I used to have respect for Bill Clinton, how sad.....

I'll try again, He did NOT ask HER. 18 million votes and he did not ask her to run with him. Where is the logic in this decision? It did then and could now cost us this election. They are plenty good enough to hit the campaign trail though.

Well, this is just about the biggest mess I have ever seen. So, why are Bill and Hillary expected to whole-heartedly throw their support behind this guy? Didn't she just spend months proving why Obama was not qualified? Yet now she is being criticized for holding back on her enthusiasm? Any other time that a politician changes there opinion about an issue, they get torn apart for it- But now its not only O.K., but viciously expected? This election is turning everyone into hypocrites, its very scary. If only Hillary were on the ticket, this election would be over the top for the Democrats, McCain would not even have a chance, and Sara Palin would not even be known of outside of Alaska.

Still Undecided................................................

Call what Clinton said the truth. They are both his friends and they will not put each other down. He is rigth when he says that it is up to the American people to decide who is best for president. One thing I will say and I believe to the full extent of my intelligence. I believe Bii is keeping out of this and only saying so much because Obama has plans to have Hillary stated into the Supreme Court and he must watch what he is saying because he can't seen to bias in order to make Hillarys appointment more valid. But what a great move it would be on Obama's part to have her installed in the Supreme Court. Man what a day in history that would be. Wtach out Old Boys Club, your days are numbered.

Sooo funny ... liberals are now saying oh hillary never wanted VP , they will justify any irrational idea , if it makes no sense, if it's a distorted view of reality they'll buy it , proof is in who they are supporting blindly, Obama's own VP said on tape in his own words "Obama not qualified to be President , he's not ready " words to that effect from his own vp choice ... great team they will solve nothing... and Biden from old Washington .. so much for that rhetoric.

I have a problem believing Hillary would have accepted VP if ask. It's not bad enough her own party screwed her, made her bend over and smile...It's obvious she is only saying what she must, and not because it's what she wants to do...but must. It's to Hillary's advantage for Senator McCain to win...Which is why, I'll be voting for him. I'll never rrrrrrbe a Democrat again...but I will vote for Hillary in '12.
Go McCain/Palin!!! No way, no how, NOBAMA!

Seem to me the Clintons are holding back support in hopes that Obama loses so Hillary can take another shot 2012. Especially bitter Bill, but she will never get another vote from me if Obama loses.

To BEN: It's obvious that you need to pay more attention to who your supporting! Obama has talked about the economy over and over and over again as well as job creation. I really don't get it when someone says that Obama doesn't talk about this or that some of yall need to start listening. DON'T HEAR, LISTEN!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!

OBIDEN!!

It's clear the Clintons have no use for Obama. They are putting forth a token effort so she'll have party support in 2012'.

I really can't blame them. Obama totally debased and demeaned Hillary as a person and as a woman. But it seems he can't do the same thing to Sarah Palin. Sarah just smiles and Obama trembles. When Obama looks into Sarah's eyes on his TV, he sees nothing but steel looking back at him. And since he's such a woos, I'm sure he wets his pants.

Government laws are a joke. Palin for criminal! Throw that subpeona away criminals and terrorize the country. Palin has your back...

Hillary can do more replacing Harry Reid as majority leader in the Senate where democrats will pick up another 6 seats in Nov. and they can work with an Obama adminstration on a healthcare policy.

I think Bill should go and sit down until this election is over. Smart people in America already know that Obama is qualified to be Commander in Chief. He is also qualified to lead this country including fighting terrorism. We cannot fight mordern day terrorism with 1968 idealogy. This moment in time calls for a younger man with intelligence and candor to lead this country. Thi is not the country of the cowboys only. It's also for the young and thoughtful.

He's beginning his Hillary '12 campaign, but if McCain wins, Palin will be elected '12 because of her 4 years of VP experience. You PUMAs had better be very careful – it may turn on you and the rest of the country.

Obama/Biden '08 (Hillary will get a good position)

Should Bill Clinton still have some anger about the primary elections?Of course I think I would too. Will this stop me from voting for Obama?Heck no!

Bill just can't make himself endorse Obama, at least not with any conviction or emotion. It's clear the Clinton's do not like Barack Hussein.

It's really irrelevant anyway since it is becoming clear that the country will not elect a black. 40% of whites see blacks as violent and lazy. They also see the anger of Michelle Obama and her lack of patriotism.

Hillary 12'

I voted for Hillary in the NV primary. I watched her campaign and debates get increasingly nasty. Even the people working within the campaign fought among each other on which way the campaign should be going. I sincerely believe Hillary would've got the nomination if her campaign would've been more positive and I think the Clintons see that too. That's why they are not being nasty and taking sides.

Too bad I can't vote for Bill Clinton a third time. He was and still is the best of the lot. He can think deeply on issues and has broad knowledge.
He also knew how to pick a great supporting cast.

PINNOCHIO!

WAY TO GO BILL. I JUST WISH YOU WERE IN THE WHITE HOUSE SO WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS MESS. AND I THINK THAT OBAMA DIDN'T WANT HILLARY FOR VICE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE HAS A MUCH MORE IMPORTANT JOB FOR HER. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE? AND TO THE LADY THAT SAID BLAME THE DEMOCRATS FOR THE MESS WE ARE IN BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN IN CONTROL OF CONGRESS FOR 6 YEARS, YOU NEED A HISTORY LESSON. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN IN CONTROLL FOR 16 YEARS. SMOKE ON THAT A WHILE.

Did you even read what President Clinton said?

Stop demonizing the "other" side. Stop being sucked into a rabid, emotional state of emotional slavery to any one celebrity.

Use your head.

Both sides are rational – and both have different plans to address issues like the economy, healthcare and education. Both care about their country and think they have the best solutions.

Read their plans. Argue for the logic. Ask hard questions about why you're not hearing anything from 3rd party candidates. And quit whining about who said what about lipstick.

This partisan attitude is what got us into this mess. Every nasty email puts another nail in our country's coffin.

I voted for Clinton in the Primaries and think she would have made a great president. But, I don't think she wanted to be v.p. from the start. Thats why she was running for president people. And to think that some comments above are stating that Clinton endorsed Mcsain is dumb... Really Bump he said that Obama will win in November. You all have to remember Bill is a former President he still has to act Presidential.... I love how the republician comments oviously dont know there facts. Fact check people you have computers!!

Why would Bill suport Obama???? Bills knows Obama is not qualified for the job and has no experience. I believe Bill is veryyyyyy smarttttttt!!

hey "mike" there's no such thing as "012". no wonder you're voting mccain.

I worked for & voted for Republican tickets for years, but there is NO way I can support the McCain/Palin ticket. First of all, I just don't think John McCain is completely in touch with reality. But most importantly, I've seen Sarah Palin in action... and there is NO way on earth I could vote for this woman for Vice President (only a heartbeat away from the Presidency). She is uninformed, inept, corrupt, egotistical, uncaring, and vengeful. The only thing important to this woman is her personal political career. Anybody in her way better watch their backs.

...sounds like Bill Clinton just endorsed McCain!!!!!!

Go Bill ..... LOL

McCain lost another one.....beautiful post. Too bad Obama is guilty of a lot of the things you are complaining about. Lobbyist money is in his coffers and on his campaign. factcheck.org had a great article on how the only logical way that Obama could claim to be free of lobbyist money was to change the definition of what lobbyist money is.

If you want to vote for Obama because you want for some of his socialist leaning policies or because of the supreme court that is one thing. It is another story when you actually believe he is bi-partisan or will change politics. we have heard enough lies and double speak from him to know he is more of the same.

if anything we should have learned that letting one party control both houses of congress and the white house is the real danger.

I believe that Obama should have consider Hillary and that he should have selected her. But, is there anyone else out there that understands why the hell he didn't?????????

You don't have to hate McCain to vote for Obama. This election is a choice of political directions for our country. Stop with all the name calling, half truths, anger and calls for political revenge because your candidate didn't win. It isn't helping. If you really want to change the way things are done and have the government do more for its people then vote for Obama. If you are happy with the way things are and want a smaller government that is cheaper but doesn't do as much then choose McCain. Not all that complicated really.

I was eager to watch the interview but then it just became clear that Bill Clinton had not at all changed since the primary season and was in fact, nastier than ever. It's now clear to me that he is trying to get people to vote for McCain. He's had more than ample time to restore his legacy and yet keeps tarnishing it again and again.

We might get Hillary afterall!? This is what I heard...
On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems,
and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

People, people. Why so much hate? It's amazing to me how americans lash out at candidates for Presidency and VP, instead of direct it to George W. Bush who brought misery to your country and the world. Understand you are a public servant when in political office and these people are not monsters, McCain, Palin, Obama, Biden. They are mere humans just like YOU, and some are of high intellect and others are not. (I won't share who I think has the high intellect lest this incur more hatred). But ALL of them share the concept of "service". And if they don't they will soon learn what it means if they are chosen. Instead of cackling like witches at these candidates, why not channel your anger into constructive learning of the issues so you can make your best choice.

BILL CLINTON IS ONLY MAD, BECAUSE HE DID NOT GET HIS BIG FOOT BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

Be honest Mr Clinton ,you have no guts for Barack Obama ,you dislike him since the first day he declared to be a candidate for the democratic party.With your last comment, you do not sound to democratic so make up your mind which candidate you rely want for president.

I am VERY disappointed in Bill Clinton and this interview! He literally
"wasted" a chance to speak up for his party! Sounds "bitter" to me.
No enthusiasm for Obama!

We don't want McCain's experience. Thanks to "experience, we are
in a nightmare with wars!!! And Palin mentions Russia and Iran as
"possiblities." Bill Clinton, Get real for your country's and your party's
sake!!!!

Obama Biden 2008

It's too bad that Hillary couldn't have secured the nomination, I worry that Obama is going to lose the election... Clinton was a slam dunk in a race that shouldn't have ever been this close...

If Bill Clinton is not coming outright to support the Democratic candidate,then he should stop granting interviews about the candidates.

I do not understand the thinking of ex-Hillary's voters/supporters.....please tell me how Hillary will win in 2012 for I really want to know? Do you really, in all honesty, think that Blacks will support Hillary in 2012 if Obama does not win this year...there will be SOME that will, but a lot of Blacks will view President Clinton's half-hearted remarks last week and today in the vain that they were spoken. These remarks are showing the Black community that President Clinton does not have Obama's best interest at heart...we will see though...only time will tell...2012– its not as far away as some thinks....

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
BIDEN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
HILLARY FOR SEC OF STATE OR SUPREME COURT YES WE CAN YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would have been a complete waste of talent to have made
Senator Clinton VP.
In my opinion that is why they had a meeting soon
after Senator Clinton declared her bid for Presidential nominy
over. If Dems.had not been so rabid about having a women
for Presidant they would have seen this.
The Demacratic Party almost divided over it as most of us
witnest it.

for all of you people saying that Sarah Palin hasn't been attacked, Lou Dobbs is doing a story on it tonight on CNN. Obama has run more negative ads than McCain that's just a fact. Obama labeled the Clintons racist in order to win and now he wants their help! LOL funny!

No doubt, media loves any liberal candidate , especially Obama.
80% of media seems to be favouring Obama-Biden all the way.

Yet, McCain-Palin are not very far behind.

Going by the state of affairs, it should have been a clean-sweep for Obama-Biden, but not happening.

What is the reason ?

I work for what I have, I've never held my hand out because it's "my right,"I guess that makes me an elitist?

The special interest socialist bigots will ruin this country.

McCain/Palin '08.

I agree with President Clinton that both McCain and Obama are good candidates. And I understand that he wanted Senator Clinton to be the Democratic nominee. But now that Obama has won the nomination and the election is getting so close, can't he just get over it and throw his support for Obama? I'm starting to wonder how much he actually loves this country. As one of the leading members of the Democratic party, he should be stumping for Obama at this point. It almost seems like he's about to pull a Joe Lieberman.

Senator Clinton, on the other hand, is doing a great job supporting Obama graciously. I'm proud of her for trying to pull the Democratic party back together.

@lol. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. The DNC didn't push any candidate down anyone's throat. That is another straw man argument that is based on lies. I find it interesting that suddenly, everyone thinks that the DNC was in the tank for Obama, when Hillary was the one who had the best political machines because of her relationship with members of the party, not Obama. He was an outsider, Hillary wasn't. Also, for all of the moaning and complaining about those "crooked" caucuses, I noticed, no one had a complaint UNTIL Obama started to win them. Now they are evil and must be banished. Oh, and the MI/FL debacle. don't kid yourself. The GOP did the EXACT same thing to those two states and others for violating the rules. And although people seem to get amnesia about this FACT, HRC not only signed up for the rules about stripping those states of their delegates, but one of her chief campaign advisers, Harold Ickes, was responsible for creating the rules.

So enough. If you prefer Hillary to Obama, that's fine. But please stop with the made up myths to justify your support.

If Hillary were the nominee the race would be over. Obama might win, but it will not be by any landslide. He is not who dem, voters really want. I hope McCain takes it – Obama will do nothing but get us in more financial trouble than we are already in and he is no leader. He will be weak when it comes to protecting us. I hope people do not vote just on the economy but also on homeland security. McCain can straighten out the economy better than Obama can anyday.

I blame the Media and the dem. party for this race being such a close one. I hope you are all happy that you got what you wanted so far. I hope you do not get the end result you are looking for.

Hillary supporter for McCain/Palin

CNN come on guys this is not news. Where is the news on the bailout?

CNN be in the forefront on breaking news we can use to make informed decision in this next election.

Be brave CNN and break the mold of not going after the truth, you can do it if you want to.

Sure sure sure Bill. America believes everything a Clinton says. Do you really think we are as dumb as you hope we are? or are you just to stupid to realize we see through you?

But by all means keep complaining an whining like the loser you are just to get some headlines.

The Clinton Dynasty is dead in America and the Obamabots killed it. Please do America a favor and shut up and go away.

We (in Canada) our facing our own election campaign – thankfully it is limited to 6 weeks and not 2 years and the long drawn out and expensive campaign in the United States. It is interesting that George Bush appears invisible already months before leaving office. Remember America you voted him in twice and by all accounts will go down as one of the worst presidents to ever govern – Whoever wins, it will be interesting after the oath of office is taken and the honeymoon is over and Americans will soon turn on the newly elected President.
Sorry but you can't forget George Bush and you are to blame American because you elected him!!!

hahaha.....
wow.....sounds like President Clinton is endorsing Sen. Mccaine.....he's right!

This is great....now I can tell what Bill is really thinking and that is Sen. Mccaine is the only one ready.

Thanks for your support Bill

The Straight Talk Express is on the Brdige to Now Where!
Mike, Crwal back under your rock. You've obviously been nodding off
the last 8 years. Moron

BILL IS ONLY OUT FOR HIMSELF!!!! If he was a true democrat, and not such a poor loser, he would endorse Obama with much greater enthusiasm.....Just because his wife lost the primaries, he cannot be man enough to support Obama more, even though Obama and Hillary's positions were almost identical. He is a disgrace to the Democratic Pary!!!!

If I am half german and half indian, does that make me a frau squaw ??? and would you hold it against me because I have olive colored skin ? speak with an accent..?? no, because no one ever has, BUT, you hold it against Obama because his "half" black side tinted his skin so you over look he is WHITE too..the only few blogs on here are fromn the really "adult" people, who have put bias aside !!! if you live by people of all colors, work with them, go to church with them, expect to see them in heaven too ( they WILL be there ) thens whats so difficult about electing a really smart, intelligent person of mixed color ? I dont fear ANY color..why do you ???????????????
for Obama

Dr James Cone's Description of BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, from his book "BLACK POWER AND BLACK THEOLOGY", used as the basis for the vision statement of Obama's Church, Trinity United:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

Among the Obama's charitable donations in 2007 was the generous amount of $26,270 to Trinity United Church of Christ.

OBAMA SAT IN THAT CHURCH 20 YEARS. THAT'S WHY I WON'T VOTE FOR THIS PARTICULAR BLACK MAN!

Amen Herman from LA; it will be a great day in America when we all learn how to comprehend the news as it is and not how we would like for it to be.

Together we stand and divided we fall. The republicans was very upset about Palin, but they got on TV and lied as if she was the best thing since ice cream was invented.

A little tip about Palin's approval rating in Alaska: I read where Steven, a republican elected official in alaska won handly against a democrat one month after he was indicted for a crime. Therefore, it is fair to say that Alaska votes republican no matter what the quality of person on the ticket. With that being noted, it is no wonder why Sarah has such a great approval rating there.

Obama/Biden 08

It seems obvious that Bill and Hillary can't support Obama. They are trying to support the Democratic party but can't seem to get behind Obama. It also seems obvious that HRC likes her chances in four years.

Also people are leaving out the main thing. She would have taken it if asked is what bill said, so apparently she wasn't asked, so that was not what the meeting was about after the primaries.

The president I want decided for me. Initially I had nothing against Obama but, the more I learn about him the less I like what I see. He seems to tell us anything we want to hear in order to win and it looks as if he has few policies of his own. ( He appears to co-opt the ideas of others). The man is not qualified to be POTUS, especially with the economy in the tank. Barak Obama is not experienced enough to get us out of this mess.
John McCain co-sponsored legislation in 2006' to increase regulation of the housing sector as he felt there was a growing problem with the way Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing business. Looks like he was right.

I don't agree with this statement,

"He wouldn't think so highly of McCain if Hillary were running against him"

If there is ANYTHING I remember from Bill Clinton running against Bob Dole in 1996 is that in the debate against Bob Dole, Clinton praised Bob Dole's long service to the country. He would praise McCain if Hillary was the nominee. Former Presidents should support their party's nominee, and Bill Clinton does, but I don't think it appropriate to be excessively partisan in the support they give. Sure, they should be out there and campaign, but they shouldn't criticize the opposition too much, but rather highlight the strengths of their party's nominee. Obama's platform is much more like Hillary's than is McCain's and that is a big reason Clinton supports him. I supported Hillary in the primaries and will vote for Obama in the general election. I never really thought that it was in Hillary's interest to be the VP, since if the ticket lost, she would lose along with the ticket and if the ticket won, that if she ran for President in '16 that she would be the sitting VP which usually don't win the White House. She won't be under Obama's shadow when she runs for president again in '16 and she won't have the VP Biden to run against her, because he will be 74 that year. Hillary will be a young 69. McCain for instance, wouldn't have had a ghost of chance this year if he had been Bush's VP.

Mr. President: And you call this "helping" Sen. Obama?
I voted for you, I supported you through Monica-gate, but I lost respect for you during this primary season - and now you lost me completely.
So disappointing that you won't get out there and stump the way we all know you can. Shame on you.

Unless Hillary says otherwise, I take Bill's word that she didnt want to be VP despite what anyone else says. Beside, if I were her the next job to seek would be governor of New York. Or.... perhaps it's true and a deal was struck to nominate her for the supreme court. Now that would be huge and a deal like that has happened before in the US.

Oh yeah, like Mike up there is a real person. Ignore trolls 08!

Amen. Maybe this will put the question to rest about being qualified for the job....

How ever Obama can not be trusted with the presidency . Why? Look at what he has worn. Look at the allegiance to the flag wont hold his hand over his heart.

Find out how he got his opponents kick off the ballot in Illinois

Find out what ties he has with the undesirables in Chicago Area.

How much did Obama get for kickbacks from the failing or failed lending institutions

THIS GUY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED

After the way Hillary was treated by the DNC why would she ever want to be Obama's second-rate "sweetie"? At least Bill was honest and fair. Obama could never hold a candle to either Clinton, and Bill knows it!

Bill Clinton is the only Democrat in modern times to beat the Republican Smear Campaign tactics. I am confident Barack Obama will also beat the Republican Smear Campaign tactics. It's September and the Republicans are down to making up stories about banning guns and trying to tell us the economy is strong, fundamentally. Now they can't figure out why they are dropping in the polls. Well hello!!!!

Biden is a good guy. I have to admit I like Biden the best after Clinton as a candidate. He helped women for violence. He has a life story from which he would understand women (he had to be a single father for a while). So I have no complaint to Biden choice. Only I wish Clinton is the ticket. I guess Clintons are the people from the past now.

I liked McCain in 2000, but not McCain in 2008. What happened to him? The moment he chose Palin, just because she is a woman, I lost my trust in McCain. We are for the issues and policies for women. Palin to make women pay for the examination fees for rape is unacceptable. She is a man with lipstick, that's not what we want. If McCain chose someone like the GOP senator from Texas Kate, who is for choice, he could have swayed us. What an insult McCain gave us. He is trying to trade our soul in this election. He will give us a wish to see a woman on the ticket in exchange of loss of choices and rights of women. That sounds like a devil in Faust. His intention is evil.

You "we will never vote Obama even though we know it is best for our country" Hillary supporters are really getting quite nauseating! I can guarantee you she already knows what her cabinet position is going to be when Obama is elected POTUS. You KNOW that Hillary and the McCain ticket have absolutely nothing in common. Their views are so ridiculously opposite that it defies any and all logic that you would vote for him because Hillary lost. Sexism and Racism BOTH played a role in this election. Hillary and Obama took swipes at each other. I am a DEMOCRAT what I value and my beliefs for this country have NEVER lined up with the Republicans. Had Hillary won, I would be working for her campaign, and donating to her campaign to get her elected just like I am Obama's. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!! GROW UP!!!!

Bill, I love you guy, but please get behind Obama and stop trying not to hurt anyone's feelings. You know, as most of us, that McCain/Palin would be a disaster for this country. You know, as most of us, that we need the democrats Obama/Biden in the White House. You know, as most of us, that John McCain is not suited to be President of the United States. We can't afford another government that is not transparent and honest with the American people and the world for that matter. Who are you voting for Mr. Bill? I'm confused.

People here say they admire both Obama and the Clintons, how can that be, Obama told us Bill Clinton is nothing but a racist. Isn't that what he said. Why would Obama now want the help of a racist to win the campaign, how can you admire that. or was Obama saying anything to win. Has to be one or the other, either he's a racist, and that is unforgivable, or Obama was saying anything to win....which is it.

What should Bill Clinton say about how ready either candidate is for the presidency?

The Clintons are not running for the presidency. Bill Clinton owes Obama and the Democratic Party NOTHING.

He's been the president – and presided over unprecedented prosperity. The party "leadership" wants to keep him, THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRAT IN A HALF CENTURY, under wraps.

How dumb can you get?

His fellow party members show no respect, and very little recognition, of his accomplishments.

Right now, he's just Mr. Former President. He likes everybody. Whatever you do, I'm not part of it. He's done more than most Americans, living or dead, for this country.

We owe him thanks. He owes Obama NOTHING. He owes the Democratic Party NOTHING. He owes his fellow Americans NOTHING...GET IT?

Obama's greed and lust for power got in his way on this one, and he is On His Own. He thought he was so very smart, so savvy, so clever in the way he out maneuvered everyone, Chicago Style.

And he just can't shake McCain. Obama guessed wrong on this one, as did Howard Dean and Co.

They deserve whatever they get.

The trouble is, America deserves better than McCain, and we won't get it.

Comments like that is the reason we as democrats are so divided. Bill Clinton should have said if Hillary had dropped out of the race when she really lost the nomination instead of running to gain the popular vote, knowing well that it wouldn't count, she would have been properly vetted and consider for VP. I am sure the Obama's vetting team looked out for his best interest as the seek a person who fully supported Obama rather than one who was thinking of ways to derail him.

I love Hillary, but any one with common sense should realize that she dropped out of the race for president during the convention.

Obama/Biden 08

The Clinton's are backing Obama because he is the only rational choice. It would be hypocritical for them to back anyone whose political views are 180 degrees in opposition – just as hypocritical as John McCain's change and reform position. After 26 years in the Senate and having voted 90% of the time with George W. Bush, this man cannot take a position that he is a change agent!!! What hypocrisy!!

Obama/Biden in '08

the dnc shoved obama down america's throat. the FL and MI mess, and their crooked caucus's were designed for obama to win. what a joke the democratic party has become. hillary would have been the best candidate for president. sexist obama picked the MAN with a few thousand votes, over the WOMAN with over 18 million. bad judgement and lack of experience are what obama brings to the table.

I can see Obama supporters are in a tizzy again, because some praises mccain and not just Obama. I can see they will take their hate out on Hillary. People leave Hillary alone. She has done more for Obama than he would have ever done for her had she won. She help raise 5 million for him. While he has barely asked his supporters to help with her debt(a little flimsy by the way hillary needs money at the end of speech doesnt cut it) She could have let the roll call vote go all the way she didnt. Since has campaigned for him in Ohio, nevada, florida, New Mexico, and california(this doesnt even include the appearnce she put in for him at the end of th primaries in June.) She backed out of an rally out of respect for the Obama camp because organizers didnt invite Obama or biden until the last minute. She also started a drive called Hillary sent me to battle ground states for Obama. Obama has done nothing for her. So just get off of her she had done more than any form presidential canidate has done for the winner. Why isnt pelosi and dean out stomping for him ? Edwards the weasel is still hiding, and poor biden keeps making gaffes.

YAWN. OLD NEWS. WHO CARES. Obama up 3 and 6 with 2 polls in VA..Obama up in Colorado.. WOW.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. She didn't get it, now says she didn't want it. But she did say she was open to it at the time, that she would do "whatever was necessary for Obama to win." Sounds to me like she fully expected to be the presidential nominee, and that she thenfully expected the vice presidential nomination when she didn't get that. She petitioned enough of her well connected backers to fight for her, didn't she?

Yeah, just sour grapes. And these days, nobody like Bill Clinton or cares what he has to say anyway. Hillary lost the presidential nomination because of him. But then, she wouldn't even have been running in the first place if she hadn't been married to him. So who cares?

I supported Hillary. Now I support McCain/Palin. Obama is not my choice. I did not like him in the primary, and I like him even less now. He is inexperienced and unqualified. His wife is a joke of an American citizen. I do not care what all you bloggers say. McCain has a background of working together with people. Obama has a background of attending a hateful, bigoted church If everyone thinks that is AOK, fine. I do not. I vote McCain. Period.

Bill Clinton' s lukewarm endorsement is a travesty..

iF YOU PEOPLE SIMPLY ( FOR WHAT EVER REASONS, ) CANT BRING YOUR SELF TO VOTE FOR A HALF BLACK HALF "WHITE" PERSON, THEN VOTE THE PARTY..OUR ECONOMY IS WAYYY TO BAD TO LET REPUBLICANS KEEP MESSING WITH IT ANY MORE...EVEN MCCAIN IS "ADOPTING" SOME OF OBAMAS IDEAS, SUCH AS PUTTING WARREN BUFFET AS ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE..COMPLETLY BI PARTISIAN, AS OBAMA HAS SAID ALL ALONG..WHAT BILL CLINTON SAYS OR DOES SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY BEARING ON THIS ANYMORE..ITS "OUR" FUTURE..CLINTONS FUTURE IS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF !!!!!!

OMG, CNN please, don't get it started again!

Obama did not ask Hillary because she has NO foreign experience. So, he asked someone who does.
It had nothing to do with her being a woman.

Bill and Hillary know that by saying that either one could be president they can get their cake and eat it too. If McCain wins, they keep on good terms with him and his administration while she's in the Senate and she can set up for another run in 4 years. If Obama wins, she can accept a cabinet level job or similar and keep in his good graces as well and see what happens down the road.

Bill and Hillary are very shrewd politicians and know how to plan, too bad they hadn't planned on Obama in the primaries. Guarantee that won't happen the next time!

Hillary 2012 or 2016..Bank On It!

You have to learn to understand Bill. According to the article:

He praised Biden.

He said Obama was ready.

He said McCain was ready.

He didn't mention that walking disaster Palin.

Obama/ Hillary would have been nice but it would not have worked. Neither would have Hillary/Obama.

Right now it's just the Republicans bringing up Hillary in order to cause problems. Any thinking person knows that if Hillary had been chosen, it would have been four months of "failed health plan", "Whitewater", and "Monica". Anything to get the Democrats off of the game.

But the game is on. The Republicans have failed us on the economy, they have failed us on the environment, they have failed us on foreign policy, they have failed us on education, they have failed us on social policy. 8 years of failure is more than enough.

I hate to say it, but I thing Bill is in bed with Mc Cain. I have felt this for a while now. And "The View" interview just proved it to me.

Reading between the lines, I think I have gotten my answer.

Vote for McCain. Thank you Bill.

Democrat for Hillary.

I can certainly see why Hillary would not want to be the VP. She's better than that. And it fits everything else she's done in her life that she would do it if asked because she would see it as her duty.

But never underestimate the power of the Democrats to lose even an election like this that should be a no-brainer.

Hillary got more votes, and she should be the candidate now. She isn't. If McCain doesn't get us blown up in the next four years, perhaps America will come to its senses at long last and put her in office.

Sarah Palin's overwhelming ignorance and willingness to expose her family to scrutiny that is inevitable is both disgusting and scary.

She is an awful person, and she is downright mean. Karzai is covering all bases in being willing to "meet" her. Tells this writer that his case for our involvement in Afghanistan is not good as Bush et al would have us believe.

Obama will do for this decade what Clinton did for the 90s.
That is bring the peace, prosperity, and fairness back that the Bush administration has squandered.

"I think you gotta decide which president you want.” says Clinton.

One thing is becoming very clear every time you open your mouth: we don't want another Clinton. If this is your idea of party support, you and Lieberman are a perfect match.

I am sorry now that I supported you during all of your mess.

Who cares what Bill thinks or says? Who cares what those yentas on the View think?

IS THIS NEWS?????

"I think McCain is ready to be president" Bill Clinton

McCain isn't ready to be the greeter at Wal-Mart.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008-2012

Clinton is just trying to stroke both sides so he can get his way still no matter who is elected. Bill Clinton is the institution just like Kerry, Bush, Cheney, Gore, Edwards, etc. etc .etc They are all the same greedy family. It's pathetic the media won't call the US government out on this BS!!! Barack Obama is the only candidate in this election, besides Ron Paul, that is honest and represents the people of America. Obama and Paul's are the only two who's familie's will not be directed screwed if they are not elected. McCain's, Clintons, Kerry's, Gore's, Bush's. are all the same. They want to retain power in their elite circles. Obama is anti-institution just like Ron Paul. We have to elect Obama if America wants to know the truth about the last 8 years and the truth about the next 8.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008/2012!!!

Bill Clinton is "RIGHT ON" about the bailout which brings me to this ....

> McCain 08
> then
> Hillary 012

Bwa ha ha ha... funniest thing I have read. Trust me, if Obama doesn't win, his supporters will come out in drove and elect Miss. Pitt-Bull Vice President the next leader. What's good for the goose...

JOBS . . . I haven't heard either candidate talk a great deal about how they are going to work to create more jobs. It was the creation of jobs in the New Deal that allowed us to recover from the Great Depression and spending more $ on bailouts without creating more jobs nationwide isn't overly bright.

I'm for Obama, but the man needs to come through with a reasonable economic plan in a timely fashion rather than just blame others.

I admire the Clintons. Bill said it right. Both McCain and Obama are ready to be President. You don't have the experience to be President until you are President. You have to choose what kind of President you want. Obama's plan is closer to Hillary's and McCain isn't the type of person I want to be President. It's scary that he lies so much and he seems like a loose canon with "Bomb bomb bomb Iran".

That last statement Bill Made, sounds a bit bipartisian to me.
Whose side is he on, for GOD's Sake???? OMG. I think Bill has
to do better than that!!!!!

Come on Bill, you can say it. Hillary and you and all us PUMA PAC supporters know what happened in the Caucuses. We all know Hillary is the REAL winner with the popular vote and the battleground states...

Check out CAUCUSCHEATING.COM if you Obamabots want to know what your cult leader really did.. of course if you were involved you already know.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

I believe Bill when he says that Hillary didn't really want the VP job. She wanted the top spot and the Vice Presidency wasn't it. Second place on the ticket isn't what she ran for. I'm not really sure she would have even accepted the VP spot. My guess is that she'll go for the New York Governorship when it comes up to burnish her resume for 2016. Hillary is not the type to take a back seat to anybody. John McCain needs to watch his back. Governor Palin knows she is more popular than he is and I think she has plans of her own and Senator Mccain isn't part of them.

Read "John McCain, In His Own Words" and "Meet John McCain, Part I" at http://www.voterealchange.com and judge for yourself what McCain's own words not only say about his position on the issues, but what they reveal about his character.
Vote for Real Change

HERE WE GO AGAIN BLAMING THE CLINTONS FOR THE BIGGEST MISTAKE BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA DID.

THE UNGRATEFUL DEMOCRATS AND OBAMITES ARE WORSE THAN THE RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS...YOU ACTUALLY DID THE DIRTY WORK THAT THEY WERE GONNA DO.
IF MCACAIN WINS AND THIS COUNTY GOES DOWN THE TUBE THEN YOU ARE TO BE BLAMED NOT THE RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS

I love all the Obama supporters here who think Bill Clinton should support Obama. OBAMA CALLED HIM A RACIST, who would support someone after being called that. Bill and HIllary Clinton spent their whole lives working for the rights of others, and along comes Obama and spews his hate, and now you whine when Bill Clinton just won't accept Obama's dirty politics. Maybe that's your idea of hope and change, it sure isn't mine, and it must not be Bill Clinton's either. What a joke!

Anyone but Obama 08

"I think McCain is ready to be president" Bill Clinton>>>

I'm sure we will see this soon in a McCain ad. Never mind the fact that he also said Obama. Was ready also,. Thanks a lot Bill.

What a lie,the Clintons are tryin to hurt Obamas chances of winning in November,did you noticed when Obama was trailing in the polls after the republican convention the clintons was no where around,but when Obama regain the lead lastweek the Clintons are everywhere prasing sarah palin,its obvious they dont want obama to win,its obvious hillary wants to run in 2012,so the Clintons are up to no good

Clinton showed why is so different from Obama and his followers. Bill Clinton has is not a hater. Clinton has done whatever Obama has ask of him in this campaign. It is Obamas responsibility to sell himself to voters across this nation.
There is a reason Clinton left office with a 62 percent approval rating.

Don't get me wrong. I think Bill Clinton was the very best president this country ever had BUT I don't think he wanted Hillary to be president. Just think about it. He was angry most of the time he was out on the campaign trail and did and said a lot of things that always put Hillary in a negative light as far as the press was concerned, which reflected back to the public. Lets get real. Can you see the two of them 8 years down the road IF she had been elected. With those two egos, they wouldn't have been able to live in the same house... LOL...

I think I forgot...is Bill Clinton a democrate???

It is all for the best. Really, Bill.
We can have a fresh start. The young people know that it is time.

Palin, as a woman, is the worst pick McCain could have made, but
McTrick had his fun with it.

Out with the old and in with the new. Its someone else's turn.

Experience? Did Bush have experience. He was partying when his
dad was Pres. And, as for McCain and experience? OMG. He wants
to go to war with Russia and Iran. That would be 4 wars at one time!!!.

I am very happy about the real possiblity of Obama Biden win.

VERY HAPPY. I like Obama and Biden. They both tell the truth to
the American People, which is what our good Country deserves.

I believe there are bigger plans for Hillary Clinton in an Obama administration (cabinet post, Supreme Court, Senate leader, etc.).

No way, no how, no McCain-Palin

Eight is ENOUGH

Of course she didn't want to be the VP....She wants to be president, but she will have to wait until 2012. She knows Obama can't win.

whatever....
NO REPUBLICANS ANY MORE.
NO REPUBLICANS ANY MORE.
NO REPUBLICANS ANY MORE.
NO REPUBLICANS ANY MORE.

"...have no choice but to back Obama."

We all have choice – we can vote our conscience and vote Green Party. Don't let the empty corporate suit tell you what to do.

why would she want to be vise president for a man who could only win by labeling his opponent a racist. Why would she give up every thing she believes to run with a man who supports FISA and the Cheney Energy bill. The only way Obama can win is to tell his ignorant followers that everyone is a racist, and that working women are bad mothers. Hillary is better than this, and thank god she didn't team up with this empty suit. He has to whine to Bill Clinton now in order to win, the same man he called a racist. What a desperate joke this man is!

he's just calling it the way it is. it's really up to the american people what kind of president the country wants.
for those that think barrack is a radical change and want to go for something that feels safe they might go for mccain.

but then again, this is the time when america needs to try something different. obama has the best grasp of the issues. and a vp pick that he could actually rely on important issues such as foreign affairs. mccain's selection is a dangerous one.
because of his vp pick, i for one will not go for mccain. apart from his seeming lack of attention to details and grasps of issues.
america can't afford these types of risk anymore. america needs calculated risk. obama is risky because he is young and new to the scene. but we've witnessed for over a year now how he runs things and his judgements and temperament and intelligence. he is what i would call calculated risk.
i would go for that.

Hillary is better off not being the VP nominee. Obama will lose this election and stil try to blame Hillary. She cant win for losing.
But Obama continues to send her all over to stump for him, because he knows she is incredibly popular.

I long ago stopped caring about what Bill Clinton thinks! It's time, past time he stood up and said Obama is the best choice for this country! His half hearted responses are stale!

Is she going to take the position when Biden drops out of the race after the first debate? That's the rumor going around.

So he must think Palin is experienced to since she is a Governor just like he was and didn't have an ounce of foreign policy experience. I feel sorry for Pres. Clinton he has to back Obama for his party not because he is qualified. Hillary's economic plan would have helped us more out of this mess without all these taxes Obama will put on us.

Whatever!! Sour grapes. Doesn't look like she's doing much campaigning for him either, is she?

Hillary said she did. Bill and Hillary have no choice but to back Obama.

Of course Hillary wanted to be vice president, and like many other DEMS, I had hoped she would get that nod-but she didn't, so let's move on and focus on the things that unite us as Democrats: Real health care for all Americans, getting out of Iraq, boosting the economy, protecting senior citizens, and ensuring civil rights and equal opportunity for everyone. Those are things Hillary believes in, those are things Democrats believe in, and those are things Barack Obama believes in and we need to get him elected in Novmeber.

Obama/Biden 08

He wouldn't think so highly of McCain if Hillary were running against him. Clinton's, they are never to be trusted.

"I think McCain is ready to be president" Bill Clinton
i don't think that he's near ready to be president because of economy policy

Now can Hilary Supporters believe that?
No.. is the answer.
Obama will still be to blame! Even if there are rumours that he will choose Hilary for secretary of state

Great that she was willing to take one for the team though ... Now let's see Hillary on the stump non stop for the Democratic ticket.

Former President Clinton said it. Hillary did not want to be VP so please Hillary Clinton supporters remember what she fought for remember that the Clintons are not the Democratic Party. Remember that the Democratic party is bigger than Obama or the Clintons. If you believe in what Hillary fought for then you must vote for Obama. Hillary herself stated that the differences between her and Obama are small compared to her and McCain. Do we really want someone in office who says that the will cooperate with an investigation in their home state to only flip flop when the become the VP nominee.

See, people? So many have said it for so long...HRC didn't want it. Now get over yourselves, don't spite the rest of us through sour grapes, and vote the way any sensible Democrat/independent/ Republican with open eyes will–especially those who claimed to ever be a true, thinking supporter of Senator Clinton.

That's what that meeting , right after the primaries, between Barack and Hillary was all about. Barack wanted Hillary as his VP but she made it very clear that being VP wasn't in her plans.

Alright PUMA's and Hillary supporters backing McCain, what's your excuse now? The truth shall set you free!

No way, no how, nobama. Obama blames lobbyist, special interest while he has them on his campaign staff. What a hypocrite.

McCain 08

then

Hillary 012

I can just hear it now, how the woman on The View weren't hard on the Pres. how they didn't pick his bones. I enjoyed this show today would have liked to hear more about some of his projects.

What party are you from again, Bill? Sounds like you don't care who wins. What a wasted opportunity!

Vote OBAMA , the SANE choice.

I admire the Clintons and I advmire OBAMA. The Democrats are the winning ticket!

ok you have to "decide which president you want"-BC

that's a good point Bill, but i have to say that any respect i once had for McCain is gone...all of the lies and dirty attacks he has made, McCain still has given no substance only slogans (and most of those he stole from Obama), the fact that McCain has 169 lobbyist running his campaign, sang Bomb Iran, is in bed with Phil Gramm, pick an incompetent VP, has lied about Obama's record as well as his own, has flip flopped on EVERYTHING including his latest on regulations, is against equal pay for women, abortion, wants to continue the Bush tax cuts for the rich and so much more...these are just a few reasons i in all good faith and love of country CAN Not and WILL NOT vote for McCain

I can understand Hillary not wanting to be VP, same for Obama he didn't want to be her VP. This doesn't represent anything negative about either. If I was on a job interview with another qualified applicant, if he got the job I wouldn't want to be his secretary.

Vote smart this November. Vote good judgment. If you say that our economy is good now, you are an elitist and you do not know our struggle to put food on our bellies and gas in our cars. John McCain that elitist think the economy is good and has no plan to help us. He wants more wars, more tax cut for big corporate that ship our jobs oversees. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania I know that your economies are hurting and you must vote smart and vote someone who understands your economics’ struggles. It is not time to support someone who does not understand the economy, it is time to take our country back and get our respect back around the world. Vote Democratic this November if you are a true American who put America first. We need change in Washington and the Democratic Party has that change for us this November.

Thanks President Clinton for being non committal. You did nothing to help your party.

I love the fact that Bill never puts his full support behind Obama.

Wish I could vote Bill in for another 8 years. He would fix things up!!

hilary who?

She wasn't running for Veep she was running for the presidency. McShame did not pick any of his running mate so why is this an issue CNN.

I think clinton should be one sided...
I dont know where he belongs.

I know what president i want an its OBAMA the only rational thinking person in this election.
