seriously… so sick of hearing the Clintons… let it go… Obama is the new face of the party.

I love Hillary's attack ads claiming Obama is hiding behind false attacks… really?

Right Bill… keep hanging in there

So true… So true…

Go Hillary!

CNN, as usual, you're putting a negative spin on this story and placing words in Bill Clinton's mouth.

Nowhere in this article did it say that Obama was "ignoring President Clinton's legacy". In fact, the President didn't even use words "me" or "I". He said "WE". As in Hillary and himself.

But as usual, your headline and story is written so that the reader would infer that Bill is on another one of his self-serving rants - that he's talking about himself again. Shame on you, CNN.

I don't think the Barack Obama is wrong for ignoring Bill Clinton's legacy. I think ignoring is the wrong word. I think irrelevance is the correct word. Why irrelevant? Because Barack Obama is running against Hillary Clinton and her own experience. This is like Laura Bush running for President and taking claim to what George Bush did.

Barack Obama is the only candidate running to unite the whole entire COUNTRY, Democrat and Republican in order to restore the Republic and break the Dynasty.

Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-?-?

Barack Obama '08′12

I don't think Obama is discounting the Clinton years. The message I get from Obama is that the old way will not work going forward. As a country, we need to look at both sides of the "aisle" and compromises must be made or nothing ever gets done. This is also the reason that McCain is the front runner for the Republicans. Both men are bringing a common sense approach to politics and their vision for the future of this country is well worth listening to.

Who does he think is running for president,himself? I've seen an embarresing sex scandal, weakened military and cia, terrorist bombings, leading to the destruction of the trade towers.

Give it up Bill and Hillary..
The only legacy you left was lies, deciet and a couple of stains in the oval office.
Go Obama!!

Poor Bill. Nobody appreciates him except Monica and Daddy Bush.

Bill Clinton, GO HOME!!! I am sooooo sick of this well educated red neck and a vote for Hillary IS a vote for 4 years of Bill Clinton!! Don't be fooled….he will be in our faces every day for the next 4 years if we elect her!!!

He's up to his old tricks again. Time for change, Vote OBAMA 08

The problem is all the Clintons know how to do is fight. They will fight even if t destroys the party.

We need to elect a winner in November, not only has Barak Obama been a winner is whole life beating corporate greed as a community organizer, winning scholorships at some of Americans best universities, Barrak Obama has won the last 8 primary contest in a row, won more delegates and states on Super Tuesday, February 5th, win the first primary in Iowa and is the most likly candidate to beat John Mcain in every poll taken since December. We need a winner to take on the republicans in November. Its time to stop fighting against each other and time to put a winning candidate forward in November. Vote for a winner. Vote Obama.

Why does EVERYTHING has to be about Bill Clinton. Psst Bill… it's not about you! Defending his honor is one thing. Defending his ego is another.

Stop whining Bill… we all know you think you are/were great…

Is Bill campaigning to be president or its Hillary?

No question that the 8 Clinton years were filled with prosperity. But how many people are still feeling that prosperity?

We need real change, not change that can easily be undone the next time a Republican is in office.

Note to Billiary: The White House is not a time share.

A good faith effort to unite the country is not synonymous with a fear of fighting for the principles and policies in which one believes. Surely our former President knows this.

Bill Clinton,

When will you realize that this election is not about you?

I think McCain Should Just Drop Out of the Race!!!!!
He can't beat Obama or Clinton…..
And Clinton is gonna beat Obama……
HUCKABEE is our next president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As we've seen before, it's all about Bill. Hillary wants all the credit for the good things that happened during Bill's administration, but doesn't even want to take the heat for her personal failures (health care) let alone the moral and policy failures of the Clinton administration (travelgate anybody?).

What DID you accomplish Bill? Oh yeah, perjury, impeachment trial, adultery, ignoring Bin Laden. I'm no Obama fan, but I have to admit he is wise to ignore your "legacy."

When Obama gets the nomination, will you and Hillary please go away?

Wow, that's as smooth a spoonful of nonsense as I've ever seen anyone serve. No wonder they called him Slick WIllie.

Well said Bill.

Mr. Obama's campaign is running on gas fumes.
It's all hot air, talk and rhetoric!
America needs to wake up to the fact that there is not fuel in his tank…
no substance or direction.

And with no fuel his presidency will go no where!

I agree with Bill 100%
Obama is under the idea that he will be able to step up to the plate, and get left field and right field to play on the same team. It's not that simple. He wants to bridge the left and the right, there's only one problem with that. The left believe strongly in one thing, and the right another. Take abortion for example. How do you bridge that? Stem Cell research… How do you bridge that? You don't. There is no middle ground to alot of these topics. The war in Iraq… how do you bridge that? Again, no middle ground. We need to fight the Republicans, not give them the chance to manipulate us like they have done in the past. Look at the current situation.

Bill's right - then again Obama is no better than anyone else. He's setting himself up to be the "perfect" person. There's no way you can be a President and be "perfect" - in other words, you're never going to please everyone - you may even have to accept money from lobyiests at some point and you may even have to sit down and talk with the enemy and Yes, if they bomb up big time again, we may even have another war! If he want's to be the "flawless" candidate then let's hold him to that. If he "unfortunately" gets the nomination, I will personally watch his every move to see every screw up he makes and I will Jot it down and throw it in his fact. My vote is Hillary and don't think I won't hold her to her promises either. I do believe in a Tit for Tat but I like Hillary - I see her as more Human.

Obama merely stated the fact. It is you, Bill, who lost the last bit of my respect because of your misrepresentations and distortions (plus playing the race cards several times in the danger of destroying your opponent and the party) on the campaign trail. The American people are forgiving, such as the intern scandal, but are not stupid. You can not rewrite history, Bill.

the clintons keep saying the are tough and can handle the republican attack machine, yet they seem to cry at every little thing Obama says, how on earth will hillary hold up to republican attacks??

Wow, how nice it is to reflect back onto the good old days. How's NAFTA woking out, BIl ? How about Hillarys vote for the war ?
It is so easy to think things were so great in the 90's, but all I'm getting is flashbacks to the Clintons way of running politics. Bickering and fighting and nothing getting accomplished. It is not the 90's, it will never be the 90's again, the sooner we acknowledge this the sooner we can make the changes we need for our future. Bill, please go build a library or something…

With all due respect, Mr. President… there are many people who are trying to forget the other legacy you left.

…… any accomplishments they achieved…..

Is Bill Clinton refering to what he and the wife achieved, or what his government achieved when he was in office?? He should come out clean on this.

I would prefer he spends more time to beg for forgiveness from American people for his infidelity.

If I recall, didn't Mr. Clinton run on the same platform. WE NEED A CHANGE IN WASHINGTON.
Also why should we reconize HIS White House term. I thought this was about HIS wife. What a joke.
Like I said before, we do not have royal families in this country.
28 years of the same two families (Bushes & Clintons) what a scary thought.
Wake up people

OBAMA '08

Legacy? A legend for performing in the Oval Office, right Monica? Clinton Arrogance…… Go away.

Bill, it is not about you. Get over it.

As much as Jesse Jackson's time has come and gone, your time has come and gone.

We need new leadership in Washington.

good story, but misleading headline = shame on CNN!

and this is why Bill has gotten so edgy this primary season, because he knows that Obama can be a bigger deal than Bill was/is and he cant accept that, forget whats good for the country, because its not good for Bill. i loved Bill as president, but he's starting to erode away his own legacy.

Bill,do you mean things like NAFTA ,selling out to Communist China and exporting our jobs to India?

Good point but it kind of makes the case for McCain too. The biggest thing we Hillary supporters need to push is that Obama represents "politics as usual" just as much as those he says are too much "politics a usual". His remarks are negative now even though he said he was above that. He is pushing to change the rules about superdelegates while criticizing Hillary for trying to include Florida and Michigan. He is "flip flopping" on using public money if nominated. Doesn't sound like much change from "politics as usual" to me. Hillary applauds the political process for being the realistic agent of change - looking to the past to see how to do better in the future.

I'm sorry is this election a mandate on your presidency or are we voting for your wife?

I seem to remember that Clinton's legacy is one of profound disappointment and missed opportunities. So much more could have been done for ordinary Americans and the poor. But the lapse in personal and political judgment and discipline paved the way for the destructive and incompetent governance we have today.

Bill Clinton ignores the fact that he's not running for President and that Hillary cannot be credited with his accomplishments in the 1990s (much in the same way that she should not be credited for Bill Clinton's scandals in the White House). Hillary is her own person and has to run on her own record. She voted for the Iraq War and has to live with that record. To say that she did so naively is clearly a sign that she did not have the guts to stand up to President Bush when it was unpopular to do so. Barack Obama not only opposed the war: he specifically stated, in 2002, that any war would result in a horrible occupation which would drain resources and lives.

Mr. Clinton, your wife keeps on talking that she's ready to be President from Day 1, despite the fact that she has been wrong since 2002. I would rather have a President who was right 6 years ago.

Yes, it is unbelievable. I agree 100%. But just wait to see all postings with people in denial about their magnificent zero-flaw candidate.

…and EXACTLY what does your so called "legacy" have to do with this election? Unless you really do consider this a possibility for your 3rd term in office, which, at least in spirit, should be a violation of our Constitution. We all know you have been engaged in revisionist history to facilitate some kind of legacy from your mediocre Presidency.

Wow, this man is delusional.

If you AGREE on a regulation PRIOR to putting it to the test, you abide by the result. (if you have any decent character at all)

How can we TRUST lawyer H R Clinton who FIRST AGREES to the regulation and when the result turns unfavorable to her purpose, QUERIES the prior agreed REGULATION and fights it?

How can we vote for such type of character to even become THE PRESIDENT?

Do we really need more liar-lawyers in the world's top office?

Let's hear about Mr.Clinton, the good, the bad, and the ugly moments of your presidency; Hmmm….Do you really want to go there ?

Again, who's running to be president Bill or Hillary?

I'm sorry I didn't know Bill was running for President, I thought his wife was, and I just don't remember a lot of accomplishments she had in the 90's. Bill needs to get a life and quit worrying about how many doors it will open for new and exciting interns.

Boo hoo hoo! This is why hispanics need to back obama. Former President Clinton needs to open his eyes. Obama's plan on Universal Healthcare is a better option. Why would you force some people to have insurance when they don't want it. As for Iraq, how can that government fix themselves when we are their only example.

I think the earlier Hilary gets Billy Boy back into his cage the better before he starts biting those he'll later regret.
I just don't see where Obama has ignored his legacy on this campaign.

Bill Clinton should not bring up his "legacy", with the rise of oral sex being bandied about. Who ever spoke of such things before Monica and her antics with Bill came to the forefront?!

Obama, as a senator, is VERY much part of the political machine that he campaigns against.

It's a nice political ploy to say that Hillary is "more of the same."

But how exactly did Obama use his ability to "bring people together" the past few years in the Senate?

We need solutions, someone that can walk the talk.

LOLOLOLOL…The Clinton legacy? The only legacy I remember was Bill Clinton costing us $80 million to define the word "is", and " I never had sex with that woman".

So what is Obama to honor?

LOL, what a joke

Bill Clinton should not blame Obama.
It does not work at all because Obama is ignorant.
He only knows the word "HOPE" and "CHANGE".
I am not sure if he knows what those word mean though…

Bill Clinton- good president-lousy politician.
When he says Obama has already taken 4 good candidates out and hasn't taken Hillary out because of her guts and determination.
Does this mean Hillary should have taken those 4, instead of Obama?
What would he have said if she had done just that?

Go Bill Go!!!!! We Love & Believe in Hillary. She can beat McCain and she will make a Great President, because she has the experiance and she is a hard worker!!!!! You go Girl!!!! Don't let the "Media" beat you!

Bill Clinton: "WORSHIP ME!"

I remember your presidency quite well and many people in this country are trying to remove it from there memories. I give you credit for lowering our deficit but in between the terrorist attacks overseas and the sex scandals I can’t stand hear the word Clinton or even considering putting one back in office. I and many others will vote republican if your wife gets the nomination.

Bill should sponsor a bill to let him run for a third term.

Although I am still unsure of who I will vote for these two Democratic candidates are making it really hard to choose between them. Hillary Clinton has more substance on the issues but seems cold at times. Barack Obama hasn't really given us an idea on how he plans to make good on all his promises. I like his message so far but I need to hear specifics. I hope that these two candidates keep it clean enough that they would consider each other as a running mate in November.

Shame on you, CNN, How can you use this title to "tell" this?! Your all staff
are just trash! Shame on you!

At least Bill is out in the open finally. It's all about him.

Hillary's experience shows that she has crossed party lines. And she has stuck her ground on other issues as well. How can we trust someone who seems more and more to be sounding like George W Bush when he claims he's going to unify the country etc…I have heard that before. Hillary has not only said that but she actually shows a track record of acting on it as well. Action speaks louder than words! So far OBAMA is full of words and no action! WHERE IS THE BEEF?

Experience matters!

GO HILLARY!!

Bill Clinton, get over yourself!! Your time has come and gone.

So, who's campaign is this anyways? What a joke. He wants to be co-president.

Oh, and by the way Bill, what in God's name makes you think the business community and medical community are behind universal health care? Not even 100% behind, even 50% behind it????

Have you no shame? Will you say ANYTHING to get in office again?

I am really freightened for the US. Apparently we have lived in wealth and safety so long that the young generation has no idea of the problems that can arise. We haven't had a war wrecking our own country since the Civil War. We haven't had to sacrafice since the great depression. No one knows how anymore. And we are heading down that path again, with so many of the younger generation foolishly buying into the "change" message of Obama, who has no idea, apparently, from his speeches, how to bring about this change, but as he delivers his inspirational but empty speeches in his ringing baritone voice, everyone melts. For heavens sakes, people, try to learn some of what is going on. We need Hillary. She is the only one who MAY still be able to get something good made from this mess. I hope we aren't too far gone for anyone to help, but she is the one who will be most able. She has experience in how Washington works, which is going to be needed to get anything done. Obama thinks he can just say something inspiring and opposing senate and house members will all suddenly agree. That leaders of other countries will suddenly agree. It won't work, folks. He need more experience in somethng besides beautiful speeches, that are at least partially written, I am sure, by others, and read from the teleprompter.
WE NEED HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

His legacy of …"I did not have sexual relations with that woman…" and impeachment proceedings. The highest office in the country demands the highest moral obligation to the citizens of that country. Bill Clintons legacy is best remembered when put into context.

the advantage isn't lack of experience, its lack of BAGGAGE!

Former President Bill Clinton is extremely intelligent in his understanding of politics in this country and worldwide, and is well liked. He also understands people of all walks of life, Mr. Clinton does not live in a bubble. He believes Hillary should be the next President and I trust his judgement. And, by the way, I believe she should be the next president. I am 58 years old and have been without healthcare for the last 7 years.

I was an enthusiastic supporter of Bill Clinton through the good times and the bad but his recent actions have been so negative, so desparate that he is making a fool of himself.

By the way, Bill's inactive responses to terrorists is the reason 911 occurred…what a legacy.

I guess Bill realy wants the White House back.
The more He speak…the more Obama looks like the nominee.
No more Billary.

Bill Clinton will say anything to get back in the White House.

Bill Clinton is right. Has anyone noticed that Obama has succeeded in dividing the Democrats between; Young & Old, Rick and Not Rich, Balck and Hispanics, Male and Female. I thought Obama was a "coming together" message. Also, he is for Change? From what to What.

A vote for Obama is a Step back not forward. His resume is that he is a Community Organizer. Does that make him Presidential Timber or just a splinter. I rest my case.

Bill always says it best. He articulated what I've been struggling to share with others. I think it's a grave error to either dismiss or not acknowledge the accomplishments of former President Clinton. He took over huge a deficit and put our Nation back in the black. He genuinely cared about our country and its people. And his success was due to his experience, toughness, and fearlessness. Hillary not only has the guts and the experience, she is an undaunted force and she brings with her the necessary toughness along with complete confidence. Her backbone can't be broken. Obama, I fear, will be unprepared for the mud on Day One and will be chewed up & spit out much like former President Carter. Carter is an exemplary person, but he was naive and ill-prepared. Hillary will face, stand up, and possess no fear to take on any adversity on Day One! Go Hillary! Give it all you got!

In many ways our country is going to the dogs so we should take this election very serious but many voters seem to care more about the looks and the age of the candidate than what he or she knows. Experience is not a bad thing to have in politics, especially when it comes to leading the country. Star power, looks and, race should not derail this election or America is going to sink even deeper down in the world stage.

i wish someone would kindly remind bill that he is not the one running for president.

Bill somehow manages to get himself back in the race again.

Interesting the way Republicans and Obama mention Ronald Reagan, and yet, Obama avoids mentioning all the good that took place during the Clinton years. Now I know you don't want to compliment your opponents' husband, but from an economic standpoint, the Clinton years were certainly the best in my lifetime. During good old Reagan's time the interest rates on home mortgages were 15%, certainly not a good thing. And look what Bush has done with the huge deficits he has built up. And furthermore, I don't think Bill Clinton made a false statement regarding Obama's stand on the war in Iraq. Obama's folks were just itching to find something they could make into a race issue before the South Carolina primary and they were successful. The Clintons have never been racists and to make them out as such was a false accusation on the part of the Obama campaign and their supporters.

You go Bill! As someone said on another news site, "Obama is a poser." I would add that his failure to acknowledge the successes of your presidency - and how he has benefited from them - reveals the depth of his immaturity and increasing arrogance. Keep it up! People who experienced the prosperity of the 90s need to be reminded that you should not be written off and lumped into the same category of GW Bush, whose presidency, no doubt, we all long to forget.

Riiiiiight….because it's always about Bill, now isn't it?

Bills the man.. Hillary for president

Of course he ignores your legacy Bill, he could care less about all the good things you accomplished. Obama's policy is to minimize you at all costs, because the better you look, the better it looks for your wife. According to Obama he is going to save us from ourselves, because he is just so much smarter than everybody else! What a joke, put a person with good oratorical skills in front of the American people and they start to act like sheep. Never mind the fact Obama has flip flopped on issue after issue. Never mind Obama lives in a house bought for him by a slum landlord! Never mind the fact Obama desires collosal defeat in Iraq and amnesty for Al Qaida along with illegal immigrants. Do my fellow democrats actually think this bag of hot air is electable? Please, wake up people! Can we really afford another four years of a completly inept President? I think not! If Obama gets the democratic nod I will vote republican for the first time in my life!

Vote Hillary 2008!

So is Bill running or is Hillary running?

Go Bill Clinton, Go Bill Clinton, go!!!!!!

Same old same old. This is getting so tired. Lies, lies and a simple misrepresentation thrown in here and there for effect. Give it a rest Bill.

Obama is the future. Even for old folks like you and me. Embrace it for the good of us all.

Yes We Can

President has every right to defend his presidency. The USA' budget was balanced for the first time in years, the world loved him and America was a joy to live in.

Hillary was there as First Lady. I'll never forget their accomplishments.

They can make a big deal about their time in office because it was a Big Deal!

Well said. As an African American I'm amazed at the limited memory some of us can have. Where was Obama when Bill Clinton was on the front line looking out for the interest of people of color? Change is good but do you throw out people over 40 to make way for some new school? If so what would Martin Luther King mean today? Nothing? Here's another question why is that Hillary won all the the counties of the NY State primary and Obama lost at least 12 of his??????

Ole Bill is at it again.
ME,me,me…Its not about you Bill. And why do someone want a medical plan that you MUST PAY FOR EVEN IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT?

as a former HUGE fan of bill- i have one thing to say- THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!!!!! Just go away. You are ruining your own legace by being obnoxious, slimy and rude. How dare you make this about YOUR legacy. Obama will build on the wonderful things you did. Just please, please go away

Ok Bill, get over it. It's not about you anymore.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY !!!!!! WE NEED YOU. YOUR SLOGAN SHOULD BE " I KNOW WE CAN "

Support Hillary

Omaba 2016!!!!!!! Yes we can.

In his votes at the Senate, Barack Obama folded when he had to fight. He's contention was the majority of the Senate was Republican, so there was no point fighting.

Is this what we need for our next president?

Hillary has Solutions for America!
We need action, not talk!
Talk is cheap!

In complete agreement to President Bill, let me also add one more point - Mr. Obama is on a path of war and creating division in American society between those who attained recognition and contributed to society and while doing so also made many mistakes versus those who are never subjected to any test or challenge but are very eager to see a change, very eager to find mistakes with eagle's eye to the formers' hard earned respect, may be not all good, may be not without controversy, may be patchy - but shaping USA as one of the most sought after place to live and marvel.

I wonder, why those wonderful and respected patriots of this country never fought election, telling how metamorphosis of America could be possible!!! Thanks.

Give it a rest……(forever)……Bill! He continues to shoot Hillary in the foot - not himself… Hillary.

Who's running for President?
Why does Bill insist on turning the spotlight away from the real Candidates.
Matter of fact who wants a co-presidency. or a dynasty.
I say vote Obama!!

Oh my gosh is this dude serious lol!

Good ole Clinton, If i were you i would completely stay out of this and hold onto whatever piece of my legacy is left.

can Bill Clinton please shut up?

this is not about him, he's ego and he's legacy. this is about the next president of these United States.

Sen. Barack Obama is hopefully has not ignored the lessons of President William J. Clinton's legacy - government shutdown, White House scandals and impeachment trial - and the reaction to that legacy, which lead to the elect of George W. Bush and the last seven plus years of disasters. The USA can not afford a rerun of these Presidencies by electing a clone of either President in 2008!

sounds like whinning to me…. whew, give it up.

Way to go!! It's good that someone is finally calling his bluff!!

Bill Clinton's biggest legacy, sadly, is 8 years of George Bush. By failing to prioritize his duties as the most powerful leader on Earth over his desire for a quick whatever you want to call it, Bill Clinton gave the Republican's the opening they needed to drag the country into moralistic and partisan squabbles, and helped lose Al Gore what should have been an easy victory. I am not saying Bill's infidelities should matter more than his other accomplishements, just that that is how in fact it has turned out.

Here we go again…it's all about Bill and his egotistical ranting! Yes, his presidency did accomplish some things, but most were, in my opinion, despite him and his First Lady. We do not need him any where's near the White House again.

Mr. Obama is being a gentleman in ignoring Mr.Clinton's White house record.Can anyone spell impeachment.As for Hillary's,do we have
universal health care.No,but we have the 100 year ware she supported.

I don't think we're only talking about "fighting" here. It is about fighting dirty and threatening those who oppose you with being closed out of the process and/or political vendettas. It's pretty mainstream knowledge these days that Hillary and the Clinton administration "fought" in the slimy realm. That rarely helps one gain anything but enemies.

Will somebody please tell me who is running for the Democratic Presidential ticket? I thought it was Hillary. Or is it Bill? I am so confused.

It seems truly pathetic that a former President of the U.S., who I voted for twice, has to criticize his wife's political rival for not paying enough attention to his accomplishments.

Clinton,
It is not about you. It is about the country.

Let it go Bill. You are a legend in your own mind. If you would spend half the time you spend defending your legacy on advocating for your wife, she might actually have a shot. But then it wouldn't be all about you and we know you're just not capable of doing that. Too bad for Hillary.

I had tremendous respect for Bill Clinton's presidency.
Unfortunately Bill Clinton managed to damage his OWN legacy by his disgraceful attacks on Obama.
What is he going to do next ? Hire Karl Rove to go after Obama ?

Bill Clinton, stop it and bow out gracefully !

Here we go again: me, me, me. Poor lil Bill isn't getting enough attention about his White House legacy.

I completely agree with Pres Clinton. Mr Obama has led most people to believe that everything about the past has been bad, including the Clinton years. I'm really curious though to see who Mr Obama will pick for his cabinet and his top advisers, if he becomes president. Almost certainly, he will have to pick some former Clinton advisers sice they were the last Democrats to run the White House. If he belives he can pick a cabinet and advisers with no prior White House experience, he (and the country) would be in a a very rude awakening. I am very proud of the past achievements of Pres Clinton.

The thing is, Bill, that I remember when Hillary tried to make health care happen when you were in office. God bless her for trying, but the Republican party loves to hate her and fought tooth and nail to stop it.

If she is elected, I just see a big repeat. She is polarizing, so despite her good intentions very little is going to get done.

She and Obama have similar goals, but he has the opposite effect on people. Something about him makes us draw together.

Every time I begin to leave a comment directed at the Clintons I erase it because I am not going to be sucked in to what's harmed our country for so long. He elicits anger in so many people and do does Hillary. I am a woman, who thought long and hard about who to support. It's a no -brainer when you think about who is capable, truly capable of doing more good for our county. I admire Hillary for the work she's done in NY. But I admire Barack more for who is truly is — an honest, brilliant thinker and doer, an organizer (look at how he's managed his campaign for one) , a loving, supportive father and husband, a politician like the nation has not seen in decades — a well respected uniter who has proven he can work across party lines to get things done. Let's chose someone positive over someone who's negative and we'll begin to experience the change that we've all wanted for a long time. OBAMA 08

People, are these the kind of people we want leading our country?

From one day to the next, they keep reaching for nonsense to try and discredit the opposition.

This is really getting old.

I hope more and more, the voters see that these two people, the Clintons, have serious problems.

I voted for Mr. Clinton twice and now I am ashamed to say I did. I even stood by him through his impeachment ordeal but now, I am wishing I hadn't.

Please stop Hillary and Bill. I am really sick and tired of being sick and tired of listening to all the lies and garbage and hostilty.

Hooray Bill!
Finally exposing the fact that "tricks" are used in all campaigns.

How can Obama call himself a "Washington outsider" when he's serving in the same Senate that Hillary is serving in? How can Obama talk about Hillary's funds when one of his biggest dealers Tony Rezko is now in trouble with the law? How can Obama preach "change" and "new direction" when his campaign fails to tell the American people exactly HOW he'll achieve change? How can Obama talk about fighting for every vote when he refuses to participate in the upcoming Wisconsin debate?

If it's "change" and a "new direction" that America wants, then it's time for Hillary. She has the experience and courage to lead on Day One without a false message of hope and change. She's the only person who can REALLY bring change to Washington with her rigorous healthcare plan and her ability to learn from mistakes!

We will not only win Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, but we will win the White House. Americans deserve better than speeches that excite them–they need ACTION. Hillary has proven through her experience that she can do that!

Hillary failured miserable on health-care-issues in the 90´s, she will do so in future. I think, she´s doing well in splitting people. Every democratic candidate has good solutions, but because of her previous performance and her character (dirty campaigning) I´m now for Obama.

good grief

It seems to me that while Bill and Hillary are TALKING about what they will do to unite the country in order to get healthcare legislation through Congress, Barack is actually DOING it by demonstrating a real talent for organizing, motivating, and inspiring people.

The reason I won't support a return to the Bush/Clinton politics of the past is simple: I have a good memory!

Go Bill! You put those floozies in their place!

Why does Bill Clinton feel personally attacked by the Obama campaign? This election is about Barack versus Hillary, not Barack versus Bill and what Bill did during his presidency. Obama is about finding new, innovative and effective solutions for today's America - the America of 2008, not the 1990s. It's a different world now.

Excuse me Mr. Clinton, but this presidential election is not about YOU. Mr. Obama is not required to highlight YOUR career. Clearly, if Hillary were to get into office (which I doubt will happen thanks to you, and thank goodness) you would undoubtedly be pushing you way into everything. Bill, please, it is time for you to be quiet now.

I am so tired of hearing about the clinton legacy, this is just one of the reason's that we need some one new in the white house. All the clintons care about is tring to get a name like the Kennedy's have in this country. They will do whatever it takes to do just that! Bill and hill true colors have come out since this primary has begain, and trust me, it has nothing to do with the color black! As a african American in this country I will not forget what has been said or done to Obama, they think that the black man and woman of this country will forget 'BUT' we wont, and that you can bet your campaign on! I love to see you spin this one billary, I will not sit on my vote as I blieve a lot of African American's will! "NO" I will vote republican if they or the superdelecates try to take the nomination away from Obama! That I promise you, you wont this country split in two, then all I can say is that you asked for it and this is what you will get, the ball is in your court, what are you politicians going to do with it?

Poor Bill…He doesnt get enough of negative criticism.
Go Obama 08!!

I did not realize Obama offended President Bill and President Hillary for THEIR work in the 90's…,.

Remind me again who is running for President?

Wake up and smell the roses America… Where is Obama getting his money from…. Dont end up with another Bush in office.

I have not been swayed by Obama the Cheerleader.

It concerns me that he has been a Senator for four years, much of which he has been on the campaign trail.

Obama has missed crucial senate votes because he chose to not show up.

What concerns me the most is that he seldom discusses issues IN DEPTH.

Obama is going to be the Dem nominee, but I am going to write in John Edwards when Oregon has its primary (yes, folks, there are plenty of states that are being disenfranchised when it comes to the final nominee).

Obama has the media feeding the American people Kool-Aid and they are drinking it by the truck loads. He will win and then the media will go against him and ensure McCain wins giving the republicans another 4 years.

WAKE - UP people

Bill Clinton was a good president. Obama will be an even better president.

OBAMA '08

Obama is doing everything to discredit the clinton's. Except talk about his lack of experience. Lack of orginal thought. Experience is the word of the day. You can talk of change, but unless you have a plan on paper then you have nothing. He has not addressed the lack of health care in this country. I have seen first hand how people are struggling to buy prescriptions, pay doctor and hospital bills. It is a disgrace. hillary is the best choice for president.

past vs future bill

Why Bill Clinton do this again?Is he on the Election or his Wife? I think Hillary want only to be the first female President.
I am from Germany and really interested in the Election, we have a great Friendship to the USA since alot Years.
I think when she deside to be Candidate for the party she should show people her Campaign and being honest. She really think that attack the other Candidate helps her Campaign? She kick herself out of the race when she not stop ding this.

I'm no Obama fan. But Bill is just bucking for the co-presidency with comments like this. If Hillary goes on to lose the nomination (which is looking more and more likely), I think one could make a good argument that Bill's egotistical rants were a major cause of her downfall. Bill, don't go away mad, just go away!

Negative attack legacy? I beg your pardon.

He is right. Obama is totally ignoring Bill Clinton. He does not care about the party. He only cares about "Yes, we can". Who are "we"? I still do not get it.

Why should Obama bring up the Clinton White House? Or does Bill refer to all the scandals that so resembled a Soap Opera. Doing the Democrats a favour by NOT bringing him up!

I couldn't agree more with President Clinton's remarks. Obama's contention that he can "heal this nation" — that somehow he has the ability to placate Republicans even though he is widely viewed as the most liberal person in the senate — is either naive or disingenuous.

Hillary Clinton '08.

After weeks of the Clinton Campaign faltering, we now understand what experience she got for 8 years in the White House in organisation. Her initial team is proving by their dismissal that non-professional considerations were used in hiring them. Clinton's inability to manage her campaign budget is ridiculous. On the contrary we have seen a tip of Obama's ability to put a team together and work them towards achieving goals. Indeed they are learning along the way and their experience now is momentous, while Clinton has to midway go back to the drawing board and learn from the Obama Campaign. This would likely take Obama to the white House a first and second term. Americans now know who is more experienced. Fly high Obama.

oh he ignored Bill's fine job of solving Social Security, Healthcare, dependence on oil and paving the way for George W. Bush?

Country needed Bill after Busch I and needs Hill after Busch II.

I think it is not a coincident that Hillary Clinton has embarked on such a negative PR campaign against Sen. Obama at this point in the Democratic nomination process.

History is repeating itself once again. She went negative after she lost in Iowa, and now she is going negative in Wisconsin, Ohio, Hawaii, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Wow!

If one's actions are indicatives of the character, ethics, and leadership; then I think Hillary Clinton would not be good for America. She would not be a good president or vice-president.

I had planned to vote for her in the upcoming Texas Primary, but now I will vote for Sen. Obama because Hillary Clinton has proven she has more experience in ignoring the issues and attacking her opponent.

You had a good run in the white house Bill, but your actions wasn"t all good. Remember Monica, it cost us the 2000 election. Gore had to many of your bags to carry . What is to happen if you slide again Bill? Will this give way to Jeb Bush, who is waiting in the wings for the 2012 election? Maybe another Bush will have to clean up the moral actions of another Clinton term? God forbid that!

The country needed a Bill after Busch I and needs Hill after Busch II

Didn't the Obama campaign say they weren't going to get nasty?…Obama's campaign manager calling President Clinton …"old Bill Clinton" isn't particulary nice. Furthermore, when did Obama ever say he was going to give us universal healthcare? If I recall he was going to leave out 15 million Americans in his plan…that's not quite universal. The Obama campaign needs to call a meeting to make sure everyone is on the same page…not a good sign America…are you listening?

Somebody tap Bill on the Shoulder & Tell Him:
Hey Bill, your not running for President!!! Your History was made, You had your success and scandel in the Office!!! Move to the side, and take your wife with you. Time to let Obama in to take care of this country!!! You should Focus more on being "faithful" to your wife, then trying to stop a movement that can be stopped

He's making his legacy alright. He's more slimy now than he was in the White House. The country is tired of the slimy Clintoons.

Bill you're full of it! This election's about Hillary, but it's clear that you're making it about YOURSELF! You're one of the most selfish people I've ever seen on the political scene and we're sick of your ego. Stop trashing other people and go focus on your philanthropy. Then people might think more highly of you and your legacy.

Yeah, lets start talking about all the "good" things the Clintons did in the 90's.

I wonder which election Bill Clinton is following. I thought after South Carolina, he will stop talking. The more is talk, the more he makes a fool out of himself. Bill Clinton has to understand that time has changed. He did not good things in the 90s. We are in 2008, we need change. We need a new generation of leaders in the USA. Bill Clinton has to understand that.

Give it a break Clinton, I like you but it seems like your wife would rather the Dems lose the general election than let Obama win the primaries. Enough with the negative attacks, focus on the important goal of bringing down the Republican party, they've done more to destroy your legacy than anyone.

President Clinton, stop being so sensitive. If your wife is running as an incumbent, then you have to be prepared to get criticized for those 8 years. Senator Obama has said multiple times that he admires President Clinton and that good things happened in the 90s…but he is right today is the 21st century and we do have to move forwards.

Oh and by the way…RWANDA RWANDA RWANDA..enough said.

I sympathesize with you Bill Clinton, but lets face it your not running this race your wife is. Now sit back and enjoy the wild ride like a good spouse.

I just saw the movie "The Rwanda Hotel" and I started thinking about all of the atrocities that the Clinton administration ignored causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Remember Bosnia???
Yes Bill, I do remember you.

FEATHER WEIGHT OBAMA IS A GOOD MAN AND A PATRIOT, BUT THIS IS'NT AMERICAN IDOL.

TO GIVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT AN AMATURE OBAMA IS, A FEW MONTHS HE CLAIMED IF HE WAS PREZ HE WOULD BOMB THE EXTREAMESTS IN NORTHERN PAKISTAN. ONLY PROBLEM IS PAKISTAN IS A NUCLEAR ARMED ALLIE. THIS CAUSED A DIPLOMATIC DUST STORM.

THIS AMATURE IS ABOUT TO HAND THE NEO CONS THE WHITE HOUSE, WE ALL KNOW WE NEED A HEAVY WEIGHT LIKE HILLARY TO WIN BACK OUR DEAR WHITE HOUSE.

Wow…….thats sounds kinda weirdooo….

trying to ignore any accomplishments they achieved during their years in the White House,What did she achieved?

What ever happened to Hillary being the only one running in this Clinton campaign? That was short-lived…

Bills accomplishments were evident from country's economy in 1990s and the surplus money he left for his successor to siphon out to middle east and Pakistan.

Preach it Bill, the Greatest President of All Time….until Hillary!

With accomplishments like NAFTA and GATT, I wonder why Obama isn't touting Clinton's legacy. Billary might just get what he/she asked for.

Oh god! How dare Obama ignore Bill Clinton's legacy in the white house?!?! Because you know, molesting interns and lying to the American people is one hell of a legacy!

Bill should not forcefully extract recognition from Obama. His two times Vice President, Al Gore failed to use Bill Clinton's name when he ran for president. At personal level, is Bill saying he would be the one managing the White House? Too bad for her supporters.

Bill Clinton is totally right in what he is saying. Regarding universal healthcare, it is Obama that is standing in the way of change.

And why does Obama ignore Clinton's legacy? Why doesn't Obama understand that sometimes good people make others mad?

Obama's campaign manager is wrong. Obama is trying to swiftboat us into another 4 years of a president without experience.

Hillary 08

Great headline. Don't worry Bill (and we know you're worried), no one will forget the legacy you left. No one.

-K

Billy, it's your wife that is running for the office. What you did was great, but we are not re-ellecting you.

Is Bill now giving Hillary credit for his presidency? Are we supposed to consider any of his accomplishments as president to be hers as well ? Maybe he's just back to being confused about exactly which one of them is running against Obama…

Bill, we lifelong Democrats cannot ignore the fact that your bad conduct in the Oval Office, and Hillary's enabling of that bad conduct on your part over the years, essentially gave us eight years of George W. Bush and his cronies in 2000. All because you couldn't keep your pants zipped at work. That's your sorry legacy. So, stop whining and go home. You've done enough harm to the Democratic Party. It's time to move over and let some new folks start undoing the damage you've done.

Bill Clinton is not relevant anymore

But, his time was one of the most divisive in America. I am not sure I want to see that happening again.

While the Clinton Presidency was a properous, relatively peaceful time for America, this campaign isn't about Bill's Presidency or legacy. It's about changing the direction this country has taken the past 7 yrs. Obama is campaigning for himself, promoting the direction he feels this country needs to go in the next 4-8 yrs. Why would he or should he want to campaign on President Clintons's legacy? That's Hillary's job if that's the platform she wants to run on. Talk about ego's..

Oh boo, hoo. Grow up Bill. So what?

How dare Obama insinuate the Clinton years didnt matter.
What has this jerk done? Nothing.

From what I remember of your "legacy", I'd think you would want it ignored.

Ignoring a legacy…….cheating on your wife in the oval office and narrowly avoiding impeachment? Is the the legacy Bill would like Obama to emphasis.

Legacy? Oh yes an excellent LECAGY. The first WTC attack, the USS Colt attack, the two embasies in Africa, the attack on the Kobai Towers. Yup that is his legacy

Legacy?!!!! Dont jou have any sense of shame? Gooo home !

The legacy of being the 2nd President Impeached? I wouldn't want to talk about that either.

Two things, a) Is the election a refendum on former pres. clinton's white house? b) It seems to me sntr. clinton is running on the pres. clinton's whitehouse record, if so why does she (and he) only cherry pick on the good and not take heat on the bad! What hypocrites!

I am so happy to see that you are finally publishing something positive about Bill Clinton!!!!

The Clintons had eight years to resolve the problem of Universal Health Care in our country.
Unfortunately, a vast part of that time was squandered on creating a scandal in the White House.
Not to mention all the time and money lost to investigate this sordid affair.
Saying you are sorry is not enough.
Millions of Americans were suffering and still are.
How shameful and disgusting.
Now they have the 'audacity' to ask for our vote again??!!!
We the American People have had it with the lot of them;
Clintons and Bushes.
Vote for our future.
Vote Barack Obama!

Hush Bill, you are so yesterday. I didn't trust you when I was 15, and look at why. I want my daughter to look up to a respectable woman, Michelle Obama. She is beautiful, intelligent, and I am pretty sure she didn't stay with her husband after he cheated on her, multiple times, in the house they lived in just so she can pull a senate seat in NY, a DEMOCRATIC state, just to try to fool us for a nom in '08.

A caucasian, educated 31 yr old former registered Republican who has NEVER voted before but I did here in SC because YES WE CAN!

Obama '08
YES WE CAN!

As a former Clinton supporter, I disagree. Mr.Clinton YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TARNISHING YOUR OWN LEGACY with scandals, dismantling afr action, NAFTA, RWANDA, and your lack of character and integrity. You are the second president in history to have been IMPEACHED!

You were the president and if you wanted universal health care for all of us back in the 90's then you would of fought for it. Don't blame anyone else for your bad judgement or lack of control.

OBAMA '08

Didn't he learn to stop slamming Obama? Not very dignified.

Obama wants us to believe that Repugs and democrats, pro life and pro choice, gun control and NRA, extreme right and extreme left, have been fighting because no messiah like him showed up till now. He is here at last, so we will all give up our petty feuds. The man and his cult followers must think we are in some pre-New Testament times and that he is the son of god.

He's stated several times there were many, many good things about your time in office. He simply wants to stop the bickering and get even more done than you could with partisan fighting.

Nonsense.

Bill, what does your legacy have to do with anything? You are not the one running for president; Hillary is. And you yourself have said that as a former Prez, you have an obligation to do whatever you can for the nation regardless of who is in the White House. Obama is all for that - he has a vision for less pointless partisan bickering in Washington. So how is this vitriol relevant?

Barack is as smooth as honey and just as sticky. He will say anything to win but he doesn't have the goods! He is a very sneaky partisan politician. He uses the velvet dagger, prevarication, and even plagiarism to color his rhetoric. He also changes his story when it suits his cause - such as funding in the general…. If you want a far left manipulator rather than someone who will give you the goods and provide real solutions, vote for Barack.

Hillary the HOPE of 08

Whine, Whine Whine. Bill, if you have confidence in your own legacy then be proud of it. No everyone loved you in the 90's Bill, but that doesn't mean that we hate you either. Don't be so defensive.

But, that's just my opinion.

Clinton's veiled pitch to the senior's crowd. I like the gold watch part. Does anyone get a gold watch anymore?

The flaw in Bill's logic is tha
