Blitzer: How active will Bill Clinton be on the trail for Obama?
Blitzer: How active will Bill Clinton be on the trail for Obama?

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Bill and Hillary Clinton attended the memorial service for Tim Russert at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington on Thursday. That was the first time I have seen them since Senator Clinton dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Barack Obama. She was very enthusiastic that day. It dawned on me yesterday that we still haven’t heard the former President formally endorse Senator Obama. I am sure he will be on the Obama bandwagon openly and energetically fairly soon. But I wonder what’s taking so long. Then again, is it really all that long?

As our CNN contributor and Democratic strategist James Carville has pointed out, it was only the other day when Al Gore endorsed Obama. We shouldn’t be surprised that Bill Clinton is waiting for the right moment to deliver his big endorsement speech. And having covered the Clinton White House, I can predict that it will be a major media event when he does. Bill Clinton is just one of those remarkable political figures. When he wants to do something, he has a knack of doing it in a spectacular way.

Stay posted with Wolf. Download the politics screensaver.

But after that big endorsement is made, how active will the former President be on the campaign trail?

The answer is: I don’t know. I suspect some Obama supporters will want to see him very actively out there. He remains very popular with a lot of Democrats. Others might want him to step back. I remember that Al Gore, back in 2000, didn’t use Bill Clinton all that much, even in states where he might have made a difference. I am referring to Arkansas specifically. Had Gore won Arkansas in 2000, he would have been president. That one state’s electoral votes would have made the crucial difference.

We will soon begin to learn what roles the two Clintons will take. Those of us who are political news junkies will find it fascinating no matter what they do.

One final thing: what about Chelsea Clinton? She was an amazing campaigner for her mom. Let’s see what she does for Obama.

The "rest of their followers"? According to recent polls 76% of Clinton's supporters now support Obama. Hmm.

Olivia   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

He doesn't owe Obama a darn thing after the way his campaign tried to make Bill into a racist (absurd!) and tried to taint his legacy.
Obama is lucky Hillary is helping him after she was treated badly by his campaign and all her hard work brought to an abrupt end to favor him.
He may feel he's a rock star, but this is one chick who isn't starry-eyed.

Nancy S - Los Angeles   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

the Clintons are Democratic establishment figures. They and their follows are, and will, back the Democratic nominee - Barack Obama. Besides that, no feminist in her right mind is going to publicly back (let alone vote for) an anti-abortion candidate like John McCain. Hillary's supporters are not stupid.

Kim   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Don't do it Bill, don't go down on tht sinking ship. Obama was disrespectful to you and your administration, he tried to downplay your accomplishments, don't you dare back this puppet.

Without Clinton Obama Can't Win   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

I agree. I think Bill should wait to see who Obama taps to be VP. If it's not Hillary he shouldn't give a big MAJOR endorse and say he supports him, blah blah. Bill should just give a speech at the Convention in Denver outlining Hillary's historic run!

Kurt   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

"When he wants to do something, he has a knack of doing it in a spectacular war."

Are we sure that's not Bush Wolf is talking about?

True   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

When Rumsfeld endorses McCain…

John from LA   June 19th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Why are the bots so filled with Anger at the Clintons??-BO has the nom-Bots need to tone down the hate!-I thought bots followed new rules in politics-no hate speech, no neg. campaigning…

La Chatte, Portland, OR   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Perhaps Bill hasn't endorsed Obama because he, like many of us, thinks he's a really poor choice. In this day and age of Republican bashing, why is the race a statistical tie? From what I've been reading, it's to a large extent because of Obama's lack of experience! Excuse me while I laugh out loud at the sheer stupidity of the Democrats. If there's a way to lose a guaranteed election, they will find it. Pitiful, really.

I used to be a Democrat   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

President Clinton should not endorse Obama now or ever.

Obama = Dukasis = McGovern

Emmanuel   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

They both ran a wonderful campaign but the best team….. Obama won. I think the former President should do the right thing by endorsing Obama and campaign for him. We cannot let the Republicans win another term.

obama=underhanded liar   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

I don't know why any of the Clinton's should do anything for obama. They don't owe the liar anything.I don't hear of these questions being ask of Richardson or Edwards.

Monte - Ex Democrat   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Chelsea has her own life to live. Leave her alone. She didn't sign on to support Obama, only her mother! Find something else to bash the Clintons on. I'm sure you can come up with some tidbit and beat it to death.

SRD   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Obama all the way. He won the election and if Clinton is angry because his wife lost the election playing by the exact system and rules that she wanted to use if only the 200 delegates would have defected from Obama (which was her plan) but they refused–now he is upset that they choose him over them–he need to go for therapy to get over it.

Never Obama   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

The Clintons should spit on the Obamas.

Both Obamas trashed the Clintons publically time and again.

Now the Obamas get rewarded for that treachery?

Why? Because it is time for a Democrat in the white house?

So we will install the least qualified candidate, who has never done anything for his country, and who flip flops on all his positions and who has absolutely NO track record.

Good work, America.

Boomer   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Hillary knows how to let go. Some of her supporters don't. It's like taking a pacifier from a baby. Hillary has gotten behind Obama and told her supporters to do so. Bill will definitely campaign for Obama. Those Hillary die-hards who are threatening to vote for Grandpappy McCain are trying to make sure that Hillary's ideas on the environment, health care and Iraq never see the light of day. Of course I suspect that Andrew and Sam are really 70 year old Republicans trying to stir up trouble. As for women, Obama leads among them by over twenty points except for Desiree whose real name is Jarret and who lives in Texas and always votes Republican.

ch   June 19th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Bill should endorse if / when:

1 Hillary is named as VP

2 Obama apologizes for his sleazy attempt to paint Bill and Hillary Clinton as racists despite their 35 year public and well documented record of supporting civil rights.

La Raza   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Clinton has ruined any reputation or fond memory I once had for him. He is worse than the Republican haters.

Dennis   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

"I am sure he will be on the Obama bandwagon openly and energetically fairly soon. But I wonder what’s taking so long. Then again, is it really all that long?"

You're a genius, Wolf… really… you are.

Cool name, bad journalist.

Chris from NY   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

The guy has it bad for Obama. whenever he talked about Obama on the campaign trail he fumed. I will suggest he cool off as much as he can and wait for an invitation from Obama which I know Obama being who he is will soon extend to him (Clinton).

Bill is busy with other ladies   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Who cares. Obama doesn't need him

Muttel in NY   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

NEVER!

Andrew   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Obama doesn't even need Bill or Hillary… he can win on his own.

The Truth Shall Set You Free   June 19th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Unlikely after watching Larry Sinclair's press conference on YouTube.

Micah   June 19th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I believe you meant to write "way" not "war," though I must say, given the recent primary, "war" might fit just as well.

As for my opinion, I hope he doesn't bother, for Obama's sake.

Phil from Chelsea, MA   June 19th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

He shouldn't. Obama is not fit to be president of the United States.

As a Republican, I thank you Mr. Clinton for not supporting a candidate as arrogant, unpatriotic, and unexperienced as Obama.

McCain for President 08: He's the only candidate with the experience and knowledge to guide this great country!

Samantha in Seattle, WA   June 19th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I think Bill, Hillary and Chelsea will all campaign later in the election probably after the formal nomination has been made at the convention. Until then they'll all secretly be hoping Hillary gets nominated.

Karl   June 19th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I wonder why Bill attended the memorial After all it was Russert who jeopardized Hillary's campaign

Kat in NY   June 19th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Not really Cameron… remember that John McCain and the Clintons are friends. They are very experienced politicians, and considering the state of the Nation, isn't that what the US needs, experienced people in the White House working together beyond party lines? Just food for thought!

08 and 12 for Obama   June 19th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

WE DONT NEED the Clinton's to win…

Bella from Florida   June 19th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Obama needs to raise more than 80,000,000 to run his general election campaign. Senator Evan Bayh has just said that he will need a lot of money to defend himself from all the smear about him and his wife. I think he is going to need more than money to convince the American people that he really is the man he says he is.

too good   June 19th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

The Clintons were too decent to attack Obama.

Meanwhile he spared no punches… bashing Bill's presidency and attacking Hillary.

It was shameful to watch the Obama adoration and the Clinton witch hunting that the nation gleefully took part in.

I stand by HRC. Obama does not get my vote.

I hated the "clean" campaign of unethical hateful tactics that Obama exploited to steal the nomination.

northern view   June 19th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

It wouldn't surprise me if we didn't hear much from Bill Clinton. I think he still holds are huge grudge about their campaign loss. He's not a fair individual who can be trusted. It would be better if he just stayed out of sight. Obama doesn't need any help from the Clintons thankyou. Who is Bill Clinton anyway?

obama=underhanded liar   June 19th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

What is it going to take for you people to realize that obama is a liar to the core? He would cut your throat and flush you down the toilet just to be president.

bumble bee   June 19th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

I don't think an enthusiastic endorsement is a certainty. It is possible that Pres. Clinton feels like many others, that Sen. Obama is just not qualified or fully vetted.

ANA G. LOS ANGELES. CA   June 19th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Bill who?

Louise   June 19th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

NEVER, wolf….he should not endorse him. The clintons are not responsible for party unity, Obama is. I am very disappointed of the process. Will never vote for Obama. He stole the nomination. For the first time in my life, I will vote republican.

Karl   June 19th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Bill should work for McCain. His great presidency was brought to disrepute by the Obama campaign. He was portrayed as a racist. He should support John McCain!!

ladyatlaw2   June 19th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Let both of this take a leap in the mighty mississippi

Never   June 19th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Do what you have to do Bill… for the party.

As a HRC supporter who watched the way Hillary was disrespected and the way your presidency was trashed by the Pro-Obama camp and media and DNC…. I will use my one vote to protest those dirty politics.

Obama will never get my vote. Cheating and manipulation and politics of hate can not go unpunished.

Bacusla   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Obama does not need Bill to ratify his victory over Hillary. If Bill volunteers it, Obama should accept it and move on to more important work. If Bill doesn't, it will not make a difference … but he'll read it in newspapers, hear it on the radio, or see it on TV when Obama is sworn-in.

HRC3655   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Please Bill DO NOT endorse BO. He and his supporters have fractured the Democrats beyond repair, slammed both you and Hillary, and disrespected ALL women in general. Let him clean up his own mess!

John McCain   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

I would like to take this time to officially endorse Barack Obama.

Geo AR   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Obama …Just save your self

PatriciaC   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

What!!….After the way Obama and the Dirty DNC did Hillary……I hope NEVER….. She should do as most of her supporters are doing…..go independent… ..what does she owe the DNC for the way they treated her…Nothing ….Come on Hillary do whats right for this Country and run as a independent and take it all the way to the white house…..I know you can do it……

JOYCE   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

you people are sick
let him have time to rest
he will be out there on the trail and he will have a job on obamas term
they both will

Trisha, Monsey NY   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Angry or not hes a Dem and he Must show a good example and back Obama otherwize how are Clinton supporters supposed to heal if Bill cannot.
This should be a wonderful time in our history, lets all come together and win this folks, do you good people really want the republicans to win….have we not as a country suffered enough!

woman over 60!!!   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

he will back obama before the summer is over, go bill!!!!

2Nurselady   June 19th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

There are an awful lot of Democrats WAITING for Barack Obama to sincerely offer the VP slot to Hillary Clinton and put her on the Democratic ticket - to FINALLY give Democrats something to be excited about and to actually unite the Party like he promised to do.

PA for Obama   June 19th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Hillary and Bill will get in line and do what they are told if they want any part in the Obama Administration. I know they have some hurt feelings, but so does every candidate aside from the nominee. They will have to grow up and get over it. They lost, DEAL WITH IT!!!

Michael   June 19th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

"When he wants to do something, he has a knack of doing it in a spectacular war."

I think you meant "spectacular way," Mr. Blitzer. Our current president is the one who has gotten us into a "spectacular war."

April   June 19th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Demhypocrisy - Hello, he's a democrat. He's a party guy. It'll happen eventually, I just wouldn't expect it to be anytime soon. If these comments are any indicator there's still some hurt feelings.

Don Ingalls   June 19th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

He should at least congratulate Obama on playing his card well.

Michelle, Florida   June 19th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Bill and Chelsea should support McCain :) I bet they cast their votes for him, Hillary too!

Anthony Heyward In New York City   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

He is not going to back McCain to the fool at the top and most INTELLIGENT wont either. McCain DOES NOT STAND FOR WHAT HILLARY DID. VOTING FOR HIM WILL NOT HURT ANYONE BUT YOU, NOT OBAMA. SO VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE WON THE CONTEST AND HIS IDEALS ARE MUCH MORE SIMILAR TO HILLARYS THAN MCCAINS. WHY IS THAT SUCH A HARD THING TO UNDERSTAND.

Tina   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Only minimally I hope. Obviously he has to, but after Obama, his wife and several surogates trashed him and his administration repeatedly I hope he does as little as possible.

Mike GVentura ca   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

You "Clinton folks" should join the majority of your candidate's "followers" and unite to defeat McSame,,,,If, in fact you really are Democrats and not the gop chaos team……

Soldier's Mom   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Come on people! The Clinton's HAVE and WILL CONTINUE to be devoted Democrats — they know we need to have a Democrat in the White House … why don't the Clinton's supporters know the same thing? If you vote for McCain — you are turning your back on everything the Clinton's believe in … think about it …. if you want to support the Clinton's vote Democrat.

MDW   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Tell me Wolf ( really Fox) why is this a relevent question ..that is to say Obama does not need Bill at all.

Kojo   June 19th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Formally he has do to it but as to whether he has his heart in it nobody will know.

Walt, Belton,TX   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Bill, who?

Marc in DeKalb, IL   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Andrew, it seems as though only a minority of Clinton followers have decided to support McCain.

Well, not including the Limbaugh-Clinton "voters" in Operation Chaos.

Shawn T   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

He won't. Too much pride, no benefit.

Jason   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Darth Vadik, CA   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

He will, he's just recovering from a long campaign, even Bill was losing it towards the end

SO GIVE BILL A BREAK,

let him rest, he deserves it, when the time comes he'll be there for us.

Love you Bill

David C. Martinez   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

What, Wolf? A spectacular "war"? That's not Bill Clinton. That's George Bush.

Jennifer   June 19th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Why should the Clintons help Obama? Obama called Bill a racist and totally insulted him. I hope Hillary runs as an indpendent.

fairandstraight   June 19th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Obama does not really need the endorsement of an impeached president.

No true democrat will back McCain. The Hillary followers that plans to vote for McCain intended to vote for him in the first place. Many people wanted Hillary to be the nominee for that purpose.

Obama for president 08

Bella from Florida   June 19th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Mr. Blitzer leave the Clintons alone!
President Clinton was treated like "the enemy" during the primaries so I do not think he should be campaigning for Obama.Obama needs to apologize to President Clinton for his smear campaign against President Clinton.His campaign started playing the race card and then blamed President Clinton of it. If Obama wants to win this election ,he needs to work hard to earn it himself.

Linda   June 19th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Earth revolves around the sun—not the Clintons.

Jack   June 19th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Wolf,
You just keep coming with these creative themes for Clintons. Your next blog will probably read: "When will Chelsey Clinton back Obama?"

go away mongers-Ventura ca   June 19th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

CNN LOVES to stir up TROUBLE! Let's report on the ISSUES shall we - and let the party unite.
This stuff is absurd at best.

don't do it bill   June 19th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

The Obama campaign did nothing but trash the Clinton presidency and bash and attack BOTH Clintons.

Why should either one of them back Obama?

As a HRC supporter, I plan to vote against the hateful cheating tactics employed by the Obama campaign to secure the nomination.

58 old white ladies for OBAMA   June 19th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

D from Ashburn   June 19th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Bill's endorsement of Hillary did not help her, it might have actually cost her big time……

Therefore from a person who wants to see change I ask "Bill, please stay out of politics until the elections are over and won by Obama in Nov."

Jacob   June 19th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

…in a spectacular WAR or way? See the mistake?

jimmy   June 19th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

You Hillary supportes, get over it. she lost fair and square. Whether he endorses him or not, Obama is still the Democratic nominee. This will never change no matter how sour Hillary supporters are.

Independent LAWYER for Obama   June 19th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Wolf - you don't even sound like a journalist in this article. Seriously, if I wanted to read random stream-of-consciousness "thoughts on life," I could check my email.

JimS.   June 19th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Do you guys stay up late nights, looking for fights to pick or muck to rake?

Chris   June 19th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Stop the division! We're Americans FIRST, then Democrats! We must unite even if there is tension because 4 more years of Bush is NOT good! McCain has even less experience in "economics" than Bush!

Nick in Fairfield CA   June 19th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

When he gets over the fact that he's not going to go back to the white house. which means not anytime soon. Both Clintons are in denial and need to realize that a majority of people support Obama, so they need to do whatever they can to help him. Not make underhanded comments and implications.

Ben   June 19th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Just dont stain things around and ruin Obama's chances!

Melanie   June 19th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

I will feel bad for a lot of Hillary supporters when Obama wins in November. Nothing was stolen from her; as many of you have posted, it was a close race. Obama won. Hilary ran a GREAT race, but in all races, there must be a winner. I know that most Hilary supporters will come to the side of Obama, but realize that for the ones that don't, there will be those Republicans who are sick of Bush politics who will vote for Obama…so that will even things out. Obama will win in Nov.

Mary from Sarasota FL   June 19th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

I was a Hillary supporter throughout her campaign and I haven't given a thought to when Bill Clinton will endorse Obama. Why do people have to be so rude about responding to your blog As to what does bill owe obama, People do things for people they owe nothing to; its called charity/loyalty to a cause and sometimes a person. He will get around to it when Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama get together and decide how to proceed. Enough already. Mary from sarasota, fl

Geez, give them a break. It was a brutal primary and they are catching their breath. They will support Obama as the Democratic nominee, naturally. But the media does not set their schedule, for crying out loud.

anyway   June 19th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I hope Hillary is not added to the ticket, He needs someone with real foreign policy experience. And for you people that keep saying McCain 2008 Hillary 2012. That means you want Obama supporters to vote for her right. The other 18 million, what if we say no, how can she win. So don't cut your nose off to spite your face.

dennis from chicago   June 19th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

why should a real president support a cocky want a beeee……maybe o bama wants bill clinton for his vice president….. he needs a committee to ponder it/////

Hillary for VP, Obama can't win without her 18 million voters she drew in .

Former Dem   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Obama doesn't deserve the Clinton's support. He thinks that he's God so he really doesn't need the Clintons anyway.

beebop   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Bill should endorse when Obama apologizes … yeah, right. Obama doesn't do anything but throw people out of the way when he has finished using them. Bill should support Barry as much as Barry spoke out when the MSM slurred Chelsea. Never.

jake in Austin   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

A "spectacular war" is right! That was funny!

Left Coaster   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Give President Clinton some time to endorse. It will be meaningful.

You'd think he might want to take advantage of the opportunity to restore his legacy.

On the other hand, how do you control the guy? He didn't do much to help his wife did he!

Joe Reg   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Clinton is building up the

Drama to its crescendo before

Making the endorsement.

Down with Obama   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

I hope the hell Bill never does. Obama is evil and will lose by a landslide in November. More and more people are seeing Obama for what he really is everyday (an empty suit).

We don't want Hillary on the ticket with that Loser Obama!!!

PUMA POWER

Mark   June 19th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

HAHA Little Clinton apologists. Obama is the future, the Clinton brand name is the past. After this election there will never be another Clinton mentioned for the white house. Never again! No more lying ,adulterous Clinton influences! Down with them once and for all!

Neil   June 19th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

hopefully NEVER. After the way the DNC and Obama campaign treated the clintons, particularly Bill Clinton - I hope he doesn't endorse obama at all….

I'm still hoping Hillary takes it back at the convention.

NOBAMA.

gee   June 19th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Never, They don't need the Clinton's remember.

David from Georgia   June 19th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

This election isn't about Bill Clinton. It's been roughly eight years since he held office. Whether Bill gets behind Obama or not, makes no difference to me. Obama has already proven himself. Obama and his team can run a successful campaign with or without Bill. Hillary has also proven herself to be a good candidate. I hope her supporters listen to her and get behind Obama.

Obama '08

Bart   June 19th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Wolf,

I think you meant Bill has a knack for doing something in a spectacular way, not a spectacular war. Freudian slip?

Independent   June 19th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

His endorsement is meaningless, Barack can win without him or the Hillary finactics. True democratics will elevate him to victory.

Marlie:   June 19th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I hope he never comes back - ever.

Nova from NV   June 19th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

The Obama supporters are arrogant. Let's vote McCain in Nov.

jfs Memhis, Tn   June 19th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

If he doesn't he will reveal TO ALL how much of a party person he is….and …. how much he cares about the future of all Americans. I'll bet he does. There's too much a stack for Chelsea and Hillary to be a sore loser !!!

Anthony   June 19th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Lets go Bill, just bite the bullet n do it!

Nolen in Atlanta, GA   June 19th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Wasn't Bill Senator Obama's mentor for a brief stint? Sure he'll back Senator Obama. It'll be a bigger than life media event with everyone covering it and lots and lots and lots of Clinton-esque touches. I doubt a former Democrat and President wouldn't be front and center at the election of another Democrat as President.

Michelle   June 19th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I hope this sentence contains a typo.

When he wants to do something, he has a knack of doing it in a spectacular war.

Gorbashov, Long Beach, Ca.   June 19th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

He'll stop smoking cigars before he endorses McSame. So, alleged Hillary supporters give it a rest.

He will vigerously support his parties candidate, because he knows what the stakes are for this great nation, and he couldn't stomach four more years of these failed policies with a McBush Presidency.

Franky   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Just as long he's cool Wolf! I mean, I don't care who can help out! If you wanna help or take your time, then that's fine by me, I don't care! I'm not pressuring no one…

Thomas   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I think Bill just may stay away from the rest of the election, its starting to look like Obama has asked Hillary and Bill to stay away… AND I HOPE THEY DO!

AHerbert; San Diego, CA   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Bill Clinton is an excellent politician and any support he wants to give Obama will be welcomed. It will be away to Unite the party ….

Val, Atlanta, Ga   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Bill is still trying to get over the fact that she lost, They are not use to losing, they are sore losers I 'm sure he will endorse him because it would not look good if he didn't and trust me if he could get by with out doing it, he would.

Obama 08

Rea   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Please don't support Senator Obama
He was unfair with Michigan and Florida and never said a kind word about either of the Clintons.
And they are "superstars".
The media painted them wrong all the way.
It's a disgrace.

NO TO OBAMA   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I hope he never does. It really doesn't matter anyway. Millions of Democrats will not vote for arrogant and hypocritical Obama no matter who endorses him.

Nicole in NE   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

People on these blogs are ridiculous. PUMA? give me a break

I am glad the Democratic party is uniting and I hope Bill gives that speech soon.

DEMOCRATS!

Mike Thelin   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I think you mean "in a spectacular way," not "spectacular war." The latter would refer to the current president's approach.

Olivia   June 19th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I sincerely hope that Mr. Clinton does not throw in his support for Obama. it would be a slap in the face to his wife and her supporters. Everyone made the Clintons look like racists - especially the Obama camp.

And, to all of you that say we are racists because we are not supporting Obama. keep on believing that. We are not racists we are just not plain stupid to support a flakey fake like obama.

Alex   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

The Clintons can take their time. Heck, they might not even make it on the ticket with him. I really don't see them helping all that much unless she's with him on the ticket (which frankly, might not happen).

Jim   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Ron L   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Give him time..He is STUNNED that Hillary did not win. They are both probably in a DAZED and EXHAUSTED state.

You know what REALLY PATHETIC….How the Media wants everything done right away, every day, so they will have something new to talk about. With all the CRAP that is going wrong in the country they are concerned about Bill Clinton….
What a travesty…

american   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Thompson   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

As for 2012, Obama got 17.8 million votes…. You will need them if McCain wins (which I doubt) and Hillary decides to run for president.

So, you better be careful how you handle this situation.

Vicki Webster   June 19th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I hope that he never endorse him? Hillary will be back!

Vito   June 19th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Here's your favorite son, Clinton supporters. How could u love him more than Obama who hasn't said nor done anything to slander Clinton or woman, but McCain has ON RECORD called his wife a C***. Something life, "Thanks Cindy (after she introduces him) now go back to the kitchen ya C***."

Look it up. You Clinton supporters have no reason to hate Obama. Look at McCain's record… he's anti everything that would benefit woman. ANti-planned parenthood, anti-choice, anti- contraceptive research- ANTI EVERYTHING

I DARE ANY CLINTON SUPPORTER OUT THERE TO PROVIDE ONE SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE AGAINST OBAMA IN TERMS OF HATING WOMAN.

SAM2008   June 19th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

I agree CLINTON in the ticket or McCain in the WHITE-HOUSE
i swear me and my family cousins brothers sisters and trust me i have a lot
of family members will vote for McCain.

JIM...TX   June 19th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Let's hope an PRAY we NEVER have to hear from Bill again…he an Hillary did enough to the Party already. They should both just disappear:)

mora   June 19th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

The Clintons will support Obama soon. Andrew, Shelly, and Sam(arab man) are all fools

Vicki Webster   June 19th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I would think that he can be as polarizing as his wife. Not everyone can be a good campaigner all the time. The conservatives would nail Obama with something because of the connection. It just goes without saying that any negative policy Bill Clinton had, they'll attach to Obama if he comes anywhere close to.

DAN   June 19th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

They called President Clinton a racist and that is why he should never endorse Obama. Rather Obama shoiuld ask Nancy Reagans endorsement since Obama thinks that Ronald Reagan brought more change in a way Clinton and Nixon never did. Bill Clinton actually helped the AA community, balance the budget, eliminated the deficit, left a surplus, and created 22 million jobs. somthing Reagan never did but even though Hillary's out of the race cnn still likes to trash the Clintons. Wolf was very hard on the president in the 90's and ask him why he wouldn't resign and was proud of asking him what he would say to Lewinski's parents as a got ya question. Nobama, vote for the green party for a weak McCain win. We'll be just fine with a democratic house and senete with a weak McCain presidency. until the right person comes along.

Cecilia from San Jose, CA   June 19th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Are the Clintons obligated to endorse Obama?

If not, quit hounding them and let them continue with their lives.

Samuel T. Horton   June 19th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

For the love of god , I hope the 42nd president does NOTHING to help Obama.

In fact, I wouldnt blame him at all if he went out and campaigned for Mc Cain.

Obama was the guy who lumped President Clinton in with RICHARD NIXON to behold Ronald Reagan.

The media and the Obama campaign treated him like GARBAGE.

Brian Knoxville, TN   June 19th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

It's tough to say exactly when Bill Clinton, who had been endorsing the best candidate that the Democratic Party has had run in so many years, will through his support behind the selected nominee of the undemocratic Democratic Party, especially considering what the so-called leaders failed to do to make sure the the contest for the nomination was conducted fairly and in accordance with our Democratic principles. I'd have to say that Bill Clinton would do well if he were never to endorse the Chosen One.

Puma Pac

Clinton Supporter   June 19th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

After Obama said Reagan was a better president than Clinton, I doubt he is anxious to campaign for him.

Gerry   June 19th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I hope he never does. The very best thing Bill Clinton could do to help Obama is go on an extended trip to China and play with the Panda's.

BK   June 19th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Don't do it Bill. Obama is a liar and a fraud. I have a lot of respect for the Sentors who say they do not trust Obama and will not endorse him. Someone needs to stand up and say Obama should not be president.

HILLARY SHOULD BE VP

AND IF NOT BILL SHOULD NOT CAMPAIN FOR OBAMA AT ALL!!

IF HILLARY IS NOT ASKED IT WILL BE A DOUBLE SLAP IN FACE TO CLINTON SUPORTERS!! THE FIRST BEING THE FACT THAT SHE DID WIN THE POPULAR VOTE!! AND DID RECEIVE MORE VOTES THAT OBAMA!! GUESS WELL WAIT AND SEE, AT LEAST WE CAN ALWAYS FALL BACK ON THE DEMOCRATS FAV REPUBLICAN-INDEPENDANT JOHN MCCAIN!!

Turnabout is Fair Play   June 19th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Hillary most likely will not be Obama's VP; there's not point in setting yourselves up with false hope, just keepin' it real. There are legitimate reasons Obama cannot add her even if he wanted to. Too much of Bill's baggage with Monica as well as other money related issues will destroy the democrats chances in November and then Hillary's issues and statements she made in the primary against Obama will and IS being used against Obama now. It would not work out.

rachel   June 19th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

It hasnt been that long, and Obama's nose is so far up in the air and poltically slapping Hillary by hiring someone she let go, that Obama doesnt feel he needs the endorsement. I hope soon we can see them all give each other a big hug, I am waiting for the Michelle and Hillary Clinton fist pound.

Sylvia Johnsen   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Don't do it Bill!

Go to the convention, fight - it's the right any candidate has in an election. The right to loose is an honorable fight.

The Dems convention, the one debate Obama cannot run away from.

Edu   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

His endorsement is not important. Wther he endorse him or not Obama is destined to be the next president of America!

Shashidhar   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

For the sake of America, I hope that Bill and Hillary Clinton will give the benefit of their generous experience to Senator Obama, to put an end to the slightest possibility of a continuation of the 3rd Bush term in the garb of Senator McCain.

Politico   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Not until after the convention, I suspect… if then. The Clintons are petty like that.

You support McCain, this country will sink even lower. Please tell me if you see anything good. Please do not fool yourself thinking McCain will be different from Bush. I mean the economy is in the tank, America's standing in the world is at it's lowest, the Iraq war etc etc. Republicans replaced a liberal Moslem leader with some dieahard fanatics in Iraq. Women were free under Saddam. Now women who go to beauty perlour are killed. Women are forced to wear Borkha in today's Iraq. We need a change. Enough with fake conservative.

Bob-a-latte   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Wolf,

Thank you for informing us that President and Mrs. Clinton attended the memorial service. I believe that the Clintons purposely kept their attendance low key so they would not upstage Mr. Obama.

No one else in the press seems to be reporting that they attended. I'm not surprised, since that would not serve the interests of the Clinton haters to report on them in a positive manner.

I believe President Clinton will take his cues from Mr. Obama on the timing and staging of an endorsement. The two men probably need to meet and start a converstion first to clear the air after the primary season.

Cameron   June 19th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Lisa CA   June 19th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

It doesn't matter. Obama has already begun to show his true colors by backing out of public finance. the lies will keep coming no matter who endorses him. He won't win because he isn't about a new kind of politics, he's about hiding all the huge PAC and special interest donations in the middle of the internet cash flow. This is purely the old money laudering type of politics you can expect from a Chicago politician.

Joe from Houston   June 19th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

How long did it take Al Gore to recover after his win of the popular vote and still loose the Presidency (2000). Well the Clintons won in the popular vote but still lost the nomianation. Democrats are upset at the republicans for this stunt but turn around and pull the same stunt against their own. The DNC should be ashame of them self. I hope Bill never comes around. I plan on staying home in November.

vic nashville,Tn   June 19th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Bill Clinton 2 term president for Democratic party it was the best 8years we had But DNC forget every thing and support Obama
I will never forget how DNC treat Hillary
I am independent Now I don’t want to see Bill Endorse Obama

He probably won't publicly. These people are not use to coming in second place so they are probably going through a lot mentally right now. I think he should, but, what do I know. And, if he does not I don't think it will change anything. It will be what it will be.

Matt M.   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

"When he wants to do something, he has a knack of doing it in a spectacular war."

George W. Bush, when he wants to do something, has a knack for doing it in a spectacular WAR.

MLG   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Rudy NYC   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

ASAP. Period.

Since an anouncement has been made the Barack and Hillary will have a meeting, what are the ups and downs of an endorsement coming after such a meeting?

Before the meeting would look better. It would set a tone for the meeting in the minds of the public. Even if they don't agree during their meeting, they can come out of it smiling like they do.

tess   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

who cares!! i would be happy if i never had to see or hear of either clinton for the rest of my life - and the world would go on just beautifully and with much less trashiness and meaness!!!!! the best sight would be their backs leaving to places unknown!

syl   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Obama should first apologized to President Clinton.
He ridiculed the progress made in the 90s under Clinton; he used the race card (with his mouthpiece Clyburn) and he and his supporters diminished and demean President Clinton.
Also Obama is saying there should be no criticisms of presidential candidates spouses. He objects to criticism of his spouse. Is this another example of his sexism? Did he not criticize Hillary's spouse?
Did he not have the foresight that he would need President Clinton's help? It is obvious that he does not have what it takes to be a presient.

Trever   June 19th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer has lost my respect. Stop trying to stir up trouble for the sake of a story and just let the Clinton's do what they want, when they want. They are good people and will do the right thing at the right time. Stop making a mess of everything. You are part of the problem, instead of being part of the solution.

As a Clinton fan, I think Bill would hurt him more than help him. I believe Bill hurt Hillary with her run.

Nathan   June 19th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Interesting, perhaps, but not that interesting. As far as the campaign goes, Clinton is the past. He is much more important as someone who works intelligently and effectively on global development issues, on poverty and disease in Africa, as someone who is a model of what can be done by someone outside of government. He can contribute greatly in those areas, and he can be a great resource for Obama if he plays from those strengths as an advisor, a public intellectual, an effective activist in the field. He is just not that important as a direct campaigner. Better to give strong support from outside the campaign as someone who is doing some real good in the world–and not trying to recapture the past. This is Clinton's way to a future.

SONIA4HILLARY   June 19th, 2008 4:21 pm ET
