Bill Clinton has not formally endorsed Obama yet.
Bill Clinton has not formally endorsed Obama yet.

(CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton is committed to helping Sen. Barack Obama get elected to the Oval Office, a Clinton spokesman said Tuesday.

The comments are the first from Bill Clinton's office to offer support to the presumptive Democratic nominee since the party's prolonged primary race ended two weeks ago.

Watch: Where is Bill Clinton?

"President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States," Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said.

The former president was sharply critical of Obama on the campaign trail earlier this year, and has yet to publicly endorse the Illinois senator, even though his wife officially pulled out of the race June 7.

The comments come three days before both Obama and Hillary Clinton are set to appear together in Unity, New Hampshire, to show their support of a unified Democratic Party. The former president is not slated to attend that event.

Watch: Should Bill stump for Obama?

UPDATE: Responding to the statement, the Republican National Committee notes the former president has been highly critical of Obama, specifically in an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose shortly before the Iowa caucuses when he suggested voting for Obama is a "roll of the dice."

"I mean when is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?" Clinton said then. "He would have been a senator longer by the time he’s inaugurated, but essentially once you start running for president full-time you don’t have time to do much else.”

Obama is supposed to be the stronger candidate, and after 8 years of Bush policies, you'd think that Dems have an easy sweep to take over the mess we are in….. as it turns out Obama needs a lot of endorsement and support, to convince people to vote for him….. so where is his strength?
good speeches along the way, but now he actually has to deliver the work…. and I have no faith he ever will, nor that he has a chance to win

Val, Atlanta, Ga   June 24th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

President Clinton will endorse Sen Obama because he knows thats the right thing to do and he does not want his party turning there nose up at him, He knows that polictics is a game you win some and lose some. So good for you President Clinton this was a fair and hard fight, and you know Sen Obama will need your expertise while in the White House.

Clinton Supporter   June 24th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

I admire Bill Clinton enormously. He is a loyal Democrat and will support the Party's choice. Nowhere is it required that former presidents personally endorse any political figure.

Certainly contributors to this blog hate the Clintons more than the devil, so presumably Obama supporters would cringe at the very thought of any help from either Clinton. They forget that HRC won the popular vote, even though the DNC likes to pretend that only "DNC authorized" votes count. Fortunately, the DNC doesn't get to count the ballots in November.

With any luck, Obama will roundly reject any help from Bill, who is loved around the world and here in America. Americans will note that in making their decision. But even Obama is not so stupid as to reject help from Hillary.

Obama gets the Lightweight of the Year Award in 2008.

A freeing experience for Bill if he is rejected by these clowns.

Only Bill Clinton   June 24th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

What a wind bag old Billy Boy has become and does anyone really care anymore? Didn't think so. He is so jealous of Obama's appeal he can't even be civil…what a sleeze.

marion Colbert   June 24th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Yes. Take all the help[ available, especially from a former President. Must win. No options. Understandable that he was negative, his wife and he wanted to get back in that office. If you remember, he was extremely reluctant to leave Washingtion and took quite a while, more than is customarily required, to get out of town and television coverage could progress on the existing President until he left. He really didn't want to leave.

maryland   June 24th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

I honestly believe that Bill Clinton will do whatever it takes to help obama. These people are politicans, and Obama is going to be the president.

Let's Unite   June 24th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Thank you Clintons!

Democrats '08!

LET IT GO   June 24th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

GOLDENCHICA WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND I THOUGHT IT SUPPOSE TO BE CHIP NOT SHIP. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT TAKE A HIKE LIKE HILLARY DID. SOME HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE THE SORE LOSERS HERE.

Bet Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw wouldn't allow Karl Marx in the same city. Not news - gossip - filthy gossip.

Denny Sangiovanni   June 24th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Why don't you leave the Clintons alone?.. Why always the Clintons, Clintons. Leave these people alone..

Carol   June 24th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Now what do you think a representative is going to say? Bill Clinton hasn’t said anything yet. Someone saying it FOR him means bupkis in my book.

Lisa   June 24th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Like I said before Obama is the presumptive nominee!!!

CW4Barak   June 24th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Welcome aboard the winning team Bill! BTW Lisa, the Clintons have moved on and so should you and all the other racist Hillary supporters, because we all know that the only reason you all don't want to support Obama is because he is black…..you would all rather vote for McSame, whose views are completely opposite and contrary to what Sen. Clinton stand for….her voting record and her policies are about 98% similar to Obama's….but even with that, and with him winning the nomination and with you all saying you are Democrats, you still refuse to support the candidate of your party….just goes to show, you are all racist rats!

Enlightened Voter   June 24th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Stop people! Wake up and face reality! She ran a lousy campaign (later admitted by her own staffers), ran up a HUGE debt (can't blame that on Obama as much as you'd like to) and although she has some fanatics out there, more people voted for Barack. Oh and le'ts not forget about her lies and her wanting to break the agreement she signed about MI & FL and then conned you all into believing she was being shafted. She lost because of her undoing, not the DNC or Obama, it was her fault.

georgia   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

With "friends" like the Clintons,who needs enemies.
Things are going just fine without the bitter,sore loser(s) !!
Art, you're right ! Obama deserves & gets much better & more sincere support. The Clintons should just focus on some value & soul searching as well as paying off her debt resulting from vote buying !!!

Ken   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Clinton needs to hold fundraisers and write a couple of books to pay off his wifes debt. We do not need his support and we certainly do not need his money!!!!!

Nia - AZ   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

I'm not going to belive it until the Hill - Billy's get both there egotistical selfs out in the spot light and campaigning vigoraosly. Although I'm not so sure they should have Bill doing anything.

Lisa   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Come on Dems and Miss Lisa there is not going to be a showdown in Denver. I don't think Obama or any true Dem will not accept Bill or Hillary and doesn't think they won't work hard for him. I would really like to see a post where there is unity. I know that willnever be because of all the fanatic Hillary & Pro- John McCain crap floating around. We will kick butt in November.

Pat   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

"Now that's whats up!"

Eric   June 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Support Obama or watch your party go down in flames for the next 12 -20 years. If Obama loses this election because you refuse to vote for him, we will hold the whole democratic party as example. You think that you hate Republicans now. They will be owning you all for the next twenty years. African-Americans have been voting for white candidates for the longest even if we do not agree with their policies or qualifications. You need to suck it in and take like man or woman!

Phil, FL   June 24th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

CNN - why do you allow remarks like the one from Karl Marx?

Want to stir the pot? Get your ratings?

Gossip - filthy gossip.

Michele   June 24th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

The only people who play the race card are Obama and his supporters. I hope if Bill does stump for Obama he does a terrible job. McCain 08/ Hillary 12

McCain nominated by the Republican Voters.

Obama selected by the Democratic Leaders.

November 4, 2008:

McCain elected President by American Voters.

sandy cole   June 24th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

well, bill and hillary i never thought you would stoop this low as to support obama. i'm voting for john mccain. the whole world has gone crazy.

hemnebob   June 24th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Lisa…

"Go Hillary?"

have you been living under a rock or maybe just a bit in denial?

Gareth CA   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Best president EVER , THE Obama-Nation needs Bill and Hill its just a fact!

Phil, FL   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

You are lowly scum Karl Marx. Keep your filthy mind and mouth shut !!!!

Raymond Duke   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

I hope this is just a line of B.S. I would lose all respect for Bill Clinton if he helped Obama in any way. Obama is a socialist sleaze ball and anti- american. Bill needs to back up and re-think that is the plan. Obama is going to lose the general and the clintons will still be blamed by the democrat leadership even though they are at fault for running a man and his wife who have made anti- american statements., friends that are terriost and reverends and church memebers who hate america. He is just losing face. He should not allow the Obama campagin to call him and label him a racist. He needs to encourage Hillary to run as an indepedent. She would win. As far as Obama, I am a yellow dog democrat but I will hold my nose and vote for John McCain no matter who backs Obama including Bill and Hillary.

proud army and navy mom   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

The way Bill sabotaged and disrespected his own wife suggests that maybe he needs to stay away from the election, or we will be having to start making excuses for him again.

We need to stay focused on defeating the warmonger, Mccain and not babysitting Bill.

tj   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Bill, please don't do this - don't endorse and support him.
You perfectly knows that he absolutely does not fit this position and we former Clintorn supporters will not vote him anyway.
Remember you owe this party nothing.
They betrayed you and Hillary and we are dropping it switching to independents.
We hoped you and Hillary will do the same thing.
Remeber you were the best president in modern history.

the truth   June 24th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

To those who are still confused by the lack of support for Obama from many HRC supporters:

The HRC supporters who will not back Obama are not racist, stupid, vindictive nor spiteful.

We are protesting an injustice with our vote.

Perhaps you don't agree with us. Perhaps you failed to perceive the injustice.

But we did and we will no longer support the democratic party or the DNC or the democratic candidates until the democratic party returns to its own ideals of fair campaigns and justice and equality.

The fact the Obama is not worth voting for to begin with… makes our decision all that much easier.

Cecilia   June 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Sorry — just because Bill Clinton 'is committed' to Obama — that doesn't necessarily mean he endorses Obama. Guess he's doing what 'he thinks is politically correct' for the party.
Personally, I can't wait until 2012! Go Hillary!

Adeleine   June 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Bill fought a bruising battle for his wife and lost. Give the man some credit, he needs a little more time.

bsr-houston   June 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Lesson to the Clintons—Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Be good sports!

Harvey in Va   June 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

The president is doing this in support of Hillary (not to let her down) We all know after the way that Obama campaign and his supporters treated him, how could in his heart feel to support him..

If Not Hillary then McCain PERIOD

Jennifer   June 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Yawdie,

Have helped her, am helping her, will continue to help her.

Independent   June 24th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Bill Clinton's endorsement will mean a LOT for Obama's campaign - watch and see! He has spent the past year endorsing his wife - of course!!! - and there HAD to be a "grieving process" following her loss.

However, "the show must go on"~~~~ and being a loyal Democrat, it naturally follows that he'd be adamant about wanting the Democrats to win, and would throw his support to Obama.

Democrats Unite!!!   June 24th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

No worries about Bill… He'll come around, even if he doesn't really want to. Who knows how to put on a good "show" better than bubba?

Sean   June 24th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

It's good to see that the Clintons are willing to put the good of the country ahead of their personal frustrations over the nomination race. Hopefully this helps set another example for those out there who are selfishly willing to send our young soldiers to their deaths in Iraq, put people out of their homes by continuing Bush's economic policies, and allow the Supreme Court to be dominated by conservative judges…all for no better reason than to satisfy their own personal frustration.

Lois   June 24th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

I'm a Democrat, which means I'll be voting for Barack to win this election. Bill is a Democrat, which means he'll be voting for Barack to win the election. Enough said.

tiger2471   June 24th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Bill Clinton, deep down inside, really doesn't like Obama and it's pretty obvious to the naked eye. He resents Obama for the defection by some of his colleagues (Richardson, Reich) that worked within his administration, he resents the fact that Obama out campaigned he, his daughter and his wife, he resents the fact that a black man stole (not really) a significant voting block of his administration (the black vote), and he resents the media for crowning Obama a media darling and what he believes was an attack and unfair coverage of Hillary. God forbid he uses the word sexism, he surely is guilty of this himself. But for Clinton not to endorse the presumptive nominee is a slap in the face, PERIOD, and nothing Bill Clinton does will surprise me.

Evelyn   June 24th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

This is just what the GOP wants, a divided DNC. Let's pull it together for 4 months and try to win this thing. Yes we have differences, but a US lead by John McCain would not be pleasant, especially with his temperament.

I was for Hillary, but now I'm onboard with Barack. The GOP is great at getting their act together for the big prize (the presidency) and we haven't been able to do the same. Stop fighting the primaries are over.

Was For Clinton, Now Obama 08= A Better America

Stan   June 24th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Bill Clinton is a liability on the campaign trail, who said Sen. Obama wants him "committed" to the campaign? Hey Bill, please don't do us any favors.

After the "amazing" job he did campaigning for his own wife im scared of what he might do for Obama. Maybe you should just sit this one out Billy.

California Voter   June 24th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

The Clintons are loyal democrats and support Obama. But that doesn't mean others who supported Clinton will follow. Obama may have the speeches and charisma, but it takes more than that to be president . . experience for one.

Brian from Texas   June 24th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Of course slick Willie is going to support Obama. Doing so is how Hill is going to get out of debt. It is too bad that the Clintons feel the need to prostitute themselves in this shameful way.

laura, CA   June 24th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Curious indeed, Bill Clinton is a clever politican, with his flaws of course, but the Clintons didn't save the Democratic party by being idiots.
So, yes, what's Bill up to??

rw in ct   June 24th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Bill, stay away, Obama is political poison.
Clinton's political stature is lightyears above Obama. PUMA.

McCain=the draft   June 24th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

JIM   June 24th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Maggie Muggins from Selwyn how dare you? So anyone who doesn't support Obama has the IQ of pig iron? Talk about arrogant and elitist. The more I hear from Obama supporters, the harder it is to join them.

Paquito el Mexicano   June 24th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Hey Farrell of Houston,

Not so fast! Of course Obama needs THE CLINTONS, but McCain will be OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

So you and "LET IT GO" shouldn't LOL just yet, McCain will have the last laugh in November.

Yawdie   June 24th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Art - Obama does not need his help.
Lisa - Sorry. No show down in Denver. Are you living in the real world?
All other faithful HRC supporters - Help her out of debt… I am just saying.

Anonymous   June 24th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Are you kinding with presumptive nominee crap…….Hillary is out. The problem with clintons and "lisa" is that you people are in denial.

pam Eugene OR   June 24th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

If you go directly to the Clinton web site you can donate money to her only. None of it will go to the DNC or Obama.
I support Obama but in the interest of party unity I contribute to both of them .Let's not be mean and nasty. That only benefits McCain.
Hillary supporters have all kinds of informed reasons for not helping her. Think people. YOU CAN DONATE DIRECTLY TO HRC so stop making stupid comments why you are not helping your candidate.
Bill, go help your wife out with her debt.

Carl B from Indialantic   June 24th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Hillary was the most qualified candidate in the race. No one has an obligation to support an unqualified candidate; we have that as president in the current administration.

Ken   June 24th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Who wants or needs the support of that 2-bit, lying, scam artist.

Put him and his power-crazy wife in jail where they belong.

Erik S.   June 24th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Please, former president Clinton cares about himself and the Clinton name, that is all. He doesn't care about democrqcy, he dosent care about his own party, he doesn't care about America, he cares about how much money he can get from getting his next speech. He's proven to be more of a minus then a plus. He's not going out and doing anything for Obama in the future, which will be good for Obama.
The rue Clinton has been exposed, and it's not pretty.

Trilateral Com. Mission   June 24th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Clinton only cares about $$$$$$ and Power for his two secret groups.

dems be dopes   June 24th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

The Clinton's endorse Obama.

McCain will win

Baggage, baggage, baggage……

Don"t Do It!   June 24th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

After how the Democrats threw Hillary under the bus, Bill and Hillary owe this party nothing.

Americans watched and saw how longtime friends and colleagues will turn on you.

How soon some Americans forgot about all the Clintons did for Civil and Human Rights.

Rick FL   June 24th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Thank you Clintons. I will send what I can to help your financial situation.

Bill has SEVERAL committments already in place..he can't drop what he is doing and show up at events with Barack…this event on Friday is for Hillary and Barack…not Hillary, Bill and Barack…

I am sure he will come out and STOMP for him soon enough…I'm not sure what people expect Bill to say about his support of Barack..being bitter/ugly now will serve no purpose..and NO ONE should expect to see warm and fuzzy relations between ANY of them!!!!

Roger   June 24th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Maggie from above has the best comment so far!

Jackson   June 24th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

I think Hillary & Bill are doing what they are doing for the Party ..not Obama … and I think most people will understand this.

Martin Agnew   June 24th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Here we go again. The press desperately tries to force its view of what is appropriate onto others. Clinton is a private citizen and should do exactly what he chooses rather than what CNN thinks would be best.

lorraine   June 24th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

I am a big Bill Clinton supporter and wish that people would leave him alone, so what if he doesn't feel like kissing Obamas' feet - I feel the same way and I bet lots of other people do too, Obama is not my cup of tea and so lay off of Bill and as he has more brains than most politicians - he was a good President and deserves some credit.

Asheville   June 24th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

McCain is just another republican puppet and Obama is too much of an unknown and inexperienced….there is no good choice. I'd vote for Bill again or Lou Dobbs….how about it Lou?

Jim in FL   June 24th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Phil-Little Rock   June 24th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Hillary is not going to get the VP slot. Remember this life lesson people: be careful how you treat people. The toes you step on today might be connected to the (behind) you have to kiss tomorrow!! Now that Patti Solis Doyle is on board with Obama's team, Hillary is all but done for that VP slot. Do you really think Doyle's forgotten how Hillary and Mark Penn and all the Clintonistas threw her under the bus after she stepped down earlier in the primary? I guarantee she hasn't.

If Bill says he's gonna help, mark my words, it'll be 1) begrudgingly so, and 2) it's only so he can get something out of it (like a job to keep Hillary busy while he's off boinking Hollywood actresses and models).

PRINT THIS CNN !! GO OBAMA !!!

I dont care   June 24th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

it will not make a bit of differance to us, obama is anti-America,

JUSTSAYNODEAL,,,,,,,,,P.U.M.A

Barbara-California   June 24th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Bill and Hillary Clinton both will say and do anything to stay at the "fore front of the feeding trough" all of these Washington Politicans feed from; they don't want to let go of what they thought as their next chance for feeding at the very front.

I wish people could see them for what they are……just very good actor and actress….they have playing the game for so long……they are experts…..give them an oscar for "Let's Pretend!"

Bobby, Triangle, VA   June 24th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Bill Clinton is a good guy and he'll do the right thing in due time to support Obama. He will endorse him officially in due time also.

Fairy tales can come true!!   June 24th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Bill and Hillary have done nothing but insult Obama and his supporters and treating all of us as a joke.

They never took the time to understand why SO MANY PEOPLE SUPPORT OBAMA!!!

Many of us don't trust that man, if we did, she would be the nominee.

But, I do plan to give Hillary some money. I am a Democrat, I AM PROUD TO GIVE!!

DON'T MESS with BILL!   June 24th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

WE DONIT need your help ……..you are an BIG TIME IDIOT!!!!!

BILL CLINTON is TRUE DEMOCRAT !!!!!!!!

Brian W.   June 24th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

What happen to the endorsement after the ending of the race?
Now bill wants to support obama? Give me a break? Bill wants and still wants a piece of the white house? A JOB?

SOMETHING LIKE THIS: A JOB TO PAY OFF THE DEBTS THEY GAINED.

Democrate is the only way   June 24th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Well McCain does not stand a chance anyways. I'm not worried a bit.

The Prophet   June 24th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

First of all, to Lisa–Hillary pulled herself out. It's over.

Second of all, Bill Clinton will very soon join the campaign trail, and this statement–though not from his own mouth–still signifies the strength of Obama's campaign, and the fact that Hillary is officially out…sorry Lisa.

If Obama does pick Hillary for vice, it would be an extremely poor political decision. Not only would it be a disservice to the thousands who chose Obama instead of Hillary, but it would also be a disgrace to Hillary's supporters, who would then feel that the appointment would be out of sympathy…sorry Lisa.

It should be noted that the presumptive winners of the primaries/caucuses that CNN had chose are always the winners. I'll trust CNN's judgement here, Obama is more then just a presumptive nominee, he is the Democratic Presidential Nominee…sorry Lisa.

Either Hillary supporters embrace this new leader, or not vote at all. Their childish threat to vote for the GOP come November will only backfire on them, will only cost more of their dollars at the gas pump, more of their sons and daughters in the worst foreign policy blunder in our lifetime…think about it Lisa.

Just think about it.

kim hussein taylor portland, oregon   June 24th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

i hope bill gets enough rest, and possibly some meds, before he gets out there supporting obama. he was a disaster for hillary a lot of the time!

Florida   June 24th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

McCain is still going to win Florida.

A-Man   June 24th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Obviously it is good for his and his wifes political future to endorse Obama. To do all they can for the party, and to negotiate the paying of her debt. I sure wish the McCain supporters would quit writing on these boards as Hillary supporters who hate Obama. No one is that stupid. It is to bad the McCain/republican blind supporters have nothing to work with other then blind hate. Maybe in the future they will just look to the best for the country and not just vote republican everytime just because their dad told them to.

Lisa, there will be NO showdown in Denver. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton are behind Obama 100 percent. Do to anythink else but support him would ruin both of their names, political careers and their reputations. They both know when to give it up for the best of the democratic party. They now want all of Hillary's supporters to back Senator Obama 100%.

DON'T MESS with BILL!   June 24th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton is committed to helping Sen. Barack Obama get elected to the Oval Office,………..BILL CLINTON is and always has been a TRUE DEMOCRAT
Art ………… DONT DO IT BILL. Obama dosent deserve your help………
NO WE DONIT need your help ……..you are an BIG TIME IDIOT!!!!!

Brian From Knoxville has now transformed into Knoxville Operation Chaos   June 24th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Clinton is a member of the Trilateral Commision and the Bilderberg Group. He's worried about himself and furthering those groups causes of controlling the world.

The only thing Clinton is committed to is $$$$$$$ and Power. Just watch and see.

It's OK Bill, take your time to recover from the hectic primaries. There are still months of G.E. to be had and you need to be at your best.

Otto Von Hinkie   June 24th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Bill who?

Rebecca in Indiana   June 24th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Thank you Bill Clinton.

Jaime   June 24th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Dobson needs to crawl back to whatever dirty hole he came from. Let's TAX the church heavily so these religioius nut jobs stay out of politics and the state.

The word "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY" should be inscribed on every church and bible of every religion in America.

Religion after all is for the primtive….

ideals before party line   June 24th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Bill you are no fool.

Only fools support Obama.

You and Hillary are just true democrats loyal to your party.

I am not loyal to the party.

I am loyal to my principles and ideals- freedom, justice, equality, fair play, right to vote, fair and unbiased elections.

Nico   June 24th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Bill can give speeches for Obama, but I don't know if anyone will listen to him anymore. He seemed like such a nice guy, but after he said that his wife's bid was victim to a "cover-up", his nice-guy facade was just one big fairy-tale.

Amanda   June 24th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Too bad Obama supporters are all such HATERS! Way to unify the party!!!

Hillary 2012! McCain 08!

Lucas, Nashville TN   June 24th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

I will take this, my grain of salt, and my good memory of all the horrible things Bill Clinton said in the recent months and sit here and see how it pans out. Maybe if we can keep him from TALKING…

Shawna   June 24th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

I'll believe it when I see him helping Obama campaign. Clinton said Obama's campaign sends out sleaze bags to do their dirty work would that include Sen. Clinton, who would be campaigning on obama's behalf.

Carol, San Luis Obispo, CA   June 24th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

It's all about Bill.

Even when Bill was campainging for his wife, it was all about Bill. Part of it is attributable to the fact his over inflated ego and partly because he has the stature of a former President. But that's also what gets him into trouble.

I have never seen Bill Clinton at a microphone speaking in support of someone other than himself, speaking sensibly and believably on behalf of a candidate, and then answer delicate questions without losing his temper. That's when he becomes a campaign liability.

Maybe he can support Barack Obama by simply saying, "I'm voting for Barack Obama. You heard it right from the horse's mouth. I, Bill Clinton, am voting for Barack Obama."

That might also send a message to Hillary's supporters that Clintons will vote for Obama. Wouldn't that be refreshing to know which candidate they support by their vote.

LaShanda   June 24th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Bill will help him because he's dedicated to getting Democrats a majority in the Senate and in the White House. Once we focus on what's important, we can forget the crap that came out of the primaries. The country can not afford a John McCain presidency. We are suffering!

irony   June 24th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Obama is well on his way to fooling people into giving him the presidency because he is young and black and we all need to atone for the sins of forefathers who were not even in this country at the time of slavery. Not even Obama's forefathers were here in the days of slavery.

Such irony.

VALERIE   June 24th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

OBAMA DID NOTHING BUT BASH PRESIDENT CLINTON. BILL SHOULD STAY OUT OF IT NOW. LET OBAMA WIN IT/LOSE IT ON HIS OWN.

Crying wolf   June 24th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

LOL
"As you all can see Obama is the Presumptive nominee. It's not official until we have a showdown in Denver."

talk about delusional.

Stop the drama — vote obama.

get ready for a landslide victory in november clinton sheep — and enjoy and reap the benefits for years after despite your refusal to get behind the senator from Illinois. And keep crying — cause that will help.

Molly   June 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Obama is an ARROGANT FRAUD and is NOT qualified to lead our country. Hillary Clinton is the BEST candidate to win back the white house. Bill Clinton does NOT have to endorse, support or even VOTE for Obama. Hillary will do whatever the party leaders say for the good of the party - then go back to the Senate - until the Convention.
OBama will never be elected - he is far too Radical and has zero experience!

MonaP   June 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Obama doesn't deserve the endorsement of the two term Democratic President who balanced the budget and left the country in great economic shape - something Obama refused to acknowledge during the primary.

Obama IS NOT a good Democrat - he's thrown it's leaders and the party under the bus for his own selfish gains. He is a politician of the worst kind.

Obama is not getting this life-long Democrats vote - my country before my party.

Mona P PUMA

Steve   June 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

And - I really hope the "unity" campaigning does NOT include appearances by the former first daughter and former pres "on behalf of Obama."

We don't need a Hillary farewell tour to distract us now.

Ed   June 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Bill, please don't sell your integrity! Don't endorse this dangerous, lying, race baiting empty suit!

he cheats on his own just fine   June 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Obama can steal the election on his own.

Obviously he does not need ANYone's help to get ahead.

He just lies and cheats and steals.

Oh… and uses race as a shield against criticism and as a sword against those who disagree with him.

Down with Obama   June 24th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Clinton has to support the idiot Obama….millions of Clinton supporters don't have to support Obama and will NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Puma PAC Democrat

Beverly   June 24th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Obama ask for the Clinton's help. Please keep up with the news before making comments.

Dexter, Houston TX   June 24th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

HUMMM, Bill has been really off his game lately. Many of comments during the primaries will be used by Republicans during the election.

The jury is still out on an endoresment from Wild Bill

Dx
Houston TX

who is lying?   June 24th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Bill,
The Obama campaign said that you and Hill are liars.

So I can not believe that you actually support Obama.

I will take this as necessary politics for party unity.

I will never vote for Obama.

David   June 24th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

i like barack obama

but i dont think americas ready for a president with a brain

(pun intended)

sarah   June 24th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

bill clinton is probably the most politically savvy pol in this country, so he probably knows better than to endorse obama. i mean, obama is not going to win despite what his zealots believe and bill clinton is smart enough to stay away from that political train wreck.

mcCain 08   June 24th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

We will win this election without the help of the Clintons. Hillary go home and bake more cookies, I'm hungry.

McCain 08

Obama is not for me   June 24th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

I love you Hillary.

Bill, you were a great president.

Obama told me otherwise…

So I can not vote for Obama.

He is a filthy, dirty politician who will do anything to eliminate his competition.

suzy   June 24th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Some of these comments are what is making it so difficult for Hillary supporters to "get in line" with supporting Obama.
If it continues this way, then I say - "Obama, you're on your own"

Steve   June 24th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Please, Bill, stay home. Barack's doing fine by himself. How long would it be before you said something inflammatory to give life to the Republicans?

It astounds me that after several weeks of peace and quiet and Obama against McCain, now "the Clintons" get back in the news and we have comments like Lisa's above that once again stir the pot.

As we see today, she is now gone from pandering to panhandling in an effort to get back the vast amount of money spent in the win-at-all-costs primary. And still she has die-hard supporters who would let someone who cannot manage a campaign budget due to being blinded by the light run our country.

Messiah complex   June 24th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Obama is not what he portrays himself to be.

He is a slick, evil, dirty politician.

He panders and uses the race card to advance himself.

He trashed you and he trashed Bill's presidency.

I do not understand how you can now support this lying, cheating, hypocrit who is so full of himself that he thinks he is a gift to the world.

Desiree   June 24th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

I hope Bill Clinton never endorses or campaigns for Sen. Obama. After the way the Obama camp talked about Bill Clinton bad, accused him of being a racist, talking bad about his presidency and his wife, Bill Clinton should tell Sen. Obama to kiss where the sun don't shine before he supports him. Sen. Obama wishes he was a two term president like Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton owes him nothing.

Jan   June 24th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

Watch out BO….remember…when you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Concerned Citizen of America 08   June 24th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

I think the Clinton's are working out responses that will surely come from questions on comments they made during the primary season about Obama's readiness to lead from day one. It's going to be tough for them to answer Hillary's comment " Sen McCain will be ready on day one, I'll be ready on day one, and Sen Obama has a speech he gave in 2002″.

Johnny C.   June 24th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

All aboard the Slippery Flip-Flop Express!!

Kool-Aid all around!!

Robert   June 24th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Bill Clinton needs to formally endorse Obama or no-one will believe he is truly supporting him. What's taking so long?

franco   June 24th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

yea right, Clinton spent most of his time critical of Obama, now he praises him! Slick Willie has no character!

Susan, PA   June 24th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

How much does Bill charge to speak for Obama?
$200,000 a pop?!

I bet he has to do a lot of talking to pay Hillary's debt now. But who will listen him now?

AJ   June 24th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

It's so amusing to read the comments from all of the Clinton haters. In the past 40 years the nation has not been better off than it was when President Clinton was in the White House. It disgusts me that he has lowered himself to endorse Obama, but thats the way politics works.

Jack   June 24th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Another Slick Willy "FLIP FLOP".

Man, can politicians ever stick by their opinions or values.

Then again, we are talking about Slick Willy.

I'm also not so sure Obama wants any endorsement from Slick Willy.

Bill, just go back to romancing the ladies.

Claire   June 24th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Bill has a large ego and is envious and resentful of Obama's success. This campaign was all about the Clintons winning.

It will take some time for Bill to deflate, and to humble himself to a point where he can genuinely accept Obama's nomination. In the meantime, it will be endorsements through intermediaries or his own superficial statements without his heart in it.

Bridgette-PA   June 24th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

I couldn't have said it better James! and for "Lisa", it is official. Stop hatin' and with your "Go Hillary" mentality, do you plan on sending her $18 mill? Yeah, I think NOT.

OBAMA / SEBELIUS 08!

Michelle   June 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

IMO Bill and Hillary are just saying what they have to say to stay
in the good graces of the party.

Individual voters will make up their own minds. Many Democrats will still vote for McCain.

Maggie, that is a really ignorant comment. and reflects upon your own IQ.

Mcshame   June 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

go Bill we need your help. Bill was the best president we had of our time and i love this guy. I see a lot of similar things between Bill and Obama. Bills influence will make Obama a great president. Obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!! Mccians camp made a remarks to creat another terror attack to benefit their camp lol thats what i call McSHAME/McBush. Obama 08/12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 go democrats

Toni   June 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

The first time he says the wrong thing about Obama I want the O Team to yank him off the stage.

And no, Hill still does not get my money. When she pays her own debt, I will support Barack with more money.

Joyce in Florida   June 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

I am still a Hillary Clinton supporter and will wait until the convention. Barack is the presumptive nominee; he hasn't won yet. STILL HOPING THAT HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!!!

1 of the 18 million who voted for Obama   June 24th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Don't trust the Clintons. Keep your friends near and your enemies nearer.

Earl   June 24th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

On my God…..he sank Billary's campaign and now he's loading up the torpedoes for Barak…..Bill Bill Bill……please go away and do your speeches in foreign countries where they don't understand english..

Keep as far away from Obama and you can…..and by the way….take that one you call your wife with you…..Ooops…on second thought…

That will interfere with you having a good time with those swinging girls you enjoy when you're out of the country without her around .

Plan B …keep her in the kitchen baking cookies, that should keep her occupied and away from Obama's campaign.

Dems are stuck in the fix they rigged   June 24th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

If only Obama was what and who he pretends to be.

Unfortunately the dirty campaign of racial division and hatred that he waged against Hillary Clinton, proved otherwise.

Obama smiles as he spins lies about his opponent and boasts of his own perfection.

Yuck.

The Lady   June 24th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Glad to have you aboard.

hillarysupporter   June 24th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

welcome back Pres. Clinton, but the debt is yours alone with Hillary. You misled us all through by not facing the fact that you had lost the race. It could have been better if you had quit after NC and IN primary!

Matt, Canoga Park   June 24th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Talk about an endorsement you don't want. All the negative things he said, how he helped bring down Hillary's campaign. And now his stink and corruption will be on Obama. You are better off without them near you Barak.

No Bill go tell that scheming deadbeat wife of your to PAY HER OWN DEBTS BY HERSELF. We all saw your tax returns so you have the money yourself. Stop exploiting the naive fools that followed you and pay your bills.

Andrew   June 24th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

The question is how effective is Bill ? He was not that effective in his wife"s campaign otherwise she would have won. Barack was fighting both Bill and Hillary at the same time and towards the end Mccain too. All by himself and won. He has the support which he needs from Hillary for party unity. Bill is overrated and is only effecive in the Latin vote. One Clinton is enough. I do think that maybe Barack should let her be VP because of the strong fight which she put up and forgive her for trying to strong arm him.However, right now he is doing quite well with the women voters on his own with alittle help from his wife. she could be an effective factor later.

hypocrit   June 24th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

I have Obama fatigue.

He is a myth created by the media and a cult following.

I will not vote for this typical, lying, hypocritical politician who uses race as both a shield and a weapon.

All the while pretending he represents hope and change and unity.

Kenneth M   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

I WOULD NOT TRUST THE CLINTONS UNTIL 30 DAYS AFTER THE INORGARAL. YOU GOT TO KEEP BOTH EYES ON THEM.

2Nurselady   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

I have so much respect for the Clintons. They have always done right by this country.

As for the election, the actual nominee will not be decided fully until the Convention in Denver. I hope the pledged delegates who have become disillusioned with Barack Obama and his demonstration of arrogance and self-agrandizement, his already beginning to break promises to the American people, and his failure to come up with any real solutions to the problems of this country outside of those he's "adopted" from Hillary Clinton, will change their votes to Hillary Clinton on the Convention floor which is their right to do.

George   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

anyway these are all democrats. they will not support Mccain. so we poor republicans have to stop singing Clinton songs.

Swiss in Canada   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Lisa??? Wow, what a good, well informed and loyal Democrat you are…Just what America needs….

Tony, Powell, OH   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Maggie:

Actually, I'm not a religious nut, nor am I corporate elitist, and my IQ is actually significantly higher than pig iron. I think your naive, pathetically arrogant comment speaks for what people detest about Obama supporters…misplaced arrogance and…well…just not being that smart.

By the way, you forgot to also include racist in your ridiculous little rant. Don't forget that for next time, Maggie!

JB from NH   June 24th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

He should be committed!

Democrat   June 24th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Why does everyone act like Obama is a God? He hasn't done anything that spectacular in his life. In fact if he does not pick Hillary Clinton as his VP I may well be voting for McCain in the fall. I am sick and tired of all the nastiness from the Obama supporters for anyone that does not think he walks on water. If they were smart they would be looking for allies and not allienating people.

Phantom of the Oprah   June 24th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

You are a far better woman than I am.

Obama gutted and eviscerated you with his lies and his race baiting.

The DNC swiftboated you.

The nastiness, meanness, bias and filthy vulagr attacks were painful for this life long democrat to watch.

So I left the party after 35 years.

I will vote against the Media MYTH of Obama.

Linda of Atlanta   June 24th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Bill Clinton can keep his support for himself. He is the one who needs to repair the presidential legacy he so recklessly ruined by being hateful. Most Americans thought he, above all others, was beyond race baiting. He showed us that he wasn't and he blamed Obama "for playing the race card on me"! Nobody gives a hoot if he stays behind his desk and keeps his mouth closed. In fact, that is my preference.
His support is disingenuous anyway. If he is sincere, why didn’t he issue his own statement? He has never resisted opening his own mouth before. I am over him!

MD FOR OBAMA   June 24th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Just as long as Barack pays off my wife's debt.
right?

Charles   June 24th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Barack Obama doesn't deserve the Clinton's suypport in any way. He allowed his supporters to tar and feather Bill as a racist. THE OBAMA CAMP was the only ones to play the race card… and for that, I will NEVER support Barack Obama.

Larry   June 24th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

The Obomanuts are out in full force today slamming anybody that has a opinion. Well slam all they want it still boils down to who a person checks on the ballot. MY check goes for McCain because as a democrat i can no longer support the way the party is run, and the DNC is responsible for that. Democrat for McCain

Sherri   June 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Welcome aboard President Clinton.

Democrats unite!

Belle2   June 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

The Clintons have no choice but to publicly support Obama. I will not be swayed by anything they say; after all they have a virtual gun to their heads. If Obama wants my vote (and I am not sure he does), he must convince me himself.

Peter E   June 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Please Bill! DO go out and campaign for Obama! I'm sure it will help him tremendously, just like your million gaffes helped your wife in the primaries!

No to stolen primaries   June 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

I hope that the corrupt tactics of the Obama campaign, the vitriol of his supporters, and the blatent abuses of authoritity by the DNC to fix this primary for Obama, DO NOT GET REWARDED WITH A NOV WIN.

That would set the standard for all future primaries to be dirty, hateful, racebaiting and biased.

I want to preserve freedom, justice, equality and fair campaigning.

shawquan   June 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

As a former Bill Clinton supporter, I say to Mr. Clinton - No thanks, we don't need or want your "support". And one other thing: Don't let the door knob hit you on the way out.

Your behaviour during this campaign was shameful and disgraceful and I can no longer even stand the sight of you or your family.

Please just go away - you missed your opportunity to do some real good for this country and I believe your legacy will suffer for it.

How sad when someone who was once the force for change becomes the very thing that needs to be changed.

I guess that's what happens when you outlive your usefullness.

Super D   June 24th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Poor Clintons, this has got to be killing them. They hate Obama and know he's so wrong on everything, but they got to bite the bullet for the so called good of the party.

We'll see how long this lasts…….

olu   June 24th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Why not leave Bill alone, he had lost his diginity.

Alex in TX   June 24th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Hey Lisa…you're like the Knight in Monte Python….it's mearly a flesh wound.

Peter E   June 24th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

I'm laughing my head off! If Bill campaigns for Obama the same way he did for his wife then Obama might as well suspend his campaign now. He won't have a prayer!

Joey   June 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Oooh, my! Doesn't it seem like Obama's supporters are the sorest winners? I mean for crying out loud you won and the topic of debate isn't if it was fair or not it's how the campaign is moving forward and the sense of supremacy that he and his current base of supporters can do it all alone. You won't get Clinton voters by being continually vengeful nor will you win the white house. By and large all Hillary's supporters and surrogates have been kind and gracious and respectful of Obama which is a sign of her leadership from the top all the way down and Obama camp has been completely the opposite… Grow up … I don't like him as the nominee and if you want me or people like me to "SHOW UP" to vote for you in November stop kicking us because you already won… Thanks!

rw md   June 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

It takes a lot of guts for Bill and Hillery to back a lieing flip flopper
for president, I'm a staunch democrat and I can't.
What I laugh about is Lou Dobbs talking about the media
being so much in the tank for Obama, he's absolutly right,
it's sad.
As far as CNN goes, they hate the Clintons so much, especially
Jack Cafferty, I watch MSNBC until Lou Dobbs comes on.
I used to love CNN.

Interesting   June 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

It's Okay President Clinton. Be kind. The 18 Million voters know the real deal. I can't wait to see the tape of Michelle Obama calling you names in Oct-08.

Lisa   June 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Bill & Hillary vs Michelle & Barack? Enough said!

Bill from Woodstock   June 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

It would be nice for Bill to make a great speech and endorse Obama and say nice things about the future of the country, the world, etc. Then please of please let him go away for a while. We can have him back to repeat his nice words at the Convention, then go away again until just before the election to again repeat his nice words. Hopefully that way he will not do too much damage!

Jamie, NY   June 24th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Ummm…Thanks, but No thanks sabateur.

Musnick   June 24th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

It has been stated thousands of years ago, that when the end of the world nears, dacoits and hooligans will rule the world causing immense misery to the people at large. we see that in Bush - we are going to see that in Obama or Maccain, for sure. Poor people!

JimS.   June 24th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

So many Clinton haters, so many people desperate to rationalize their hate of both of them based on their perceived understanding of what Bill and Hillary think. And all of them wrong.

You Clinton haters consistently doubt Bill and Hillary's motives, and you're all consistently wrong. For some people, Hillary and Bill can do nothing right, ever. No reason for those baseless charges to stop now. No reason to let facts get in the way of an already-made-up mind, is there? (hey, that Rovian way of thinking has worked for Republicans for years, right?)

Esther from Cuyahoga Falls Ohio   June 24th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Bill is holding out for the convention he thinks something is going to throw a monkey wrench in Obama's Campaigne.

Dan, MA   June 24th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Oh please keep Bill behind the scenes and away from the public.

Kathryn Irby - Metairie, LA   June 24th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Like Hillary, Bill Clinton, has always been an intellectual, so I'm not surprised! Obama in 2009!!!!

vw   June 24th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Hey, President,
Whenever you and your wife, Senator, come out to support the so-called nominee, it only means that you both surrend to this hijacked party and will help to damage this undemocratic party as well.

4 more years   June 24th, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Obama stole this nomination by getting his supporters out there to trash and bash you.

He played the race card again and again to his advantage.

His supporters were filthy, foul and nasty to You and to your supporters.

That kind of dirty politics and fixed primary DOES not get rewarded by my vote.

I prefer freedom, fair campaigns, justice and equality over the rule of Obama over us all.

I can wait 4 more years.

Breaking News:   June 24th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

The bible teaches us to WATCH AS WELL AS PRAY. I'll be watching the Clintons behavior very closely.

Heidi

Enlightened Voter   June 24th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

I really could care less whether bill or hillary support Obama or not. I lost all respect for both of them when they let their true colors show. They are a disgrace to america, along with mcwa. And now hillary, worth 109 million, has the nerve to ask those hard working people who she supports so much to donate money out of their broke pockets. PULEEEEASE!

Susie B.Smiley   June 24th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

We have some of the stupidest people in American writing about hating Senator Obama and judging him. Stop being so ignorant. You need to grow up and be an example to the young people in this country. Hating someone without a cause is a sin. You people who are hatemongers will have to give an account of your ways. You are not God. You are no better than Senator Obama and some of you are worst than Senator Obama. God is no respecter of person. We were all created by God. Being so-called white is nothing spectacular. You are fooling yourselves. Senator Obama is being used by God to bring change to America. Get over it. No weapon formed against him shall prosper and God being for him is more than the whole world against him.

for fair play   June 24th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

And I am committed to fair campaigns and justice and equality.

The democratic primary betrayed all those principles and ideals when they trashed one of their own candidates just to advance and advantage the other, lesser candidate.

I left the party and won't be back until they return to fair play and honest elections.

Beverly, NYC   June 24th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

I will believe it when Bill says it not a "spokesman."

puff   June 24th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

BARACK OBAMA IS NOT FIT TO WIPE THE BOOTS OF BILL CLINTON. I HOPE BILL TELLS HIM WHERE TO GO.
OBAMA IS SO ARROGANT I AM SURE HE THINKS HE CAN WIN WITHOUT THE CLINTONS. LET THE DNC WORRY ABOUT THEIR FAUX CANDIDATE AND LEAVE THE CLINTONS OUT OF IT.
THEY SHOULD BOTH GO INDEPENDENT OR JOIN UP WITH MCCAIN.

Sharon Minnesota   June 24th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Sorry, but I just have to get my two cents worth in here on the Obama/Clinton reunion. Bill, Hillary stop this madness before you totally ruin your credibility among people who have loved the Clinton's. I'm afraid it will be impossible for me to watch this train wreck happen all over again. Hopefully, it won't go viral on utube!

Bill Clinton, whom I once admired, has fallen too far. I will never trust him again. He is way too wrapped up in himself. Obama could win without Bill Clinton. President Obama–I love it!

I commend you Bill, after being raked over the coals by the DNC, the Obama team, and the news media in general, I am impressed you would consider supporting him. I personally would love to see a McCain/Hillary team, as a lifelond Democrat I will never cast a vote for OBAMA, NO OBAMA for my wonderful country!

HILLARY!!!!!!! You are the best.

Obama is nothing but a racebaiting imposter who stole the nomination from you

AND THIS IS A SURPRISE BECAUSE? WHY SHOULD ANYONE BE SURPRISED BY HIS DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE LOST OF HIS WIFE'S PRESIDENTIAL BID. I CERTAINLY WAS NOT. BUT I KNEW THAT IN THE END, HE WOULD SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.

We Dems Unite out of Necessity and our commonality.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

Further proof that Bill Clinton should be committed (to a sanitarium).
