being characterized as a racist may make it hard to "get over".

and being all about change, why would you want to have "old politics" on your side?

I am SO happy that the rest of our country has finally been made aware of what scumbags the Clintons are. They are both awful human beings. They do not care about anybody but themselves.

Hey Hill, explain to me why you are asking average citizens to pay off your debts? he average citizen makes $45,000 a year and has $10,000 in credit card debt. Last I checked you have 100 mil in the bank and can speak for 45 minuts and make more than most people make in year. That just shows you have no concept of right and wrong.

Rendell should be Obama's vp.

Why should Bill Clinton campaign for Obama. Don't forget Obama and camp twisted some words and called Bill and Hillary racist.

ditto

Give Bill till the end of June, then he should endorse

I am a Clinton supporter, who will vote in November for Obama. However, my vote is to support the Democratic Party so that we don't have a Republican in the White House. Bill Clinton is under no obligation to come out immediately in support of the Democratic candidate either. He will hear him speak up for Obama and he has the right to choose his own time. You people who have supported Obama from the beginning act like you own the bank. I don't feel I need to get over anything. You folks need to realize that without my support and that of others who vote for Obama come November, you will not even have him elected. It's the attitude of his staunch supporters who irk me and make me want to vote Republican. However, my principles in the Democratic process won't allow me to vote for McCain.

Enough already!!! People put Bill Clinton into a hole this election. He was doomed either way. Of course he supported his wife, and she deserves his support. Why does everyone say the Clintons are so entitled, yet everyone feels like Obama is entitled to everyones support. That is why we have elections, we have the right to CHOOSE for ourselves who is most qualified. You vote who you want, I vote who I want. It's called democracy. People don't change others opinions by throwing everyone under the bus, people are smarter than that.

I choose to vote Obama because Hillary is no longer in the running, not because he is entitled to it being a democrat but because I get to CHOOSE for whom I vote. As do you.

bill,
"if you do not have anythinig nice to say, do not say anything at all."
when you are ready to join and support the next president, we will be ready to accept your support.

Vote Obama/Kennedy (Caroline Kennedy) 2008.

Isn't there more news than this. Clinton said he will back Obama and he will but lets get over this. Start writing about the issues of the candidates so people can understand which candidate they want to vote for in November. Lets quit bashing the Clintons and McCain and get down to substance. Everything on the ticker any more is all about Obama. Hes not president yet and I for one am really tired of him saying he mis spoke or someone is telling lies or taking things out of context. This needs to be a fair election not a one sided one.

Gov. Rendell is right on the money.

I would also like to add that not only does he need to declare his support immediately but enthusiastically because that is the only way to repair the damage he and Hiliary has inflicted upon us (all Democratic supporters).

I was very disappointed in the Clintons and I look to seem them embrace Obama and make us proud of them once again but helping all Americans and yes, uniting us all (Black, White, Hispanic, Jew, Christian,Women, Men, Old & Young). We have got so much work to do people.

Bill Clinton is right to feel the way he does.

Both Bill and Hillary are wrong to campaign for Obama.
Hillary is whoring herself to Obama for cash to pay her campaign debt.

No one should put party above principles.

No one should sell out for a buck.

Couldn't agree more – get over it, Bill. Maybe he thinks he can pull off yet another power trip by playing hard to get....it only reflects badly on him, again. He can influence lots of voters so he should put on his party face and get out there....imagine how upset he'll be if McCain actually wins this election (or maybe not – is he leading the Hillary '12 conspiracy??)

That's fine if he does not get over it. The race is over and he will not be in the White House running around and getting in trouble.

People need to cut Bill Clinton some slack. He probably took 10 years off his life campaigning for his wife. How many husbands in the US would do that, even considering his history?

Going into this primary season, it was upto the Democrats to loose this fall in the general. Now, after the way the primary was handled by both Senators Clinton and Obama, I think that it may be there for the Republicans to win. Thank you Bill, Hill, and Barack.

Why is Bill Clinton so "miffed"? Politics is a contact sport, remember? Don't complain about getting hit or dirtied up a bit, remember?

Bill Clinton disappointed me greatly and aliented a large chunk of the Democratic base who had stood up for him and supported him through his problems. I have supported him for years, but I saw a side of him during the Primary that I truly do not like. I think if President Clinton keeps a low profile in the background of all of this, it would be better for all concerned.

Bill like all politicians will come around and support Obama. He has intrests no matter the outcome of the general elections.

Bill doesn't have to get over anything. Obama is a flawed candidate and a lot of Dems sold out both Bill and Hillary to jump on the Obama bandwagon, despite the fact that the guy has absolutely zero substance. I cannot wait for the big "I told you so" moment in November.

President Clinton, with all due respect, needs to put his strong emotions and hurt feelings in his back pocket and man up.

Okay, he was running in a race, he fell down, now he can just sit there and roll around on the ground and wail about his wounds, or he can pick himself up, brush himself off, and help the the Democrats finish the race.

Man up, Mr. Clinton, put a bandage on your wounds to stop the bleeding, stand up, dust off, and win the race for us all.

Please, for goodness sake. I don't want to remember you as a crybaby. For your legacy depends upon it.

"Fast Eddie" Obama is so far left that he has left America. No DNC members (present or past including Bill Clinton) should support leftist candidate like Fast Eddie Obama.

Sorry, time to move on. Could care less win or lose.

CW,

Your ad hominem attack on McCain belies your ignorance of the issues. You would do wise to research them before making unfounded claims. Can you explain to me why McCain is the same as Bush? Because other than on one or two issues – issues on which the entire Republican party more or less agrees – they are extremely different. My question to you is: can you actually stick to the issues, or are you another one of those shallow Obama supporters who simply flocks like a chicken without a head to someone who is taking advantage of your discontent with some of the state of current affairs by clamoring for change?

It seems to me that you are simply allowing Obama and his campaign to prey on your unhappiness. Maybe you should research the issues. If you do, you'll find that neither candidate's economic policies make sense, neither candidate's energy policies make sense, and they're both just tossing the usual political rhetoric at us. Obama says he is not a typical politician; his record indicates otherwise. Do the research, CW, and you'll see that neither candidate is much good at all. That's really the sad state of American politics.

PS – You misspelled "Barack" in the name you chose for your comment.

I knew you- the media ...oops..."the CNN Moderators" would not deem my comment appropriate to post!

The shoe fits...so, post it!

THE FIRST COMMENT!

They're both on record as being pro-death penalty in certain cases, pro-free trade, pro-welfare reform...Obama and Bill Clinton have the same positions!

Face it Clinton and Obama supporters (I support both): in all ways that matter, they agree with each other on virtually EVERY issue! Where's all the hate coming from?

This is funny. If any of you Obama lovers had a clue as to what his economic proposals would do to the money in your pocket not to mention what it would do to the economy of the country, you would not be supporting him. The fact is that if you educate yourselves on the dollars and cents of his proposals and the long term effect instead of the glamorious here and now retoric you would not support him. I am an independent and vote on the policies of the caniditate. I have educated myself on Obama's proposals and the fact is that our country will be so much worse off in four years if Obama becomes President. The fact is that 3/4 of what he is proposing will not get through congress. I want a president that will work with congress to get things done. Not pander to the fatherest wing of there party.

True.

Why haven't the Clintons figured it out yet?

What do most Americans see when they look at the Clintons and McCain? Put simply, they see the "Status Quo" – a continuation to the never-ending chain of sloth, inactivity and out-of-touch realities that make up the United States Government of today.

America needs fresh faces, young minds and new ideas to lead us out of the current quagmire of failed economic, foreign, energy and environmental policies. In essence, the United States needs a regime change.

What happened to us? Many years ago the United States dominated the world as a "Superpower" – both militarily and economically – but with time comes change. Today the world is evolving toward one dominated by "Economic Might". No longer a leader or pace setter, the United States finds itself slipping, inexorably, toward a resting place amongst the middle of the pack.

America is in dire need of a retooling – we need change.

What did Bill Clinton say at one time. " If you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen". Or somthing having to do with putting on the pads and taking a hit. He sounds like a sore loser if he is still upset about this. He probably went of the field and throw his helmet lol. In the game of life. Altho an expensive game. It is all just a game. Former president of the United States. Get over it! Life goes on.

Its better if Bill is out completely. Let him go away.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Go Obama

Bill and Obama will be fine.

I agree with you Governer. But we may not see a whole hearted support from Bill. Hillary is and will be supporting Obama as he will be helping her in recouping her debts. It is more than Bill / Hillary, democrats should worry about Hillary's hard-to-convince supporters. Hillary should take the responsibility and convey a consistent message in support of Obama throughout the upcoming national campaign..

While I agree with Rendell, it is difficult for me to take anything he says at this point as more than just words with no meaning. This is a governor, who, prior to his state's primary election, told the press that he did not think that "Pennsylvanians would vote for a black candidate"...same premise he used when he, Rendell, beat Lynn Swann, when Lynn ran for Ed's gubernatorial seat. As a Pennsylvania native, it saddened me to hear my "home state's" governor basically telling the world that Pennsylvanians were THAT narrow-minded and stuck in the past. While I hoped that he was wrong, his words may have planted such a notion in the minds of many in that state's electorate, thus affecting the vote. Rendelll's opinion, in my opinion, is a moot point, at this point.

Mr. Obama was criticizing the 90's and Clinton administration over the course of the campaign. He used this to desecrated Hillary’s experience in white-house now he is rushing for Mr. Clinton support I thought you do not need old politics and to learn from 90's.

Mr. Obama Why do you need the endorsement of the president on 90's that you trashed? If I were you, I will go out and say Thank you very much I do not need Mr. Clinton’s Help.

I wish Tim Russell is around to ask you this in the meet the press.

I can't wait till the media weak-up from this sleep and turn against you.

Wondwossen

PUMA.......................hear that?

Time to unite for victory!

Obama/Nunn in 2008 and beyond!

No Way Ed,

Obama stole te nomination from Hillary. She was supposed to be the nominee and people voted for Obama who should never have been allowed to run since it was Hillary's turn to be President. We all know she won the most votes and would beat McCain easily because of her strong foreign experience and work in the White House. Bill has every right to be upset and demand she be place as the nominee at the convention. Im from Ohio and my vote is important so listen to me and what i say !

Clintons have my vote

Let's see now, the DNC rips off the voters of Florida and Michigan and hence Hillary Clinton, the rightful nominee, AND the voters of America and we're supposed to get over it? This isn't about electing a Democratic president, it's about Democracy, and Obama and the DNC railroaded Democracy. 'nuff said.

Wow, sounds like someone is angling for a vice presidential bid.

It"s the racial undertones that were injected by the Obama camp. Bill Clinton has done more for the black race and was villified and the Obama camp tried unfairly to damage and tarnish his lifetime of working for the black race. I don't blame Bill Clinton at all. He is not a
racist.

"Fat chance" of either of the Clintons doing much to help Obama win the election in November. They are still hoping for someone to "pull the rug out from under Obama" before or during the August convention. Mark my words - these two people do not know "what an exit curtain is for."

You will see them "scrambling" all the way until November to "Cover their A–"............that is what they have in mind....cover their loss and they can't do it if they say they are not "running anymore"-that is why Hillary simply "suspended her campaign".....that way she can still get money from the "hard pressed to just survive public"......same game....same old political game.
End of story.

TRIPLE WELL QUALIFIED WILL SWEEP AWAY THE OPPONENTS,THIS IS CLEAR INTENTIONS////

In due time all will be well, and the Clinton's will come aboard with strong support.

Egos will heal and the party will unite, no one in the Dem nor some Rep wants another Bush terms.

Not only is it time for Bill Clinton to get over it, but with $4.00 a gallon gas, the war in Iraq, foreclosures, high healthcare cost, our poor economy, it's time for all Clinton supporters to get over it and vote for Obama in November. Voting for McBush would be suicide!

I voted for Bill Clinton, but, I don't believe he is the same man he was then. He has become racist and is a sore loser. I'm sure it's because the blame has been put on him for her loss. I do agree. GET OVER IT!!!! To Obama, you don't need the Clintons!!!!! You've gotten along so far without them. Hillary's supporters are either Democrats or upset women. I think that once the draw that curtain in the polling booth, they must make a decision.Do they really want McCain or are you also sore losers? Obama should stick to the issues where he has his strength and let the Clintons go in the corner and suck their thumbs! Hillary can be a strong senator and can do the most good there, now. I think Obama will find a place for her in his cabinet that will put her talents to the best use. She should NOT BE CHOSEN FOR VP!!!! Bill would again be back in the picture, and we don't want that! My choice is Bill Richardson who had the guts to stand with Obama . Colin Powell should be Secretary of Defense, for whomever gets the presidency. The world is waiting! Let's show everyone who we are!!!!

The former President wants everyone to forget and move on with regard to the disgrace he brought to the office of the President durning his terms in office but refuses to move on and give Senator Obama his due. Come on Bill! Better yet maybe Senator Clinton should move on and dump Bill after all the disgrace he has brought to her.

President Clinton will have to find the actions he wishes to have speak for him on his own – let him reflect on his own about this (this shouldn't be an issue). I always thought the extent that Bill Clinton became directly and visually invovled with Senator Clinton's campaign for his old office was very detrimental. I had a sense back when all the living former Presidents and First Lady Clinton attended Coretta Scott King's funeral and all spoke that First Lady Clinton was not going to be President – contrasting her speaking style with her husbands (they both spoke) the audience was giving her husband's eulogy "Amens" and her own eulogy polite attention (I felt back then that Senator Clinton was not entirely comfortable with who she was or wanted to be). At the same time – I didn't know I would support Barack Obama until the NYC Primary in February (it still wasn't going to be my own Senator but I was leaning to Edwards too).

Back to the point – it has to be hard for President Clinton because I think he wanted to rally people back to the themes that elected him President the first time – he won the popular center of this country ... but this was his wife's campaign and even GW's father was hardly as visual as Bill Clinton – even GW (amazingly) was able to stand out in the public on his own w/ limited visual attention/help from his father .... there's some kind of bizarro world conflict here – oh, I forgot, the Bush's stole the last two elections. Anyway, I wish Bill Clinton luck.

How about the former president is out of the country at the moment??? Please with the know-it-alls in this country. The internet has made fools think they are wise.

Governor, you are absolutely right, Bill need to get over it and join The Obama Boat for unity. Bill and Hillary were really convince that they were entitled to the presidency, now that Barack won, they have a very hard to admit that they lost. We can all see their true color today. Very selfish and arogant people.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!! If you people want this country to turn around, we as a nation need to come together and support OBAMA, because he is our best hope right now. There is nothing we can do about HRC losing the primaries, so we might as well come together as a party so we can steer this country in the right direction.

OBAMA 08

Wah-wah-wah...good lord Bill, get over it and play ball !! Have a good 4th-
dave

And on 5...4...3...2...1; here comes; Brian TN, Hillary Supporter, Hillary or McCain, Sharon MN, Karen FL, Uncle Sam, Charlotte, Belle: Hillary was cheated, empty suit, she had the popular vote, she better be VP, write her name in and on......on......on.....NOT THIS TIME TROLLS.

If I never again hear the names Clinton, Bush, or Kennedy, I will be quite happy.

After the way Bill "helped" Hillary during the Primary, I'm thinking that having him keep quiet and on the sidelines might work out better for Obama.

yup. he needs to move on if that is the case. i completely agree.

It is Bill Clinton's call and only Bill Clinton's call as to whether he wants or needs to "get over it". Obama would benefit from putting the "race card" politics behind him. If Obama wants Bill Clinton's support then he should apologize for trying to paint "Bill Clinton" as a racist as that is certainly not the case.

Bill is a political animal and will do whats right to aid his party. He knows he is no longer the party's leader and thats a tough thing to admit for him but he'll come around.

I would not worry about Bill, but the right wing nuts who do not care about our country and will do anything to elect another "C" student politician to the white house so they can continue the rape of our resourses and enrich themselves further.

Yeah, get over it and start thinking about how you are gonna pay off that debt, baby. 'Cause you ain't gettin a DIME of my endorsement money. Obama, don't send one cent of my endorsement to them.

The Clintons should start a third party...something dearly needed in our political structure. I agree with Rendell, Bill should get over it and move on to better things than campaigning for a loser.

Is this another gottcha question by CNN to cause trouble? Do we know how Bill feels? Heres what Gov.Rendell said " he's not sure if Bill Clinton is still upset with the ultimate result". The media is out of hand,Obama backers to the fullest. Look at the question they posed to Mccains advisor about a hypothetical terrorist attack helping Mccain in the election and when he answers; it's AH HA!!!! we got you. It's not really journalism it's more like tabloid fodder. I don't blame the Clintons if they don't support the Obama's they were labeled racists by their backers.
Yes I'm another Clinton supporter voting for Mccain.

we democrats MUST unite to beat the lies, crimes, and injustice of the republicans!

McCON is a complete disaster who continues to spread the white house's lies and misinformation. he supports their deregulations that affect US on a daily basis with tainted food, lead-filled toys, dangerous pharmaceuticals, THE HIGH GAS PRICES...

do not be duped by the repubs any longer-offshore drilling is not even close to necessary! if you're ready to stop being a right-wing, neocon pawn and want a better life, go to stopoilspeculators.com

Bill Clinton is the slickest guy I've ever seen. He is a prooven liar.

Oh, if he is still angry, jeez Billybob must know how Gore felt when he did not support Gore. Whiner, guess Billybob was hoping for an easy pardon of his impeachment, now he has to beg Obama to pardon him so that he can continue his philandering.

Bill looks like a bitter, sore loser. It's time to grow up.

Bill and Hillary need to realize there is always 2012, and Bill should be focused on getting more votes for Hillary for that election. Bill should also go get some elp with his anger management before he tarnishes his wife's image and ruins her chances of being president of the US. I think Hillary has a chance in 2012, and she should be repairing her wounds and analyze where she went wrong in her bid for president this time around and do things different.

But I do not think McCain will become president. Obama will be president in January 2009.

Governor Rendell...I agree with your thoughts about Party unity and to win the election. So, Bill clinton should join tomorrow with Hillary to show his fullest support to win the election...otherwise, Clinton is greedy, hypocritic and not trustworthy.

Obama 2008.

If Bill wants to regain his legacy he should accept Obama as the nominee of the democactic party. He should also work hard to get Obama elected to the oval office.When this happens the party will forgive him for some of the things that came out of his mouth during the primary season.

"What do you expect, Hillary and Bill said Obama was not qualified to be President. If they start singing his praises now then they were either lying then or they are lying now."

Exactly, oilrules. They've completely boxed themselves in with the negativity they had earlier. I wish people would stop pretending Hillary didn't run an insanely negative and divisive campaign. Just because she finally dropped out doesn't mean we should now say that she fought a good fight. Do the senators that gave her a standing ovation really not remember the "panic" in Washington a few months ago that she was killing the party?

I do not agree that Bill should get over it, if he wants to choose to campaign for Obama than is fine, but do not force him to campaign for someone that he doesn't believe was elected to the nomination.
He was selected not elected, I am a pledge delegate for Hillary Clinton from California and I am looking forward to supporting Hillary at the convention.
Obama supporters wants us to get over it and get behind Obama, well let me tell you something, it is up to Bill Clinton and Hillary supporters to make that decision and not the Democratic Party or Obama camp, if we wnat this party to unite as everyone is preaching about you have to respect everyone and their decisions.

In the Spirit of Democracy!

The Clintons Do not understand Fair play. Both of them wanted to get back in the White House so bad. If they are still upset, they are obviously upset about Democracy. I am afraid they have already done enouth damages to the Democratic Party. She has a need to proove she is right-all the time.

"get over it"

That must be the new catch-phrase.

Obama said it about Hillary's supporters. Now Rendell bleats it.
Wow! What an ingenious way to gain support–NOT!

Maybe Bill is ticked off because Obama spouted lies about his presidency. Maybe Bill doesn't want to support a candidate who
too green (inexperienced) and yellow (cowardly).

Obama needs to "get over it." He cannot skate to the presidency on charm and speeches. He is overly ambitious and unqualified. Obama is Bush 3. That's right–Bush ran on the change and unity
mantra, too!

Oh, and by the way, the Constitution requires that a president be native born. All candidates should be required to show proof beyond any doubt.

Hey, Barack Obama. Let's see your original birth certificate with a SEAL and signature. That "doc" at your site proves nothing. This
Constitutional requirement of native born is too important for there to be any doubt.

CNN, please post. Thank you.

As an Obama supporter, I have to agree with "oil rules." To now turn face and admit that, contrary to his smarmy well-poisoning pronouncements before, Obama would be better for the country than McSame, Bill has to acknowledge what he did to the primary. And that ain't pretty.

It is amazing the amount of people that have bought into the crap that the press churns out. Bill Clinton was a very good president and popular, we seem to forget that, but now he is treated like some sort of pest. If Nobama gets in, he will be treated with much more scorn and criticism because he is going to lead the country to ruin.

Hey Oil Rules,

McCain said he was against the tax cuts, then supports them. Regardless of his explanation, he flip flopped. Was he lying? Is that loyalty to his own beliefs or to ensure he wins support from his party?

And people seem to forget that Bush had never even left the country and became President. He was governor of a state where the GOP completely rules – and if you're from Texas as I am – you'll notice the big gap in the rich v poor, quality of education and employment.

And let's not forget the numerous Clinton snafus throughout the campaign season.

People make the case to be President. Only a FORMER PRESIDENT IS TRULY EXPERIENCED TO BE PRESIDENT. Regardless of how many years in the Senate, a person – male or female – is not truly ready to run a country that has such global influence. Anyone who thinks that years in the senate or running a state truly compares to the stress and responsibility of running a COUNTRY like the U.S. is outrageously short sighted.

I think this reflects how many of us Clinton supporters are feeling...not ready to jump and down about a candidate we never supported in the first place. Jump on the bandwagon? I cant speak for President Clinton, but I know Im not about to forget my reasons why Obama shouldn't be President. He will never get my vote and that's my right as a voter. Even if Hillary herself came to pick me up & drove me to the polls & asked me to vote for him, Id tell her no. He is simply not ready.

wow, good job Rendell, this is too funny. Get over it Billy boy!

Great news. I believe Bill s getting closer to doing the right thing. Just give him a little more time. Can't be easy for him though, after being so sure he would end up back in the White House. Let's try not to be bitter about this delay We've had enough of that.

Thank the Lord for good sense. I have been a heavy Obama supporter from the beginning, but I like Hillary's spirit and drive. And I used to like Bill Clinton, but he is starting to work my nerves...for goodness sake – get over it....Hillary (and Rendell) were correct – we can't focus on the past...we can't change it...so unite the party...whether its for the sake of our nation, or for the sake of your political career Bill, get out there and start campaigning...the more time you sit in silence, the more damage you do to your image. If Hillary can get over it and get on board with the Obama train, so can you.

Just imagine the powerhouse campaign they will have if Hillary, Bill and Obama all teamed up. That would be simply AMAZING!!! They would draw so much support that the Republicans will be put to shame....

Obama – YES WE CAN!!!!

Why is this being reported as if Bill Clinton is upset when he clearly released a statement a few days ago that he is behind Senator Obama? The article is not news at all, it's more like gossip. When Bill Clinton is ready to come out publicly with Obama he will do so. In the mean time CNN please stop creating more drama between the Clintons and Obama. The article is completely unfair to Bill Clinton

I agree with Obama Supporter. Cut the guy some slack. He'll come on board in due time.

what so funny is that bill, hillary and their camp is the ones that was attacking Sen Obama, thereby forcing him to respond.

Now Bill's upset about the wrong he feels that was perpetrated against him? unbelieveable!

Yes Bill get over it. I'm so over it, I am voting for McCain. My party does not value my vote.

Who is this guy and who cares what he thinks? Bill Clinton sees the writing on the wall that many people are too blind to see.....Obama is supremely UNQUALIFIED and if he is elected, we are in deep doo-doo.

RENDELL IS A TRAITOR LIKE THE REST OF THEM!!!!!!!!

GO BILL!

I LOVE THE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW CAN ANYONE EXPECT BILL TO BACK BO AFTER HE ATTEMPTED TO DESTROY BILL'S LEGACY? NOT TO MENTION BASHING HIS WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOBAMA

I LOVE YOU HILLARY AND BILL <3

So much is at stake in this year's election. Quite honestly, our country's future is at stake. We all need to put aside our personal feeling and pride, thrust our support for Sen Obama. I feel confident, come November we will be one team.

Its easy to say to get over it but let's be honest, its hard to get over something you thought you had and lose it. Plus, he probably feels that he let his wife down and he feels let down by the party insiders that they thought were going to side with them over Obama. However, this is the reality and they, as well as many others, need to move on. Its been over since February honestly, and its time to move toward November. Unlike you nutty PUMA people I feel noooo pity for (because your NUTS), I know for him its much more personal, so I can understand, but he can't hide forever.

Please tell me that the Governor was interrupted during budget negotiations to offer this opinion.

Bill Clinton's pouting confirms what many of us have always believed about him: He is a self-centered, egomaniacal jerk, who saw his wife's run for the presidency as an extension of his own legacy. The shame of it is that she is much more qualified for ANY office than he ever was. His inane, goofy comments on her behalf hurt her candidacy. Obama will be well served to ignore him.

I will never understand the ongoing love affair between democrats and Bill Clinton, nor will I ever fathom republicans' reverence for Ronald Reagan. They are both responsible for the mess we are in today.

At this point I'm not sure it matters. I don't know how many of us would believe him if he said he supports Obama anyway.

I've read enough articles about him holding a grudge to think it doubtful that he will go out of his way to support Obama and campaign for him. However, you can bet if Hillary was the nominee he would expect Obama to do whatever he could to get her elected.

let him talk his time he needs it so give him a break

OOOOOOOhh – Let 'em soak a little while longer, makes the head cooler in the end and allows for a cleaner start to the next faze.

....but after that be a 'BIG BOY', hold your chin-up and move-on (Bill and Hillary).

...AND HER TRUE SUPPORTERS

It's a shame the Obamabots don't see what is going to happen. Many Hillary Clinton supporters, including myself, will be voting against Obama in November. Bill Clinton has every right to not want to be involved with the manipulating and ultimately weak presidential candidate Barack Obama. Stay strong, Bill, and we will wait for Hillary to come back for 2012!

PUMA!~

Stop with the Clinton bashing! He's the best president we've had in agges, and she is a terrific Senator and would have made a great president. She;s being very gracious now towards Obama and Clinton is saying he'll support him and campaign for him. What more do you want? Obama supporters think he's the second coming. I hate to tell you, but he's the second coming of Mayor Daley with his insider Chicago dealings and his refusal to go along with Federal campaign spending limits, and hisfreindship with Rezko. Who's the insder now? Change? Yes, a change back to old machine politics.

ED NEEDS TO SHUT UP SINCE HE HAS NOTHING TO BASE HIS COMMENTS ON. OBAMA NOW SAYS HE NEEDS THE CLINTONS. BEFORE OBAMA WAS SAYING THE CLINTONS WERE WORTHLESS, DISINGENUOUS, UNTRUSTWORTHY, AND BAD FOR AMERICA. OBAMA STOLE HILLARY'S POLICY IDEAS AND WAS HIGHLY CRITICAL OF BILL'S ADMINISTRATION SAYING IT WASN'T GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY AT ALL DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE HAD 8 YEARS OF THE GREATEST PROSPERITY THIS NATION HAS SEEN IN A CENTURY. OBAMA, HIS CAMPAIGN AND SUPPORTERS CALLED BILL AND HILLARY RACISTS AND SAID THEY PLAYED THE RACE CARD AGAINST HIM (OBAMA). OBAMA, WHEN GIVING A SPEECH ONE DAY, MENTIONED THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS IN THE LAST 100 YEARS (FDR, JFK, ETC) BUT INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDED JIMMY CARTER (RIGHTFULLY SO) AND BILL CLINTON. IT IS OBAMA WHO OWES BILL CLINTON A PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR CALLING HIM A RACIST AND SAYING THAT BILL'S 8 YEARS AS PRESIDENT WAS BAD FOR THIS COUNTRY. BILL CLINTON IS ONLY 1 OF 3 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS IN THE LAST 100 YEARS TO BE ELECTED TO A SECOND TERM. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE HAD 6 OR 7 SECOND TERM PRESIDENTS. IF OBAMA THINKS BILL'S ADMINISTRATION WAS SO BAD, THEN WHY IS OBAMA HIRING ALL OF BILL'S FORMER ADMINISTRATION PEOPLE AND USING BILL'S IDEAS. OBAMA IS A HACK. I'M VOTING FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE A MCCAIN VOTE IS A VOTE AGAINST BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA.

What is wrong with the so-called news media.... Awful bunch. Can someone suggest where to obtain some news by actual journalists?

We don't need Bill Clinton to do anything except stay clear of the campaign. He's done more than enough to damage his own wife's run for office. Do ya think he'd do a better job for President Obama? I know Bill hates it when I do that. Let Bill go and make some speeches somewhere else, please.

DID OBAMA SEEK HIS ENDOSEMENT? HE BEGGED EVERYBODY ELSE

What amazes me is the fact we want people to endorse, approve and sing happy tunes when we think they should. That is wrong. Bill is entitled to his own decision. We may not agree with it, but we should respect it. I don't want people dictating to me what I should do. Especially, after he was disgraced and made out to be a Rasicts. I am a Black Man with MBA from Chicago, but I would never call Clinton a rscist. I know he has done more for African American over all this year, and it will be stupid to sum all of his years of services to just what this primary was.

LET it GO Bill!!............IT'S SHOW TIME!!!!!!

Excuse me for not crying here. But this sounds like a broken record with first, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the crying Hillary Clinton, Put them all in a sack shake them up, pour them out and you would not know who hit the ground first. Move on please!

oil rules, the Clintons, particularly the senator, have already said that McCain would be a more qualified president than Obama during the race, which will definitely become Republican fodder. I think that they are obviously rolling over to get some things they want out of Obama.

Bill Clinton knows in his heart that Obama is an inexperienced rookie, who the DNC and MSM basically rigged the nomination for.

it is Bill's business and no one else's when and if he decides to "get in the game" with Obama.

Obama's supports think he (Obama) should get a free ride as he has been getting it over the course of the campaign.

I hope Bill doesn't.

A famous politician once said "Politics is a contact sport – if you can't take it, don't play". Let me see, who said that.....hmmm....darn it....who was that...hmmm...OH YEAH, BILL CLINTON HIMSELF.

Stop whining you crybaby, get out there and help your party. The only way people in the electorate like me change their currently very negative opinions of you (face it – the lies and race-tinged remarks came from your mouth, Obama and team certainly didn't make you say those things) is for you to come out like gang-busters and help the Democrats take the White House. Anything short of that and you look like the Bill-Clinton-Crybaby who half-heartedly "helped" Al Gore lose the Presidency.

So now it's all up to Bill and Hillary Clinton if Barack Obama will win the White House.

Bill only has himself to blame for Hillary losing the dem nom. I truly believe he did not want her to have a chance in becoming President. Would take the applause away from him. I still think Hillary is a better choice for President, but I will respectfully vote for Barack. We can't afford to have another Republican in office. Hillary is backing him, and that's good enough for me.

Where's the follow-up on the Vanity Fair article about Bill Clinton and the Hollywood model? No follow-up means cover-up.

And I still find it strangely coincidental that Tim Russert - husband of Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth and, reportedly, no fan of Hillary - died suddenly after Bill and Hill took a spill.

If Bill Clinton went quietly into retirement LIKE HE SHOULD; then he could save face and not have to help Obama with anything. Take Jimmy Carter for example...you don't see or hear about him in the news everyday.

Bill Clinton's wife lost fair and square. Don't be mad at Sen. Obama, heck you weren't even faithful to the woman yourself...you why cry now.

I don't need to know who Bill Clinton or anyone else supports in order to make my decision. I pity those that do.

Ed Rendel...expert (wind) sniffer who will shape shift in a heartbeat.
Take a look at him supporting Farrakhan's visit in Phila on youtube.
Looks and sounds like someone had a coctail or 2 too many !

Why should he get over the media and the party elders unfairly throwing out the best candidate to fix this country and instead giving us this unqualifed individual with a very questionable background. Of all the election years I've witnessed I've never seen such horrific bias against the Clintons. I certaintly will not 'get over it'. Hillary on the other hand must make it appear as though she has 'gotten over it' if she wants to be reelected to the Senate. Perhaps she won't get mad, but she'll get even.

Oh Rendell needs to take a cold shower. Maybe Obama needs to warm the water and show the people that didn't vote for him why they should and that includes the former President. He should support him just because he is a democrat is dumb! He didn't believe him to be the best candidate in the primaries, so now he should just change his view. Its not a matter of "getting over it," its a matter of learning about him and being open.

Obviously Bill knows that the best candidate lost. It's hard to settle for hamburger, when you could have had steak. He'll probably do about as much as he did for Gore in 2000. the real question is will it help or hurt Obama?

I get so tired of how every move Bill Clinton makes is put under a microscope and analyzed with the intent of finding something nefarious in his actions. For all any of us know he is doing exactly what Hillary wants him to do by being low-key at this moment. Let her have time in the sun and in the end he will be doing whatever Obama asks him to do.

What a sore loser.
I'm sick of the Clintons' sense of entitlement.
Go away Bill, you are over. Stick a fork in it because you are DONE!

That is the smartest thing I have heard Ed say this campaign season!!! PUMA needs to GET OVER IT TOO!!!!!!!!!

if bill's administration was so great,why are we in an energy crises.this problem should have been more aggressively tackled,but,instead our government was grid-locked over his partisanship and 'frolicking',and sold-out to the republicans who have just about completed the raping of our nation.time for change,and if bill cant get on the bus,then he can just go away.

I will be voting for Obama, but the Obama camp did turn a lot of what the Clintons said into a racial tone.

Spouses according to his Highness Obama is off limits... remember he said"Lay off ..... ?" Isn't Bill Clinton just a spouse of the Primary nominee for all intents and purposes > Why is it now so important for Bill Clinton to be part of Obama's Democratic party – note I say Obama's Democratic Party.

Gov. Rendall showed his integrity by standing by Hillary but where is
it stated that everyone is obligated to stand behind someone you DO NOT BELIEVE IN ? Can we be true to ourself ? Can we be true to ourself without being negative – that is what Bill is doing... He does not want to sling any bad remarks and needs time. People need to back off – Obama can do well enough on his own, Can't he ? I mean he has Oprah and enough Kool Aid drinking heavy weights.

Bill Clinton already has enough power in this world. Why are we giving him more? I don't care if he publically supports Obama or not. Obama is going to win SO big this Novemeber, Bill Clinton will be long forgotten.

Why do you Obama supporters care if Bill endorses Obama or not?

According to you lot, the only two term Democratic President in the last 50 years is a divisive, angry racist and doesn't deserve your respect.

Why would you want his support?

I agree with the Gov. – however it's the media that's stirring crap up!

Just because Bill hasn't moved at their speed to get behind Obama doesn't mean he won't!!!

The media loves being in the loop and when not they make things up like rumors! Bill is out of the country for now anyway...

When him and Obama come together... watch – it will be big news and will be on TV and it will be in a state that we need to win!

4 letters for you all:

PUMA

You get over Rendall-We won't!

For the sake of his legacy, Bill has to come out fighting. Delivering anything less than a win will be hard to recover from. If Obama wins and he is seen as being a big help, not only will Bill be seen as one of the best Presidents ever but also as the guy who put away personal feelings to benefit country…boosting his legacy beyond what it already was. Good Luck Mr. President

Yeah, Bill should not get involved.
Let Bob the Builder helps Barack instead.
After all he copied Bob's theme song:
Bob the Builder...Can we fix it!....YES WE CAN! VERO POSSUMUS!
Bob the Builder...Can we build it...YES WE CAN! VERO POSUMMUS!
So much for so-called inspiring leader.

For goodness' sake, leave Bill Clinton alone. Granted that he made some really stupid racial comments that hurt his wife dearly; that he became very combative, and sometimes rude to journalists; any man who loves his wife and fights for her interest would have done the same, especially when Bill Clinton, in my opinion, owes a graet deal to this good woman.

It is natural for him to feel bruised at such a loss. But he is no devil. He is a true Democrat, one of the most successful in modern times. Let's not forget that he won two elections in succession, a feat that no Democrat can boast of. He took this country from one Bush who had in it a recession, albeit briefly; he balanced the budget and gave it to another Bush with a surplus - a surplus that has been irresponsibly squandered through a misguided and unnecessary war.

Senator Obama himself has said that he needs Bill Clinton to turn this country aound for the better. Bill Clinton will come around. But give him a break, and let him heal in his own time.

Bill will vote for Mccain like any other sensible American.

I don't care who supports Obama or not; I'm still going to vote for Obama. I'm a die hard Obama fan. Should I say more? I don't think so.

I agree completely! Bill Clinton needs to move on, and help Obama get elected!

Can someone please give a specific example of how Hillary was mistreated by the media?

Those supporters (so called supporters) who say they will vote for McCain are not true Democrats. Some are Republicans trying to turn other Democrats against Obama. The Republicans tried to ruin Bill Clinton and now they are trying to do the same to Obama. They will not succeed and Bill and Obama will work it out. Of course they threw some punches but that is politics and both of them and Hillary too are very strong willed individuals. They will all work it out for the good of the country.

Rendell is a straight shooter. But, he is speaking the party line. He has always toed the democratic party line. However, President Bill Clinton is a great leader because he sometimes bucked the left. He is a man who truely knows where America's heart is. When he feels Obama needs him and if at that time he is convinced Obama cann lead, ok. But if at that time the former leader of the free world does not believe this arrogant and pompous man is not ready then in good concious he should not throw is full wieght behind a man not ready mentally or emotionally to be president. Obama would like to brush off is problems. When you are the President everybody's problem is your problem. A man that would throw is own grandmother under the bus is not mature enough to handle the pressures of the presidency.

Give the man a break, I support Barack and I believe President Clinton will support Barack when he is ready.

What exactly is this list of complaints Bill Clinton intends to discuss, in private, with Obama? Sounds scary. What gives him the right to dictate the Rules of Engagement According to the Clintons and grill our Democratic nominee? This is Obama’s Presidential candidacy. Bill appears to be confused. He is not the President anymore and Hillary is no longer running. They are relevant, but only to the degree to which they need to bring the Party together. To that end, Bill’s public displeasure with Obama is obviously harmful not helpful. It’s that divisive thing again. They can’t stop putting themselves before the greater cause. Maybe Michelle Obama should arrange a private talk with Hillary to discuss how “miffed” she is at her. The bottom line is that it’s destructive, it’s counterproductive, it’s all for show and, as always, it’s all about the Clintons. I wonder. Will a red-faced Bill rely on his signature style of finger pointing and arm twisting to make his case? Will refreshments be served? I would love to be a fly on the wall. Or, would I?

I also agree with you , governor, but you are dealing with a narcissist , and this is how narcissists behave.

oil rules,
It's called politics, Huckabee thought McCain was also unqualified but now is sucking up to him harder to a Vacuum for the VP slot. Bill keeps dragging his reputation on the line by remaining bitter. It was clear that Bill was more critical and condensending to Obama in the primary race, painting him as a candidate for Blacks only. Everyone says what they have to say to win the election. You just pick the candidate that agrees with most of the views. Obama views and Hillary's are the same roughly 95% of the time. That is why democrats that vote for McCain truly have a different agenda or are just misguided. (note I did not say racist, but that could go under a different agenda.)

FactCheck June 26th, 2008 11:36 am ET

Well said! Bills's ego is being deflated and he can't handle it.

On policy questions and the fundamentals of the democratic party, Senators Clinton and Obama (and President Clinton himself) were pretty much in agreement. If Senator Clinton's supporters decide to vote for Senator McCain, then obviously they do not support the values of the democractic party and what's worse, their vote boils down to race, just like President Clinton set it up to be (and let us not forget that it was Senator Clinton who reminded us after West VA that she is in the best position to get the "white" vote)

Hillary runs again in 2012 so long as Obama loses this time, and we should not pretend differently.

I fail to see how Bill Clinton can help Obama. After all of the horrible things he and Hillary said about Obama I would think ANYTHING they say good about Obama will have ZERO credibility.

I am sure the Clintons will shower Obama with support but I would have more respect for them ( I have none these days) If they just pouted at home and stayed silent.

Any reasonably rational person knows it is all just to help themselves in yet another selfish act.

The super-delegates are trying to force-feed their candidate on the Democrats ... and it will not work.

You gotta love Rendell. I do. He keeps with the rules of the game.
Yeah Bill Get over it!

Looks like Hillary is finally taking the high road. I guess her ego is not quite as humungously large as Bill's.

Well, I think this is ridiculous. I'm not over it. If you truly believe one candidate is more qualified than another, how do you change that? Until Bill Clinton can give whole-hearted support, it is better that he not give half-hearted support. All of the ugliness was not on the Clinton side. I thought Obama was rather arrogant and dismissive, and I really don't care for his wife at all. I think I'll sit it out.

PA Hispanic people will vote for McCain. Just like all the Puertorican in PA, and across the East Coast they will not support OBAMA. The Cuban people in FL will support McCain, and also the Mexican peole will support McCain, La Raza will also support McCain along with the Columbian people, the Dominican and all the Hispanic people will support McCain take that to the Bank. Hispanic loves Hillary but not OBAMA. The mojority of the Hispanic will cross to the Rep just because Hillary is not the choice. Even if Hillary is on the Ticket they will still not support OBAMA. Just ask the Puertorican in Puerto Rico Hillary crush OBAMA BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain 08/Hillary 2012

It is time for Bill Clinton to get over it! Does Sen. Obama really want Bill Clinton to campaign for him? The last three people he has campaigned for, has lost (Gore, Kerry, and Sen Clinton)! It may be something to think about.

Hum, sounds like he's trying to line himself up for a VP position. Maybe he should practice what he preaches and just keep his mouth shut!

TADA! There it is! Bill knows Hillary not getting the nod will mean she's gonna throw him out. Bill is part of the reason Hillary's not going to be President; the other part is she tried to win big states, poor white voters, drank too many shots and spent money like a drunk sailor on shore leave. She forgot about the rest of America, but Obamo picked up all the stuff she threw out. But Ed is on the money with that comment. He should have told Bill AND the few remaining Hillary cult members to get over it. Hillary is set up to be appointed to the Supreme Court But she better act right.

Isnt it funny how the first 10 people on here are Obamanuts slamming the Clintons. Does that mean they are just all paid Obama bloggers or what. The news article just made a simple comment, and everyone jumps on board to slam the Clintons.. I if i were in there shoes i would in no way help the inexperienced person running who says he is bringing change.,. The only change that i see in him is that he may be the first president elected that DOESNT have a clue of what he is doin. So i am still voting for someone with experience , experience is always better then having a rookie., Democrat for McCain 08

Just one more reason not to give Hillary any more money.

I don't think anyone has the right to tell President Clinton what he should or should not do. I would not blame him one bit if he didn't campaign for Obama. Obama and his campaign said alot of untrue
statements about Bill Clinton.

If Hillary wants to help Obama that's one thing, but Bill is white over 21
and an American and can do what ever he wants.

Clinton was the best President this country has ever had, and Obama
cannot hold a candle or will never be another BILL CLINTON.

Obama and his team do not deserve Bill Clinton's help–after the way they treated him during the primary. He is a great man and one of the most successful Presidents of modern time.

Are people forgetting that Bill Clinton was called every raceist by the Obama campaign! He went from African Americans calling him the first black president to a raceist!

Rendell is exactly right –
My opinion is that both Clintons are acting childish. This election is NOT, I repeat, NOT about them and they need to stop all the dramatics. Senator Obama is holding his own without the Clintons, and Bill and Hillary shouldn't get any special "perks" for supporting him.

I think Bill Clinton does not have to get in line for all those supporting Obama.
Obama personally and his camp made much to hurt Bill and his inheritance.
Bill ows nothing to this DNC and we who support him and Hillary would be happy if he drop this party and become independent.
He thinks and he is 100% that Obama is not fit to be president.
Bill, plz don't listen to DNC.
We love you and consider the best president in modern history!
NOBAMA!

I think Bill and Hillary should be allowed some time, then come back and unite the party.

It would be awesome if democrats could follow their lead.
Their has been a lot of finger-pointing and blaming about sexism, racism, etc, etc, etc..... The only way to move forward in this country is to CHANGE YOURSELF

And please don't vote because a few people on a blog mad you mad – it is ridiculous to give your power to someone else like that. Be strong in your own beliefs and values.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!

Maybe, just maybe, Bill Clinton understands what it is going to take to fix the economy of this country?

Maybe, because he's done it in the past, and Hillary was there as an adviser and interested observer?

Maybe Bill Clinton can see what might play out in November, too? The race bating and accusations of inexperience, and the fact that Obama hasn't indicated that he would employ the same, or most of the same, cast of characters that Bill used to fix the Reagan/Bush, Sr. economic mess and that Hillary would?

I don't think the Clintons believe in entitlement at this level, but rather a clear plan and mission to fix problems and not get caught up in the flavor of the month syndrome?

The Bush family made it impossible for another Clinton to get elected at this time – period. It's time to "break the cycle" of rotating the White House around two families according to the American people.

I supported Hillary in the primaries; as a good Democrat, I will support and campaign for Obama, which I have already started.

I may not agree with Bill Clinton's reactions to all that has happened, BUT I UNDERSTAND!!!

Perhaps Bill does not want to support a fraud who would damage the Clinton brand even further.

Rendell is absolutely right...........Billy Clinton is just a big spoiled baby!! ....Obama should keep him out of his campaign......and Hillary should have kicked him to the curb years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be nice if all of our Democratic leaders would demonstrate as much courage as Gov. Rendell, and Senator Biden.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

Personally based on how the Clintons run their campaign and all the remarks they made about Obama's qualification as well as the racial overtones, I could careless if they public support Obama or not.

They may have to say we will do whatever it takes to help elect a democrat in office just so as to appear partisan. The truth is they really don't beleive Obama deserved to Win or should have won.

For party's sake yea yea yea, they can come out and appear with Obama and say they are united for one cause but I would never use them on the campaign trail. I don't think they would have anything good to say about him that they truly beleive in. The enthusiasm would not be there and beleive me the RNC will pick on it.

Bill doesnt have to do a thing for Obama and frankly I dont think obama feels he needs bill's help. I think bill is hurt cause he feels obama turned the black community aganist him. I think the clintons got a raw deal with the racisim crap and obama got a free ride to genenralize his granny as a typical white person(whate ever that is).

I am a staunch Obama supporter. But let's remember that President Clinton put 2 years of his life into campaining for his wife. He will come along because like HRC he honestly has the best interest of the country at heart.

Instead of focusing on the negative, let's look at the positive. With Barr as a spoiler, Obama has got a real shot in GA. Let's make the republicans spend their money to hold on to their red states. We are sitting on the cash cow democrats. Spreading out the electoral map is to our advantage so Repubs won't be able to put all their money into key swing states. I can hear the critics already. "We can not buy the election." Grow up people! The truth is the best person doesn't always win the GE (see GW Bush twice). The person with the best political strategy wins the election. Go to barackobama.com and get involved! Especially if you live in a red or swing state!

It's time for Bill to get over it. It's time for Hillary to get over it. It's time for Hillary's supporters to get over it. It's time for disgruntled Michigan primary voters to get over it. It's time for disgruntled Florida primary voters to get over it. It's time for the Clinton's bak account (less the money Hillary decided to laon to her losing campaing) to get over it! They lost. PERIOD. Deal with it!

Bill and HIllary can talk as long as they want to "get over it."
The fact is, the Obama camp treated them like dirt. Hillary is more experienced than Obama. Obama called Bill a racist. It's completely insane that either one of them would support Obama now. I know I won't. It's disgusting how disrespectful people are to this very intelligent former President and former FIrst Lady, by the the supporters of a wanna-be President.

I can speak as a woman who supported Mrs Clinton, I was getting over it. Lately though as Senator Obama, and his campaign seem more, and more dismissive of the Clintons, I think both sides need each other too much, and there needs to be "Getting over it" in both camps.

Unity is important this election you say your a democrate and you vote or do anything other than support our canidate this year i move we throw you out of the party

Why on earth does Rendell think he should speak for Bill Clinton–after Obama's people and the AA's that he has long supported turned their backs on him and called him racist? Also, factcheck should get his facts straight–it was not Bill Clinton that was bitter and divisive–it was the entire Obama contingent and supporters-they played every race card they had which was totally unfair to Clinton..I hope he does not help them–let them sink on their own.

If Bill is acting this immature about this stage of the campaign, think of how he would be if Hillary had made it to the general election, and the rabid-dog wing of the republican party was unleashed upon him, Monica Lewinsky and all.

I'm thinking that maybe Bill should sit this one out, if he can't act like an adult.

I'll just take my ball and go home...wahhhh!!!!

Let's see: the guy who blamed Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing because he had a Republican Congress, blamed the Republican Congress for his own lying under oath, and claimed his 'not guilty' verdict regarding perjury was 'defending the Constitution' is now all of a sudden a selfish little snot with a vindictive streak?

Most of us saw this before Bill Clinton ever got elected. Its too bad that such wizardy of politics and such mid-life crisis acting out are found in the same underused mind.

The Democrats can't get over anything.
They still whine about the 2000 and 2004 elections, for crying out loud!

I'm sure Bill has moved on to better things to do then help BO!

He helped his Wife, but why would he feel the need to help BO, especially after the way he has treated by him and his supporters.

McCain 08

FactCheck has a point! His legacy has been tarnished by HIS OWN DOING! Barack Obama did not force him at gun point to diminism the importance of younger voters or to make the Jesse Jackson or "fairy tale" statements. Bill Clinton is NOT a racist. Bill Clinton has been embraced by the black community (including my own family) as one of our own, that's why he thinks he can say anything. He still cannot just say anything! Bill and Hillary WANT the Dems in control. I strongly believe that they will do whatever it takes to get Sen. Obama elected.

YES – YOU WILL NEED THEM.....

AND TO SOME OF THE POSTERS HERE – NAME CALLING STILL LIKE "BILLYBOB" IS NOT HELPING HILLARY SUPPORTERS "GET IN LINE".

IF YOU DON'T THINK OBAMA NEEDS HILLARY SUPPORTERS, THEN FINE, CONTINUE TO BE IGNORANT, AND CONTINUE WITH THE NAME CALLING, AND CONTINUE WITH HATEFUL REMARKS, AND SEE WHO WINS IN NOVEMBER...

President Clinton said he'll do whatever it takes to get Obama elected. What is it about those words that overyone does not understand?

Why does the media love the Clinton's so.........much? It alway's
has something soooo positve to say about our GREATEST EX-
PRESIDENT!

They both (Hillary and Bill) need to get over it as their new boss is Obama. All you Hillary supporters need to get over it as well and get on board and help the party because Barak is your new boss. I am tired of hearing all the Obama is a sexest stuff. Let's move on and unite.

Obviously it is the young Obama supporters on here because they have all bought into the tailored message by Obama's campaign about Clinton. Those of us that were there no a different man and will only continue to despise you people more as you criticize a person who did soooo many things for the less fortunate of this country. To continue to call him divisive bitter and entitled along with his wife is politics at its worst and does not reflect well on a candidate who continues to underhandedly smear while "taking the high road" it is old school politics and rather hypocritical.

Bill....we love ya, man....and we love Hillary. But, Bill, this will seriously damage your legacy if you let your bruised ego get in the way.

I have always admired Bill Clinton. I am sure that he will ultimately support Barack.

Bill just needs some time and space to reflect on how blessed his life has been. God has been tremendously good to him. He's a popular two-term president. His wife is a beloved senator from New York who has a limitless future. Bill Clinton will be back strong.

Maybe it's true that President Clinton is having a hard time getting over the defeat of his wife. But maybe it's equally true that Clinton really doesn't believe that Obama is qualified to be President.

McCain is right. When has Obama put his party or his country ahead of his own ambitions? I can't think of a time. All I see in Obama is one speech after another. I see no legislation with his name on it. I see no leadership by him on any serious issues of of the day.

Even his pastor and church of twenty years were thrown to the side when they threatened HIS candidacy. Obama knew and became friends with both Pfleger and Rezko and both were thrown under the bus. And of course there is public financing. Thrown aside as well. Anyone or anything that gets in his way is minimized and forgotten.

I am sooooooooooooo sick of Bill and Hillary. They're mad........ they're upset..........they're going to throw themselves on the floor and hold their breath until they get what they want.

God I wish these people would crawl back under their rock – never to be seen again.

Bill can do what ever he likes – There is nothing written that says you must support someone you don't agree with – this do or die for the party is non sense. You vote for the person who you believe will do the best job.

Bill Clinton is very smart, so don't count him out but count on him. Obama is up in the polls over John McCain and Bill knows this could change so look for Bill Clinton when and if this happens. I'm sure the Republicans are very nervous about what a huge difference Bill Clinton will make and they want him out in the open now so they can make their battle plan. Bill Clinton is with democrats so I don't believe him to be in any way angry.

If I were Obama, I wouldn't pay her campaign debts, either. She never ended her campaign, only said she suspended it. If he were to pay off her debts, she could stab him in the back and start fund raising again and try to run as an independent. Leaving her $30 million in debt makes sure she will stay out of the race, where she belongs.

DON'T DO IT! LET HER PAY HER OWN BILLS!

The Obama team repeatedly called Bill C. a racist in response to legitimate criticisms Obama. The Obama team continues this pattern of pre-emptively playing the race card as a reaction to any/all criticisms of their under-qualified candidate. Thus, absent an explicit apology from Obama, neither Bill or Hillary should campaign for Obambi. Let him carry his own water. In fact, since they both know (and have implied) that McCain is far more qualified to be president, they should keep conspicuously silent as an expression of good will to the country and McCain. Let's keep in mind that having Rev. Wright or Farrakhan sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom is not a very appealing thought to the average voter. Keep quiet Bill.

Keep the people of the USA first!

Lets WIN this thing!

EXACTLY..

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE..................

Rendell hit the nail on the head...get over it . If Bill feels like being active in the campaigning thats fine. If not...thats ok too. While the Clintons have a broad support base, this election is based on change an moving forward. Their help would be welcome but I doubt if its a necessity at this point in time.

You people have given the Clinton's such disrespect. Obama can only strive to be half the president Bill Clinton was. The Clinton name may have helped Hillary get recognized, however, she would have been a far superior President then Obama. As per the last 2 and now 3 elections, we have to choose the best of the Worst. One day we will get to choose a candidate who knows what they are doing.

Bill Clinton is the sad punchline to a joke who completely destroyed his reputation and his legacy through his childish and nutty behavior during Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign.

It's just sad seeing how pathetic he has become.

It’s not over for the Clintons. Bill Clinton is just more vocal while Hillary Clinton is simply more calculating; perhaps because she is the one who was defeated. The Democratic Party needs to monitor the Clintons very closely. The Clintons are going execute two important tasks in the coming months. Firstly, the Clintons are going to steal the nomination from Senator Obama. Hard-line Hillary Clinton loyalists are undoubtedly already working tirelessly on their own Willie Horton & Robert Kennedy Strategies; the latter which will surely awaken the rabid approval and support of her remaining voter base. Secondly, they are going to administer payback to all those individuals in the party who they feel abandoned them. They are not to be trusted, ever again.

Now we know who kept Hillary in the primaries even after the whole world knew she'll not get the nomination. Hint-hint (B-I-L-L).

These people need to get over it.
When Bills ready he will show everybody who the ultimate
politition and campainer is and everybody will be happy.

Perhaps Bill knows something they don't.

Hey its a free country last time I checked. If he happens to not want to come out with his support why should we or the media pressure someone to go for the golden boy Obama. OH I forgot this is what the news media and the DNC has been doing since January. Most people fight back if something is being shoved down their throats. I know I will.

While I agree that Bill should just get over it, no one including Rendell needs to push Bill into doing something he isn't ready to do. Once he's ready, Bill will be out in full force but it has to be on his time and his time alone.

The people who hail from Obamaville ought to leave the former president alone. He will come out when he is ready just like anyone else. Forcing Bill to declare his stand is a desperate move to fool Americans that the Democratic Party is united. You guys have already lost this caucusless November election. PERIOD!

Hillary and Bill should tell Barack Obama to go straight to "you know where". There is nothing worth while about him or the DNC to sell their souls to "you know who". Someone needs to stand up to the world's latest false prophet (Barack Obama) and if anyone has a good reason to, it's the Clintons. They should get out of the corrupted DNC while the getting's good.

Maybe Bill is afraid to get too close to MO...just in case she decides to claw his eyes out.

Nope. Bill Clinton knows Obama is an illegitimate candidate (bo willingly accepted votes he did not earn.) I don't think he should endorse bo. He doesn't have to either. Bill can go back to working on his foundation. End of story.

I think it's time for bunch of people to "get over it". Especially on the ticker!

Yes We Will
Obama 08'

I'm not the biggest fan of Ed Rendell. But I respect the position he has. Bill needs to let it go. Especially after all the harm they tried to throw Obama's way. If anything it should be Obama who should be feeling angry.

As in the biblical story, if you look back you will turn into a block of salt.

exactly right.... YOU LOST... GET OVER IT

Bill Clinton was bashed by the obama camp and now they want him to play nice, i dont blame bill one bit, if i were him, i would just let Hillary do her thing

Bill Clinton has not been himself lately. That being said, leave the guy alone.

Barack will work very well with Hillary & Chelsea. I doubt Bill Clinton can come to grips with Barack's candidacy and that's real sad. But maybe some additional rest & time off will do him good.

On Rove calling Obama arrogant....

Obama is CONFIDENT. When it is a white person, they are confident and sure. When it is a black person, they are arrogant and elitist and since slavery days, should never appear to be confident and sure.

Just another race issue.

I agree as well.....We need everybody's "positive" support in order to win Nov. Bill can "rest" when we have a Democratic President.

WELL SAID BILL GET OVER IT AND YOURSELF!!!!! IT DIDN'T WORK FOR BILLARY FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS!!! 1 BEING YOU!!!! YOU WERE HER BAGGAGE!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND THE CLINTON NAME!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!!!!!! FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE!!! MAN UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE A SPOILED CHILD WHO DIDN'T GET HIS WAY!!! THAT'S LIFE!!!!!

No, Bill should not endorse Michelle and Obama. We will not vote for Michelle and Obama, we will vote for McCain this time and hope to see Hillary on 2012

Michelle and Obama will be disaster for the US and the world. Please
Democrat, please vote for McCain or stay home

When all is said and done, Bill Clinton will realize that he is the reason for his wife's failure. It's easier to blame others, than it is himself. He was the first to introduce race on the campaign trail, and he should have known better. The subject of race can be your best friend, when used properly in an inclusive way, and your worse enemy when used divisively. He chose to use race as he would have in the 90's and, a funny thing happened on the way to the 2008 elections–the country had turned a corner. That was a good thing for Barack, and unfortunately not so good for the Clintons.

Hillary has four years to get her act together, and come back, not pandering to minorities, or plotting against them, but seeing the truth for what it is–a different America has emerged.

Until is elected president, I won't get over it. Hillary's out, on with McCain '08*.

*Unless Obama takes Hillary as his VP.

Jeez, Slick Willy is a sore loser AS WELL as a scumbag? No wonder everyone loves him! ENOUGH WITH THE CLINTONS ALREADY! It's a new day in America and the people want nothing to do with the members of an administration from well over a decade ago that was soft on terror, weakened our military, and took credit for an economic boom that occurred independently of the White House. Bill Clinton is a fraud, Hillary is a power-hungry, self-interested political operator, and the United States of America deserves leaders of a much higher caliber.

Good point Gov.

I agree with the Governor, President Clinton needs to help elect a democrat, because as a physical convservative and social liberal on som issues, McCain is a joke. I want a different type of politics that Unites America under on flag and not two parties.

God Bless America

Give him some time. We'll see how long it takes for CNN/MSNBC and their team of Matthews/Brazile/Cafferty/ Olbamaman (Olberman) to get over Obama's crushing defeat in November.

Just because Barack is a smooth talking car salesman. Doesn't mean he's the best qualified person to become our next President.

I agree, give over it and move on, more like move out, get out!

I like and respect Mr. Rendell but I think he's wrong here. I don't think you can tell someone when or how to "get over" anything, particularly when Mr. Obama and his campaign personally attacked Mr. Clinton and his presidency. Even if he got over the hard feelings created without apology by Mr. Obama, he's still faced with having to back an inadequate candidate. I think Mr. Clinton is doing exactly the right thing.

I'm sick and tired of these people stating that the Clinton's thought they were "entitled to the presidency." They have worked hard to improve the lives of people whose voice and opinions are ignored. So they are not entitled to the presidency but they have earned it. Unlike Obama, who is a new comer, he is the one that acts like he is entitled to the presidency by playing the race card and making the voter feel guilty if you don't cast they vote for him. We're looking for the person who has experience not charisma.

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SORE LOSERS.... THERE ARE BIGGER ISSUES TO WORRY ABOUT... I AGREE WITH GOV. RENDELL...

OBAMA 08......

Give Bill Clinton a break here. Nobody, maybe not even Hillary, knows what's going on in his head right now. Bill, hit the golf course, sip some fruity drink and relax. Get your head on straight and we'll see ya when your ready. Take YOUR TIME!!

YOU ARE RIGHT OBAMA SUPPORTER. GIVE BILL SOME TIME HE'LL COME AROUND.

The press demonized Bill all the way. Now you want his support? Take a hike.

I can see why Hillary has to play nice, but Bill does not have to kiss up to Obama just because he is a past President.

The DNC did everything they could to knock down the Clintons and put Obama as the nominee, so now that has taken place and everyone should be happy.

But the Clintons will come back and I hope that in 2012 Hillary can run on the campaign platform of I TOLD YOU SO and get rid of Howard Dean and all those turn coat super delegates.

Right on, Mr. Governor. This one's for you.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

Ain't nuthin' a "fried peanut butter n' nanner" sandwich won't fix. Get back on the horse Willy and do your best to save your legacy.

Bill and Obama are supposed to be having a secret meeting. I bet Bill wants Obama to help the thm pay off their debt before he endorses him and also Bill wants Hillary to be VP. Too bad Bill will go down in history with a negative reputation. Because he is an ex President he should be more mature about his wife's lose and politically nobody owes them anything..

too many people put too much stake in political parties. the fact is that we , the voters, will choose our next president based on what we feel this person can do for the well being and safety of this country. we shouldnt vote just because soneone is a repub or a dem or a green party member etc. we should be voting for the person who believes that he/she can do what is best for the country. he/she should pay attention to the majority of the people in this country and the hell with how other countries view us. if bill, and hillary even, dont really want to support obama then the party needs to leave them alone and let them decide for themselves who isthe better candidate. they should not be made to stand by obama just because he is a dem candidate. if they truly beleive that obama is what os best then all the power to them otherwise they, and every other american, needs to vote for the PERSON and not the party. ask what your party has done for you lately then ask what your candidate of choice can do for you. big difference huh?

It's called malice jealousy. Racism runs deep in good ole boys.., even Bill.

Governor Rendell is on the mark. In the words of Jimmie Buffett, WJC needs to "breathe in, breathe out and move on."

Another example of leadership!

This may be why he advanced from Mayor of Philly to Governor of PA.

Is VP next????????????

Rendell is right. Bill, join all of us OBAMA supporters and help put a democrat in the White House.

Ed Rendell is the best. He tells it like it is. Bill Clinton, get over it!!
We have to kick the GOP out of our house. America can not afford 4 more years of GOP rule. John McCain is George Bush's twin. All American ought to rally towards keeping McFlipflop-Bush from winning This election. We own it to you children.

Bill should not support Obama and Democratic Elite. They should face punishment for the way they treated the democratic race and the people voting for Hillary.

I agree with Gov. Rendell. It's time that Bill to get over it and not just say he will do all to help elect Obama, but to come out and endorse Obama. We must remember that the Clintons were not the only ones injured in this battle, so was Obama. Why else would he have to try to woo Clinton's supporters. Best way for him to re-ignite his legacy is to get onboard.

Bill don't give in, get even. Make the Democratic Party pay for how they treated you and your wife. They are a bunch of quacks (did you see that panel that decided Michigan and Florida, the lady who does the roster at the conventions was on the panel!)

Didn't everyone listen to Bill Clinton's final speech at a Hillary rally?

He said " This is the last campaign I will be involved with."

After how his wife was treated by the media and Obama supporters, why the hell should he help? People can only take so much before they say screw it. It appears Bill has reached that point and does not care whether Barack wins.

Boy CNN, you just have to stir up crap with regard to the Clintons, don't you? Must be for ratings, huh?

Leave them alone. You criticize them while they are in the spotlight and criticize them when they're not. Let Bill have a much needed and well deserved vacation and go pick on someone else.

Bill should not support Obama and Democratic Elite. They should face punishment for the waythey treated the democratic race and the people voting for Hillary.

I would be mad too that Barack Obama played the race card on both the Clintons and made it personal. He is trying it now against McCain. Burnt once, shame on you – burnt twice, shame on me! Wake up America!

I am with Bill Clinton – my words of course – 'you think you can slam me as a racist during the primaries and NOW you want my help? if I was so racist then, as you painted me – why would you want me to help you now????' NOT!

Yes, Bill. GET OVER IT. Help Obama become the next President of the United States.

YES WE WILL!!!
Obama '08!!!

Hmmmm??!!? Wasn't it Bill Clinton who described politics as a "contact sport"? Did he not call Obama a whiner? Who's belly aching now? Give me a break!

I agree with Ed Rendell, he needs to get over it... Honestly, Obama doesn't need him anyway. Let him mope....

Bill will come around, cut him some slack. He had a heart attack a few years ago. campaigned vigourously for Hillary and they will end up back on the trial with Barak this summer. not to worry.

Rendell needs to get over it! I am a Hillary supoorter turned Independent on June 3rd and am APPALLED at CNN and other news stations regarding the Disservice given to Hillary Clinton and everyone thinking that OBAMA is a ROCK STAR!!!!

He Is continually playing the race card and all the news station are playing into his hands. If you really investigated his policies you wouldn't be thinking he is a god. I am a Christian also and he will never get my vote nor many others.

You need to get some new blood on your program that aren't one sided and Afro-American.

Bill needs to get over the fact that he wont get another chance to party for another 4 or 8 years in the White House.

Can anyone blame Bill Clinton for being silent after the way Obama down played Bill Clinton's successes and bragged on Reagon and the Replublicans.

Bubba wanted to be "First Man" so bad he could taste it.

My God, I can't wait to not have to hear the words "Clinton" and "Bush".

Please, please, go away Clintons! You have torn the party apart and created so much debt for yourselves. You have the audacity to ask the struggling American people to pay for your debt. Unbelievable.

To me, it's like asking your wife to hang out with Monica Lewinsky after everything she's been through! Why does Barack owe you anything?

Obama/AnyoneOtherThanClinton '08

I think everyone should leave the Clintons alone. The media abused them during the primaries, now they want them to be nice and support their (the media's) chosen presumptive nominee. To me, the media raped the Clintons. The whole thing was sick.

Bills mentality has been that of road rage. Have you ever turned out onto a roadway where there speedlimit is 35 miles an hour and some car way down the road but speeding and they get enraged that you have pulled in front of them. you may have done everything legally and been quite a distance in front of them but just the IDEA that you pulled in front of them has enraged them, so they follow you down the road honking and waving their fists and then speed by you as closely as possible to let you know who is the boss....well that is how Bill and a handful of her supporters have acted. Barack stopped at the stop sign, looked both ways, signaled and pulled out into traffic with a safe distance. But Bill doesnt like anyone to pull in front. As this plays out in history, this sour grapes will look sad and stupid because Barack didnt do anything wrong....other than pull ahead. Bill has road rage.

BILL CLINTON WAS TREATED LIKE "DIRT" BY OBAMA. WHEN OBAMA LISTED THE BEST DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS, HE LEFT BILL OUT. OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT A PHONY WHO WAS RAISED IN THAT RACIST CHURCH. HE USED THAT CHURCH TO GET WHERE HE IS AND THEN, FINALLY AFTER MANY ARM TWISTINGS BY HIS CAMPAIGN PEOPLE, HE DENOUNCED WHAT WAS SAID BUT NOT THE PERSON WHO SAID IT. IF HE HAD "FELT" DIFFERENTLY, HE WOULD HAVE LEFT THE CHURCH LONG AGO.
BILL HAD 8 GOOD YEARS – LET'S SEE WHAT OBAMA HAS – HE WILL ACHIEVE THIS WITHOUT MY VOTE!!!
I SWITCHED MY PARTY – I AM NOW A "PROUD" INDEPENDENT.

Whatever. He'll come around.

I adore Gov. Rendell. Did you notice in his interview, he said he did not want VP position. Why would he want to be on a losing team. Bill Clinton was the only 2 term Democrat President in over 40 years. I heard someone say on CNN in 80 years. He is loyal to the party. I hope he does not campaign for the arrogant Obama.

Don't count on it. Obama needs Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton doesn't need Obama.

I wish Obama quit saying that he need the Clintons. He does not need them.

Ed Rendell is looking surprisingly more and more like a VP prospect.

Mind your own business, Governor. Nobody has to get over anything. I know I will NEVER get over how Barack STOLE the primary election from Hillary with a LOT of help from undemocratic caucuses, Dean, Pelosi, and the rest of the Democratic traitors, disenfranchisement of two states' voters, and the biased media, and a lot of us Hillary supporters feel the same way. I don't care if Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea all get on the Barackwagon. Obama will NEVER get my vote.

PUMA

what is the use of this commentary. Even Obama said Bill Clinton did not want to over shadow the up coming event he has with the Wife....
That the time will come and he wants Bill Clinton on this team.....

I don't know, if I were Bill, after serving the the White House, then going out and raising money for Tsunami victims, then going on the campaign trail for his wife in New York, then again, after also earning most of the money through public speaking... I'd be freakin exhausted and ready for a break.

Cut the guy some slack, and if he wants to stay home, let him stay home. He's done enough for this country to deserve some time off.

Bill Clinton should be honest about his feelings and act accordingly. So should Hillary. Both Bill and Hillary made it clear during the campaign that neither one of them thought that Obama was experienced enough or competant enough to be President. I'm sure that opinion hasn't changed so they shouldn't say it has. No one respects a hypocrite. Neither one of them should be endorsing Obama – they should simply say they've made their views known and walk away from any involvement in the Presidential election. This would be the ethical thing to do. It could also end up being the smart thing to do because if Obama gets elected and does badly (which given his lack of experience and talent for picking poor mentors is possible) the Clintons will not be tainted by an Obama endorsement and will get to say "I told you so".

I am an Obama supporter and voted for Bill both times he was president. We definitely need his knowledge and charisma when dealing with the Gas and Oil Party led by Karl Rove.

If Obama help pays down Hillary's debt he needs to jump on board and use his win at all cost, Slick Willie mentality to help defeat the rightwingers.

Bill Clinton has always been a spoiled, whiny mama's boy, who
throws a hissy fit when he doesn't get his own way.

He can't stand the fact that he's no longer the Alpha Dog of the
Democratic Party, and his star is on the wane. He will never
accept the fact his time in the spotlight is finally over.

History will show that he was a minor, caretaker president,
between the end of the Cold War and the War on Terrorism.
He did not accomplish one single thing of note, and his only
quote in future editions of Bartlett's will be "I did not have sex
with that woman."

Some legacy...

Good riddance!

The Obama campaign ran on a ridiculous platform, that somehow the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies were somehow one and the same. During Clinton's administration we had a balanced budget a strong economy and were largely respected by our historical allies, but under GW Bush we have nearly the polar opposite. When he tried to call them out on this everyone jumped down his throat and tried to paint him as a racist. I suppose I'd bear resentment, too.

Why does Bill have to say anything about Obama? Why does anyone want him to campaign actively for Obama? If he does, everyone wants him to be quiet. If he doesn't, everyone wants him to say something and get over it. What is the man to do? This is just the latest proof that the media, and politicians are treating the Clinton's unfairly.

The Clintons seem to truly believe that they're some type of royalty and we're all their subjects...perhaps they'd feel more at home in the UK.

Why is Rendell making comments like this when he admittedly does not know if Bill Clinton is upset? Some kind of friend! ENOUGH WITH THE CLINTON BASHING !

Once again, the party dictates what all must do. Sorry DNC and sorry Governor Rendell, but if Bill Clinton chooses to sit back and not get "with the program" it is his perogative. Perhaps Bill, along with several million others of us who supported Hillary, don't really think Obama is right for the job.

How can Hillary convince her 18 millions of supporters to support Obama when her husband won't listen to her?

hahahaha...I knew Bill was angry and upset.

I agree.
Bubba, the party needs you. Many of us were loyal to you during the impeachment. We sent money; we defended you til the cows came home.
Obama has won now. We need you to step up, and fulfill the roll a former Democratic president should fulfill. Your legacy will not be ruined if you can do this.

Hey, it gives the media something to talk about. I'm sure as a good democrat Bill Clinton will get on the band wagon to support Obama.
However, some of us Clinton supporters are compelled to support Obama. Obama has never really answered why he was a member of a black liberation church for 20 years and how it was that he never heard Rev. Wright's sermons of hate and racism. I have no problem with his race or religion, however, I do have a problem with someone whose core values appear to be very different from mine . . .to say nothing of his inexperience and lack of judgment and honesty!

Bill Clinton has a reason to be upset over the media's treatment of his wife! Obama is a media made man.

president clinton don't ever have to get over it if he chooses not to
Obama was ugly to both of them I do not think he has to support him
i will never vote for obama and I have voted every year.

After Obama's derogatory and hate filled name calling campaign against the Clintons, I think they are entitled to get over it whenever they please.

As a former President, Clinton deserves the respect to let him do what he wants to do in regard to anyone else's campaigns. If he wants to go out on the campaign trail, he can do so. If he wants to play the role of elder statesman and sit in the background doling out advice behind closed doors, he's free to do that as well.

I'm a supporter of Obama, but calling people out for not supporting your candidate enough is silly. If Clinton decides to campaign, they should thank him for his support and take what they can get. If he decides to stay at home and watch Sportscenter all day, they should respect that as well and stop trying to drum up false controversy. There's no question Bill supports the Democratic ticket, and trying to suggest otherwise is absurd.

Just who needs Bill around?
His power may be strong with the Democratic Party faithful–but the vast majority of us despise his abuse of power to seduce and dispose of women at his whim–and then not being held accountable for it.

He's a scum...who happened to have been made President.
He remains a scum.

It is time for the Clinton political machine to realize this is not the United States of Clinton and it is the United States of America. For Mr.Clinton to be upset about criticism of his campaign, there is a very short memory there. How about all his criticisms of previous democrats and how they managed in the White House, Congress and the Senate. The Clintons need to realize this country belongs to the people and not to them. Unfortunately, due to that type of politics, is the reason why this country is heading down the wrong path. What the Clintons need to realize is that decisions made on his watch have definitely have an adverse impact on the country and its citizens today. The Clintons need to move on with their lives as citizens of the United States and not owners of the United States.

Bill can only be upset with himself and his imbracing of the GLOBALIST AGENDA that came back to bite him.The outsourcing of jobs,Nafta and underhanded deals with China and India are what lost her the election,not Obama.

DNC should've think about it before allow Mr.PRIMADONA< ARROGANT OBAMA had insulted The BEST PRESIDENT of now days: CLINTON!
He is not an yo-yo!!!!

NO ; IS IT NOT TIME!!!

Neither one of the Clintons owe Obama anything. It's that simple. The DNC didn't want or need them before so they shouldn't be worrying where they are and what they are doing now.

I am still a Hillary supporter. No matter what she or her husband say, I WILL NOT vote for someone who is not competent to run our country!

Just how would all you "holier than thou's" react when you have been constantly criticized, crucified, etc., by obama and his mean-spirited supporters?

Sometimes it takes a little while to turn the other cheek.

It's play me or trade me time for bill, It's get in the game or ride the bench which is it Bill we need you baby !! come on this is the big dance ! and you got to be on the starting five so lets suck it up and play!!!!!!!! (YES OBAMA CAN ) !!!!!!!

I fear Bill is still much more concerned about enhancing his diminishing legacy and position in the Party, and once again having a direct line to the Presidency than he is about what is best for the Democratic Party.

I believe that Bill still feels he should be "King" of the party and deeply resents seeing someone else take that spot. He clearly felt he was running for re-election through his wife....and loved all of the attention he was getting.

Sad......

I agree with the Governor! Stop crying Bill you lost. And stop making demands about wanting to "air your grievences." Obama didn't play the race card on you , YOU brought it up first. YOU ruined your legacy within the black community. Your actions now are showing your true colors.

Oh Hillary! If only you had used your message of the last month of the primaries instead of that mess you started off with. I (Republican Vet) would have actually voted for you and I would certainly have wanted you as VP.

But to make it all better, here's all you have to do. DIVORCE BILL! No woman, should have to live with the public humiliation that your husband caused you in the White House. Nor should she have to deal with the fact that your "husband" may have single handedly caused you to lose the primary. Divorce him and not only will I support you as VP, but I will agressively support and campaign for you in 2016 (That is unless Colin Powell runs, I am still a republican).

Well Said!
Bill needs to look at how he is going to go down in history.

I hope he does not endorse Obama. After running against him, how can you endorse Barack?. The hypocrisy in politics

Just because I haven't been able to say this in a ticker update before comments are disabled:

What is it with you Hillary supporters that are refusing to get behind Obama unless he puts her on the ticket? Aren't we all Democrats? Aren't we all sick of eight years of idiotic policies by the GOP that have done nothing but ruin our country?

Don't get me wrong, I'd be glad if they were on the same ticket, and I would have been happy with Hillary as the candidate (for the most part). The fact remains that those Democrats who refuse to support Obama without Clinton, or would vote for McCain over a democrat are either:
1) Appear racist.
2) To modify a used idea, DINOs (Democrats in name only).

It's Hillary's support that matters at this point. If Bill managed as may gaffes as he did supporting his wife I can only imagine what gems would come out of his mouth supporting Obama.

My feelings are that if Bill doesn't honestly & truly support BO and can't get past his present feelings, he will probably be more of a detriment to Obama than a help. Half-hearted support will probably be very apparent both in his speach and expressions.

The Clintons will give "lip-service" support to Obama – but they are counting on McCain winning in '08 – so Hillary can win in 2012!

As a two term president, he can do whatever the hell he wants in my opinion. Since when is he obligated to publicly endorse Obama? He already endorsed him through a statement. Does he need to walk around with an Obama button now?

Rendell is ridiculous.

Bill and Hillary should be upfront and forthecoming about their support for the Democrats. What's up with them? Exhausted or not they should be doing more than they are now.

Democrats 2008 (Former Republican)

Agreed, Bill is a democrat and should get ON BOARD

You know I'm an Obama supporter, and maybe it's me..isn't the media just a little rushy with the 'move on' thought...I mean this was a big loss for the Clintons...not only in political status ,but personal ego...this is very humbling..and puts both of them back into focus per say their roots of polotics..it's really, in a sense may even be a spiritual journey...so give them so space to move forward...I don't read this as hostility from fromer President Clinton or Sen. Clinton moving slow.....but a moment to regroup and bring clairty for them as individuals. Just a thought

Enough of the royal treatment for Bill Clinton. Either he fully supports Obama or he retires from politics.

I'm a Barack supporter and I'm still a little miffed. I know I have to get over it, but I can understand Bill's feelings. I don't want to see him any more than he wants to be seen. The difference is, I don't need twenty-two million dollars, he does. So if I were him, I'd suck it up, and get out there for Barack, which is really for his wife's debt.

Politics is a b..........., huh Bill?

It has not been that long since Hillary endorsed Obama. I have respect for Bill Cinton. He will endorse soon. The election is in November, not July. The Clinton years were great for America, despite some antics, as we all have heard. Obama was critical of the Clinton years, but now is speaking highly of it. Give Bill Clinton time.It isnot like Hillary lost a high school presidential election.

Enlightened Voter:

Arrogance is something that could describe Obama as well. He by no means won by a landslide.

i agree 100% with Enlightened Voter. I was upset with Rendell's almost sickening support of Hillary. Backing her is one thing but he was over the top. I lost a lot of respect for him but this makes up for it. I'm sure there will be those who say he's only looking for something from Obama...maybe so but still I've regained some respect for him. Wish other Hillary supporters could be as understanding. They seem to still be blaming everyone and everything for her loss and feel she had no part of it. I think the message they're sending out especially to young women is that if you lose, you have to whine and find someone to blame. i think that's unfortunate.

Easy job in the world giving free advice to others
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

I agree with you Obama Supporter. Bill Clinton has been on the Democratic campaign trail, positively and negatively, trying to get Hillary elected. Bill Clinton definitely needs some down time, as well as Hillary to some degree.

Of course Bill Clinton is upset, Bill Clinton saw himself as the current leader in the Democratic Party. 'Forget Howard Dean! Forget Harry Reid! Forget Nancy Peloski!' that was Bill's thinking. Bill understands that everything politically that Hillary has achieved was due to him and his presidency.

In Bill's mind, Hillary is the nominee and he is the president. As great as a politician as Bill Clinton is, if the same type of 24/7 media coverage and video/audio footage was available in 1992, Bill Clinton would not have won.

Oh, so now they're going to try to FORCE Pres. Clinton to support a nominee he doesn't want to. That may happen, but you will never force me or millions of other HRC supporters to vote for Obama, and all of this further pressure on the Clintons only steels my resolve to sit this election out. The voters let the election farce continue last time and look at the catastrophe that has ensued. Well, I won't participate this time!

That is kind of hard when Obama put down Bill Clinton's administration consistently. This is the first time I have ever seen a party and a candidate put down a president from their own party. Kind of sad.

I don't see why Bill Clinton has to do anything if he doesn't want to. It seems extremely arrogant for Democrats to insist on him sucking it up and supporting someone he obviously (and perhaps rightfully) despises.

Okay all you Obama fans-Obama is not entitled to Bill Clinton's support. Both Clintons have a right to speak when and if they so choose. Remember all those pastors you believe have the freedom of speech-that means they also have the freedom not to speak. You need to get over it. What is worse than a sore loser? Millions of sore winners.

I hope Bill Clinton never supports Obama, Obama was selected by the DNC not elected.

To: Enlightened.

He should have supported Hillary, just like all of the other super delegates (if he is one). They should have had to vote as their states did.

He can take all the time he needs to "get over it" privately, but as far as the public image and what has to be done, there's no time to waste pouting.

Bill isn't the only one who's upset by the way Hillary was treated. But, we do have to move on.

Bill isn't used to losing.

Media is to blame for this sort of push. Media had picked Obama long time ago, and they do not now want to fail at any cost or be wrong. So they go out and putting pressure on Bill Clinton to fall in line. As far as I am concerned, he does not have to. He can do what he pleases. Hillary has come out in full swing for support for obama, that's important.

By the way, CNN – Wolf, Jack, Gloria – they have been campaigning for obama for a very long time, and thrashing clintons in the process at every opportunity they get. Then there is this Martin – so called the part of best political team. I mean it's obvious his heart and mind is behind Obama, and he shouts his mouth all the time to sound reasonable. Stop the slimy talk.

Obama will need to win this thing on his own, and he can do it if he works smart and is careful.

Love the clintons though. Will always support them.

Make him pay WJC, as you said months ago: "The Obama campaign is a media perpetuated farse."

Bill Clinton just needs to go away. A victim of his own ego, he hurt Hillary's campaign with his sense of entitlement and divisive comments. Many times I could not even believe this was the same man I voted for. Ride off into the sunset Bill, I don't want you campaigning For Obama and hurting his chances! Go away, please, just go away.

A little public support Bill please.

If he is not sure how Bill feels, why make the comment at all?
This is a useless piece of news about a useless statement.

Bill's actions speak louder than words. Stay away Bill, no one is going to believe anything you say now anyways.

Yes Bill, move on away from Obama.. He is bad news. You know he will just use you and Hillary for his political ambition. Do not feed snakes, it will just bite you. Remember, they have accused you of this rediculous race game, after what you have done for them. Enough is said, and now we are voting for Mccain if not Hillary.

Bill Clinton wants Obama to be President. Period.

In June of 2004, Bill Clinton wasn't actively campaigning or speaking on behalf of John Kerry.

So who cares if he's doing the same this time?

I know it is hard for Bill and Hillary Clinton both. I don't blame them if they don't want to campaign for Obama or even endorse him. I know as a fellow human being that this is very hard for them. This is a free country, and that is their decision. Let's just leave them alone.

Ya think? Maybe Rendell had something to do with the aftermath of the primaries, since he and Bill introduced race. I don't want to hear anything this man has to say.

Shame on you Rendell, go crawl back under your rock. Or go crawl back in your sleezebag closet, right next to Hillary's pantsuits.

Bill and Hillary are spoiled brats, and it's hard to let go of the baton once you've been the "Darlings of the Dems". That's what he gets for going racial in S.C. Get over it, you big baby. Especially since you need money from Barack's supporters. How the mighty have fallen.

Now if only Gov. Rendell and the Clintons would get her ardent 'Hillary or a Republican' supporters the same message, we Dems would have an unstoppable campaign.

If Bill caught so much blame for Hillary's not being able to secure the Democratic bid then why in the world would anyone want him as part of their entourage? Is this just the media trying to get Bill Clinton to commit to saying things about Obama the way he did about Hillary?

Bill Clinton is nothing if not politically savvy and while he may have lost it a couple of times in the heat of campaigning for his wife, he knows what side of the Democratic butter his bread gets covered in...

I'm not a huge fan – but I can understand making mistakes while defending your family if that is your mindset...

Give the guy time to let the attention die down so there can be a welcoming and honorable return to the fold.

Running for President is arduous and long. Being under the microscope for so long takes some time to relax after that. And, I do think there are some issues with the Democratic primaries and how it was won.

People are entitled to their opinions, emotions and what have you. Who says Bil Clinton, and Hillary for that matter, need to rush into supporting Mr. Obama? Plus, if he's so great, he can campaign on his own. He and his wife didn't portray nice pictures of the Clintons during the primaries. It's only changed now for a guise of unity.

Again, Obama the Powerful should be able to buy the election in November so what does it matter anyway?

All the Dems need to get over themselves. If Bill doesn't want to back NObama, I can't much blame him. I wouldn't either. So, stop cramming the arrogant, elitist down everyone's throat!

I believe Bill's silence is more to do with Hillary's wish that he keep quiet at this time, so as not mess up Obama's chances of winning in November, like Bill messed up her chances of winning the nomination with his big mouth!

Hopefully all three of these political hacks will be doing some serious jail time after the Peter F Paul fraud trial. It's only the largest campaign fraud in American history. So why are CNN and the rest of the news media ignoring any mention of it?

Bill Clinton is and has been for a long time an emotional infant.

Don't u Obamanuts get it yet?? Hill & Bill are gonna stay quiet thru November to ensure defeat for Hussein in '08, and clear the path for Hill in '12.

NO-Bama EVER.

I keep hearing that Bill Clinton is upset with Barack Obama. That's the part that I don't get. I understand being upset or disappointed about losing but what did Obama do to offend him beside win?

Obama painted Bill Clinton a "racist" which is a total distortion and patently ridiculous. Mr. Clinton is under no obligation to endorse or campaign for Obama, and in his place I would not.

whaaa! whaaa! whaaa!

seriously, let's move on and get OBAMA nominated!!!

"Rendell says it may be time for Clinton to get over it"

YA THINK????
Not sure it is within their capabilities to be humble, conciliatory, or cooperative without getting something in return.

It is time for Bill Clinton to act like and adult, like a former president, and to grow up–something we have not seen out of him in the last 17 months. His wife lost–GET OVER IT–time to move on–the rest of the country is. But I guess he thinks he is special–remember this is the man who craves attention and gives narcissism a whole new meaning.

Bill's legacy and Hillary's future hopes are on the line. There can be no division between Obama, Bill and Hillary if they collectively expect to win in November. The voters have spoken and Bill should come out of hiding and do the right thing.

Governor Rendell,
With all due respect to you and President Clinton, he can get over the fact that the failed leaders of the undemocratic Democratic Party stepped on, spat at, and tossed out our core democratic principles with the trash if he likes.
Millions of us, the true Democrats, will not be getting over what they did to our party. Every last one of these failed leaders has to go and, once we've made sure in November that Obama does not tighten his grip over our party and loses all that he never should have had, we'll be going after every last one of them.
Their days of calling themselves leaders of our party are infinitely fewer than they know.
Believe that.
Count on it.

Bill Clinton staying silent adds more speculation about the entitlement the Clintons feel to the White House.

ITS THAT SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT THAT KEEPS GETTING IN THE WAY. SHE WAS THE FRONT RUNNER AT THE BEGINNING BASED ON WHAT? ENTITLEMENT. SHE COULD HAVE SAVED HERSELF $20M IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE STRATEGIC INSTEAD OF EXPECTANT.

Of course he needs to get over it and if you read the whole statement the headline is very misleading. It makes it sound like he is saying it in a negative way.

If you read what he said its not like that at all. More quotes taken out of context by CNN. Whats new

Time to get over it and support McCain, like the rest of America is doing!

well bill i have to say rendell is right bill and hill thought they had this one in the bag you know with being the CLINTONS and all i live in pa i really dont like rendell but i have to agree and looks like pa will be going blue this year lots of obama supporters obamas gonna win my state by a land slide and i couldnt be more happier!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!....He is not a tipical "white"....

As a non-partisan voter I can objectively say that Bill Clinton has been a strange figure since about December 2007. I have defended him at many turns over the years but he seems to have grown frustrated over the fact that everyhting is not all about him. He's such an interesting guy; brilliant politician and communicator but some really sad insecurities.

Yep.

teeheehee. bwHahaa . I like Rendell. He tell it like it is. He cowers to noone even though he supported Clinton in the primary.
You rock Rendelll!!

Yes, Mr. President.

Build a bridge and get over it!

Not just the Clintons but their supporters as well. If you want Hillary to have another shot at the presidency, complaining about Obama and voting for McCain is not the way to do it.

Go Eddie!

Bill Clinton has every right to withhold his support for Obama, or anyone else. Frankly, after the way Obama's campaign behaved toward Senator Clinton, I have real trouble supporting him, myself. Hang in there, Bill.

THIS ELECTION IS CRITICAL. BILL CLINTON NEEDS TO CHECK HIS EGO AND MOVE ON!!!

HE CAN SHOW WHAT HE IS REALLY LIKE BY HIS ACTIONS.

Enlightened voter is such a kool aid drinker that Obama could spit in your face and you would think he was just cleaning it for you.

I think the media loves controversy!!!

its understandable that he might not be feeling quite chippy at this moment, give him time

I also love how pundits go on tv and say "Bill is angry and mad as hell"

DID HE PERSONALLY TELL YOU? HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW HIS STATE OF MIND....

people should sto ascribing feeling to people without knowing

LET THE MAN COME AROUND TO SUPPORTING OBAMA ON HIS OWN, THAT WAY IT IS REAL, AND GENUINE!

DEMOCARTS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you Governor.

If Obama's enemies are going to be Bill Clinton, Pres. Bush, and Carl Rove I say he wins by a landslide.

I don't think Ed Rendell is over it!!!!!! He will never get re-elected as PA governor, it's Bob Casey's chance now!!!!!!

Pres. Clinton, truly " get over it". I loved when you were President, your wife loss and now it's time for party unity. Sucking sour grapes will only further erode your legacy.

What do you expect, Hillary and Bill said Obama was not qualified to be President. If they start singing his praises now then they were either lying then or they are lying now. You may say BHO is better than McCain, but no matter how you slice it, they will be supporting someone they think is unqualified. Is that loyalty to country or party?

Let's be straight about this: Bill is not upset over HRC losing to Obama. he's upset at the way he's been cast as a divisive, bitter and vengeful politician. It's too bad that he feels this way but the fact of the matter is that he IS a divisive, bitter and vengeful politician.

I like Bill and Obama, Im sure they will work it out.

Nuff said

Ed renda\ell
is right Bill Clinton has to get over it the first talk of negivated talk started with the Hilliary campgpain.

You tell them Rendell....not only Billybob, but the rest of the her supporters who are planning to vote for McBush....that's like voting for Bush all over which would be a slap in Sen. Clinton's face, because that would mean that you really didn't support or believe in her message! Wake up people!

Ok, I support Obama, but Bill Clinton is a former president that has campaigned exhaustively for months. Cut the guy some slack and give him some time – it is Bill's business and no one else's when and if he decides to "get in the game" with Obama.

bill clinton has damaged his legacy beyond reclamation. he's shown himself to be a bully and a crybaby. good riddance.

Rendell is my governor and I don't particularly like him especially after his support of Hillary during the primaries but he's right on the money with this one. Bill Clinton as well as his wife thought they were entitled to this and that her winning would be a shoo in. They didn't get their way and he is showing his true arrogant colors.
