for Hillary to run in 2012.

    Cindy McCain was at Ground Zero today. I don’t think Michelle Obama was.
