we appreciate it so much!

McCain-Palin '08

desperation, desperation. McBlame is fishing for anything he can get to make him look like he's still in the race.

How is this negative news for Obama? Just because he is a democrat? Not everyone has the same thoughts and ideas. If Democrats made commercials every time Republicans made mistkaes there would be thousands of them.

Pray tell- Why DID the democrats install Obama and swiftboat the EVER more qualified Hillary Clinton?

_______________

Oh you mean the guy who got more electoral votes, and more popular votes than the runner up? If what you mean by a "swiftboat" is "going by the will of the people", then you really have a case there. Otherwise, please leave the talking to the adults in the room.

Obama = ACORN

ACORN = OBAMA

Bill Clinton knows who is responsible for this financial meltdown and that is the Democratic policies regarding no down payment home mortgage loans, and the ACORN agency driven by Obama politics and Chicago thugs style negotiation.

No America should not bail these crooks out, America should demand all of the millions upon millions of bonuses received by Directors of these firms.

A lynching is not good enough for these thieving evil minded, I don't care about anyone but myself Obomaphilias.

OBAMA = ACORN THE DESTROYERS OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE

Bill is no longer a champion of the people.
A sad day

Why are you posting comments from goons suggesting that people (lots of people) be "shot for treason"? (I know you won't post this comment but I want to ask the question anyway. Who's minding the store?

McCain is a joke. He sits around waiting for comments that he can grab out of context, and that is his campaign. How about something original?

How do people think Obama divided the party? If Hillary had graciously conceded once the writing was on the wall then the Dems would not be divided as badly. She also was the one that started using the same tactics that McCain is trying now.

Published: September 30, 1999
In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets - including the New York metropolitan region - will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

"Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990's by reducing down payment requirements," said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and chief executive officer. "Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market."
JUST A NOTE: Franklin D. Raines is currently a paid Obama advisor.
And so are the 3 ex-CEOs of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Countrywide......

Bill Clinton is not a candidate.

Well, McCain certainly likes to use others comments, but he seems to hate it when someone uses something he said against him. McCain is so out of touch with his Arizona constitutents, he blames the Democrats for the failure of the bill yesterday, but then he doesn't even know that ALL 8 of the Arizona representatives (4 Dem, 4 Rep) voted against the bill because they listened to their constitutents back home...But then again, McCain probably can't remember where his home is.

Again he can't talk about issues ... its all about him ......... what about this country . its not COUNTRY CLUB FIRST–you idiot

amazing how politicians and partisans are happy to turn on their very own when they don't say and do what they expect them to do. probably why we have such a lack of people who demonstrate real courage to stand up and speak the truth in washington. there are no more Mr. Smiths in washington, all we have left are ploting people who are only interested in keeping the power they managed to get their hands on. ordinary americans need to stand up and take this government back from the people who would rather have us divided and fighting each other.

Bill is a political time bomb. He is nobody's friend (including Hillary Clinton's). I knew not to use this guy in the campaign. But if it was necessary he should have a Obama spokesperson with him something like McCain's parrot Joe Leiberman . To think Bill has to know better is to think the same thing about John McCain in running for president. Yet he is still running....... not unless he suspended his campaign AGAIN. I read that somewhere this morning.

Bill Clinton needs to save his comments and opinions for a memoir many years from now. In my opinion, his mouth was a major detractor to his wife's presidential campaign, and is a major distraction in the final days of this presidential campaign. He has had his day, now he needs to let the current presidential candidate have his.

Dear Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton- please tell Bill to sit down and SHUT UP. Clinton in 2012.

I am not surprised at all by Bill Clinton's comments. After the ones he made during Hillary's run ( comments in South Carolina and elsewhere) though he claims not to be racists and for Obama comments in SC and this ad make me wonder??
Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar and knows better. All Palin can is that she has been on a few Alaska Roads...no comparison.
It does trouble me deeply and make me think that BIll is posturing for Hillary in 2012....If Obama loses, which I hope and pray deeply, he does not, it will in no small way be the lack of support from Bill Clinton.

I don't know what is up about the Clintons: It is clear now who they really supports.

On another issue, if you do not like what your constituints in congress had done, Let these sitting Congress know that you will not vote for them on their re-election. I already had submitted my proposal to some of our fellows on our organization not to vote for Pelosi. We'll if all of them follow suit, It will only be over 50,000 voters in her district.

Wow, The RNC is using both Bill and Hill as weapons to bring Obama down. Well actually their attempt is to sway public opinion and shift focus. They want to convince America that this economic disaster is the fault of the Dems...not the republicans who have been in power the last 8 years.

Does anybody remember when the rethuglicons convinced America that the Democrats would be soft on terror and we being the naive public that we are fell for it and voted them into the House and the Senate at record breaking numbers? Does anybody remember the last 8 years where they stripped the market of regulation and actually encouraged predatory lending? All of this was brought to you by the GOP. Now it's election season and they are counting on our memory to get hazy. Was it the reps or the dems that got us here? The dems have a bare majority in the House. This does not make Democratic congress. It will be a Democratic congress after this election cycle.
BELIEVE THAT!

I WANT MY GOVERNMENT BACK
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK

Dear Mr. Clinton,

If Barack loses it will not help your wife in 2012 because we will not forget your efforts. We (blacks) will give her the same support that your side has given him (OBAMA). If its good for the goose, its good for Hillary.

P.S. don't think a poor economy will change our minds because we (blacks) have always had a poor economy. Even under your administration......that's why we say to the rest of America....Welcome to our reality....stinks don't it!!!!

Idiot.

Bill Clinton undermining the Obama campaign so that he could pave the way for a certain disaster in a McCain/Palin presidency to give Hillary a quicker shot in 2012–you decide based upon his perosnality traits and his background if that is what's going on.

Once again, the McSame Campaign and all the Republicans will
do ANYTHING to get elected.

Vote for HOPE !!!!

Ahh and the Clinton's true color's are showing yet again. It's no accident that the Clinton's won't fully back Obama, the Clinton's are part of the institution in Washington that has retained power over the last 30 years. It was supposed to go Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, etc until the end of time but Obama through a wrench into their gears of power control. The Clintons, Bush's, Kerry's, Gores, etc are all part of the same corrupt political process and Bill makes it more obvious everyday.

Question to the American People:

Does this ad address the real issues that you and the rest of the world are facing?

Another distraction from the real issues.

Bill Clinton better come out STRONG for Obama, if he doesn't his legacy sill suffer!

Bill Clinton just needs to sit-down and enjoy his legacy - he is trying to inject himself into this race - and for what?!

I used to love the man, but this race is not about him.

Clinton was just saying that there is plenty of blame to go around, which there is. However, much of the blame has to go to the go-go, greed is good, privatize everything, regulate nothing atmosphere that has been permeating Washington going back to Reagan. Much of that deregulation and market centric philosophy was appropriate. A bunch of it went too far and some of it went way too far.

To say that the primary force behind that movement, especially its excesses, was not Republican/Conservative would be a total denial of reality.... and John McCain's fingerprints are all over it!

Have you noticed that McCain has morphed from being "Ronald Reagan" to "Teddy Roosevelt"? Guess he is trying to distance himself from the deregulation crowd. Is there an honest bone in his entire body?

Oh good, maybe now Clinton will start supporting Obama.

Wake Up America. I'm calling on all citizens of the world who want peace and prosperity. Rise up and join our movement for change. We must make an indisputable statement this election. Help elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden our next President and Vice President. Even if you cannot vote, let your voices be heard. We must rise up as one nation under God and rebuke John McCain.

BILL YOU ARE NO LONGER RESPECTED IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY

The McCain camp just can't tell the whole truth.

Will do and say anything to win. McNasty has lost his integrity and he is no longer a Maverick.

The NEW democrats are unsophisticated and crude. They are vitriolic and ugly- even towards fellow democrats.

ASK the Clintons and all their supporters.

The vocal NEW democrats never cared enough to bother to vote before.

Now they demonstrate that they do not understand democracy- they think they can just scream and demand and threaten Obama into office.

President Clinton do what you want and have to do. Surely you understand why the maverick used you.

I will SUSPEND my campaign………… for three minutes.

Mr. McCain you are truly OUT TO LUNCH…

Bill Clinton gets it! The DNC has been taken over by far Left-Wing Communists. THEY just don't get it! He would never be the Democrat nominee if he were running today.

He's trying to save the Democrat Party from the left wing loons who will destroy it and this country!

McCain/Palin: For the Future of America!

All of my respect for the Clintons has gone out of the door.

Amazing that he will do anything to win the presidency. Wonder if he ever ask Clinton permission to be use like that in this ad?

Wow! And this after President Clinton was so graciously praising him all this time. This man has NO boundaries. He wants to win and he will clean up any messes he makes later.

What a creep!

The Facts: During his time in the senate, McCain has been a champion of government deregulation

Checkout ACORN. Connections to Obama and moreover huge advocates of allowing people with inadequate resources to obtain loans for purchasing housing.

Bill is trying to repair his own legacy. He doesn't want the blame of this put on him. He did sign a major mortgage de-regulation bill as president and also started the de-regulation of medicaid. The republicans were trying to put the blame on him so he needed to try to spin the whole thing in true Repub fashion to quail their attacks.
I understand but I wish that he would stop the madness!

To Republican bloggers pretending to be Clinton supporters:

Just like your leaders, spin whatever you can........

so much for truth.

The world sees right through your facade.

You people still trying to play the PUMA card are priceless. we know that was primarily a Republican outift and that 99.99 of you are faker Republicans. Give it up. The games are NOT working this election. Kind of frustrating for you, isn't it? Seeing as how you don't have a candidate who can win on the issues.....again......

When you have to stoop thta low to get an add you really need to think about why are you still running.

Can we send Obama's NEW democrats- the people who never cared enough to vote before- back to NOT voting?

They are clearly all 12 year olds- vitriolic and hateful- know nothing about anything with loud opinions on everything.

Bill Clinton – with friends like that, who needs a proctologist?

Palin doesn't have anything to even compare to Bill Clinton..She likes alot of know how to even be a vice President. And McCain is a poor excuse for a president.

Is anybody else tired of the NEGATIVE, DIVISIVE, ANGRY, HATEFUL, messages coming from the McCain camp? Don't we DESERVE a President who brings up together?

Smart americans known that Obama doesn't have a clue.
The DEMS educate him and write his speeches and he is very good at preaching.
All the Obama supporters would change to McCain if they would just do some research on Obama on where he came from, what his background is and who was his teachers.
Don't listen to the Media they are only going to tell you the story the DEMS want you to know.
TRUST ME ONCE YOU LOOK INTO OBAMA YOU WILL THANK ME FOR SHOWING YOU THE LIGHT.

LOOKUP OBAMAS FAMILY. HIS MOTHER IS A WHITE AMERICAN ATHEIST FROM KANSAS. HIS FATHER WAS A BLACK AFRICAN MUSLIM FROM KENYA.
HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MUSLIM AND MOVED TO JAKARTA WHERE HE WAS ENROLLED IN MUSLIM SCHOOL.

HE WORKED AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO.
HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.

HE BELONGS FOR OVER 20 YEARS TO AN AFRO-CENTRIC CHURCH IN CHICAGO THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS FAULTS.

HE COVERS UP THE PASTOR OF HIS CHURCH AND HIS TRUE BELIEVES.

DEEP INSIDE OBAMA IS HOPING THAT HE CAN FOOL ENOUGH AMERICANS AND HE HOPES THAT WE CANNOT PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER.

NOW TELL ME OBAMA SUPPORTERS IS THIS THE MAN YOU WANT TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.
PLEASE CNN PLEASE POST TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!!!

PLEASE WAKE UP AND GET EDUCATED.

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY TRUST OBAMA JUST KNOWING A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT I HAVE TAUGHT YOU.

PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THESE TOPICS DON'T BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!

I AM NOT MAKING THIS INFORMATION UP.

PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the words of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, "The (Democratic) chickens are coming home to roost."

PRESIDENT Clinton is right, this mess all began during his term thanks to the Dems in congress who wouldn't get behind him.

12 members of Rep. Barney Franks (D) Banking Committee DID NOT vote for the bailout.

95 Dems DID NOT vote for the bailout just to keep Obama's numbers in the polls on the upswing. (This truth will spill eventually. Some greedy Dem will take the bribe to spill the beans..)

Here is the deal. McCain is dropping in the polls like a stone and he is freaking out. He sees that his desparation and choices have started to take a toll on his chances so he is now at the point of throwing out anything to see what sticks.

Keep in mind that McCain is not tech smart so he forgets that everything he says is on video at YouTube or somewhere else that is easily accessable. It speaks to the fact that he is out of touch in so many ways that actually makes him and Palin dangerous for this country.

Gee, congrats to McCain - he succeeded in doing exactly what he wanted to do with this commercial - get the heat off of himself and onto someone ANYONE else. And you guys fell for it. Nice.

HEY BILL, CAN YOU GUESS NOW WHY HILLARY WAS SELECTED AS A RUNNING MATE?

YOU IDIOT! YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT YOUR TRAP.

Bill Clinton is a smart man and he knows more than Obama's followers know about him. He is trying to warn you about Obama, but the kool-aid kids and the AA's refuse to heed the warning.

bill needs to shut his hole

Once again, the blame game from McCain. More distractions from the same old good ol-boys network known as the Republican Party. Let's stop the blaming and roll up our sleeves, John, and get to work resolving this crisis which is bound to get far worse that just your average protest!

Well I guess Bill Clinton got what he wanted, to be a star in a mccain
campaign ad.

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa – Looking for a Supreme Court Job ? are Bill ?

we need barack, now! impeach bush! vote for obama. no more corporate lobbyists and special interests! no more gifts for wall street , without something for the folks who work for a living!

Don't be silly. I'm voting for Obama, but you can't deny Clinton is just being honest and is, mostly correct. He knows very well that nobody voting for Obama would vote for Hillary in '12 at this point because of the PUMA nonsense and her extremely lukewarm support. She's truly done, so I think he's just saying what he believes. The truly disgusting part isn't that he said it...it's how the McCain campaign misuses it.

DEMS love to give money to people who can not pay it back.

This was a bipartisan failure.

Bill and Hill tell the truth.

Obama spins divisive lies. He just lies with finesse.

Palin tells the truth- but tells it badly.

Welcome to "Plan B".

"Loans soared. Then, the bubble burst. And, taxpayers are on the hook for billions. Bill Clinton knows who is responsible,"

Given the fact there is a pretty good chance his BS is not going to play well and get him in office, McCain gets extra mileage out of this one.

This the first negative ad of the 2012 election and aimed directly at Hillary Clinton.

In the words of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, "The (Democratic) chickens are coming home to roost."

PRESIDENT Clinton is right, this mess all began during his term thanks to the Dems in congress who wouldn't get behind him.

12 members of Rep. Barney Franks (D) Banking Committee DID NOT vote for the bailout.

95 Dems DID NOT vote for the bailout just to keep Obama's numbers in the polls on the upswing. (This truth will spill eventually. Some greedy Dem will take the bribe to spill the beans..)

Congrats, dems. Thanks to your Community Reinvestment Act and the likes of ACORN, you have ruined the entire world's financial system, and now people are suffering as a result. I hope you're happy living in those houses that you didn't pay for.

Yeah, Bill Clinton's comments will really play well with the conservative base. They admire him so.

You know thats why barack did not choose hillary. Its better to lose a race with dignity and pride than get pushed around and i respect OBAMA to the fullest!

deep down inside the CLINTONS ARE HATERS!
Bill will probably vote McCain come November because he believes the the "real black"president will reign supreme.

I knew it, just another bitter clinton!

More mis-truths (lies) by McCain.

Yall see why Obama didn't pick Hiliary. It is the Bill factor. He just won't go away. He is like a roach. You spray a can of Raid in one area to get him but he always pops up in another one. Hey PUMA, this is to let you know that Obama is doing pretty darn good with cha.

Bill, oh Bill. Why do you keep on disappointing? Honestly, what is your motive. If your intention is for Hillary to run in 2012, well, remember Obama supporters will not forget what you have done in the past year. You and Hillary have lost my support.

I supported Bill Clinton, defended him when Monica happened saying it was between him and Hilary to work out. I voted for Hilary in the primary. But the way they have acted I don't think I could support them again.

Latest Palin Gaffe: Can't Name Supreme Court Case Other Than Roe V. Wade.

In a not yet aired Couric interview, when asked about other notable supreme court cases, Palin couldn't cite any, she just remained silent. Pitiful!

Bill

Be carefull out there it's gettin' dicey. But it doesn't matter what Bill says or doesn't say the poll are spreading in BO's favor and people are starting already mail their ballots in. This time next week I will have said all I'm going to say to McFailin' with my ballot.
Don't sleep on GA being a BLUE state.

Wow is the GOP falling in love with Bill. Didn't look like love when Bill was in office. GOP and its loyalists a bunch of hypocrites!

Awake a sleeping giant, John McShame, and you will pay.

McCain is trailing in the polls so he goes out and gets the Republicans number one enemy BILL CLINTON to be in one of his ads? Didn't the Repubs try to have Clinton IMPEACHED when he was in office? This campaign just gets crazier and crazier every week. Next I guess Hillary will be in an ad for Palin..

Exactly when are we going to stop pitting party against party and start working towards bettering our country as a whole?!
This is just getting a bit ridiculous ...

Hillary might be preparing to run as a Republican in 2012

Obama's strongest and most destructive opponents continue to be Bill and Hillary. Obama has to defeat the Clintons and McCain on November 4, and keep a close eye on the Clintons for the next eight years.

McCain IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN COUNTRY FIRST – YOU NEED TO DROP SARAH PALIN. WHY IS IT THAT SEVERAL REPUBLICIAN OFFICIALS ARE NOW CALLING FOR SARAH PALIN TO STEP DOWN IN ORDER TO SAVE THE CAMPAIGN.

Until recently, the Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran. HERE YOU MORONS. THEY ARE FINDING PLACES YOUR CANIDATE OBAMA IS GETTING DONATIONS FROM. SEEMS LIKE THE TERROIST ARE FUNDING HIM LIKE THEY PUT HIM THROUGH HARVARD YOU LOST MINDED NAIVE HATING SUPPORTERS. AMERICA BETTER WATCH THEIR STEP AND START WORRING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE COUNTRY. MCCAIN/PALIN COUNTRY FIRST

Time to pay the piper for the trashing of Hillary Clinton.

The Obama thugs subverted the democratic process and installed a puppet nominee.

Dirty democratic politics.

Bill Clinton obviously doesn't want Obama to get elected. Period.

That is what Bill gets.

Bill would rather see a republican in the White House if that democrat's last name is not Clinton.

Who can you trust. Clinton for you or against you......Money, greed and back stabbing, Go Obama, you have so much against you.....but I have your back and you have my vote

Time to pay the piper for the trashing of Hillary Clinton.

Dirty democratic politics.

SO, McCain calls Palin the next Clinton, then ran a ad blaming Clinton for the crisis....smart

I voted for Hillary on qualifications and on the issues.

Why did you Obamabots vote for Obama?

Pay the piper

Finally!!! Everyone tries to blame this on Bush but this has nothing to do with Bush. He caused a lot of other problems and did a lot of stupid things, but I'm sorry Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank et al, this one is on you!

Bill Clinton, the next Karl Rove

@Dems are stuck in the fix they rigged...get some help, please

Oh me gosh...not my Bill. Now I feel like I've been stabbed in the back.

Gooooo Obama '08
you can do it without the Clintons

Bring back the BEST candidate for the challenges of our time.

Hillary was swiftboated by her own party thanks to a sleazy Obama and a blind/biased/silent media campaigning for obama.

As far as Bill Clinton goes and his comments...this will add only fuel to Bill's stomping for him next week! He will be so made at McCain for exaggerating his comments....oh I can't wait for the response to this one.

Yeah, and the Republicans have always had the highest regard for Bill's integrity and honesty yeah? So why did they try to impeach him for lying under oath?
John McCain Country last

What's that ole saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"! Barack watch your back.

I think McCain has made a huge mistake by using Bill Clinton's comments to use against Obama.... I think will we see Bill coming out Wednesday in Florida bashing McCain! The fight has only just begun!

Nice to know McCain is still lying after a few weeks of laying low. Finally the public is getting it, after Palin'stan-gate, cheesesteak-gate, Couric-gate and the rest of the running scandals from the McCain camp, lying is still his solution for getting out of messes.

What ever make you feel good McCain...............More distractions from Thursday Night's VP debate? Will you be there to hold Sarah's hand?
Will you be in there to LIP SYNC the answers to her?

This is GOING TO BE A JOKE>>>>>>
GIDGET TAKEN ON WASHINGTON.

Bill Clinton has done it all...now he needs to step down and go to Hawaii or something....no, that's still too close...he needs to go to Ghana to become the 1st black president there....whoops that position is already taken. Well...he just needs to go~~!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never thought it is possible, but based on how McCain/Palin campaign is handling the economic disaster, it is clear that they will govern even worse than Bush/Cheney!!!

Republicans in the Congress know very well – they will loose even more seats to Democrats in November election than in 2006!! But before they leave, they will slam the door as loud as they can... They had more than a week to negotiate the bailout deal – they failed! Did you hear any new ideas from them? – no!! Their economic policies put us all into this mess and now they are not helping to get us all out!!

Clinton? Does he really know what he's talking about?

Remember the finger? And, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

Is he really believable about anything?

I say NOT.

I see McCain hasn't learned that he won't win this election by being sleazy. Ah, he'll learn his lesson on November 4th... McCain would not be a president I'd want my kids to look up to. Disgrace.

Please Bill, go home. If you want to campaign for Hillary to run for president in 2012, please wait until 2011. Reality check, she lost the 2008 nomination. Let it go.

Bill Clinton is first and foremost thinking about himself and of course next to that about Hillary. His entire effort in the past two weeks has been to position himself as above the 'fray' of this or other election, say just enough that will prevent him from being roasted by his own party. I just think these kinds of peopel are truly dangerous because they back it up with charm and truth- acting.

The less we have to deal with these kinds of folks the better off we will be. Any Jew will see his fakeness when he campaigns for Barack Obama later on this week.

I love Bill- he is the best.

Hillary is EVEN smarter and will be our next GREAT president.

Obama will always be the week installee. The people will not buy the candidate that was forced down their throats.

Obama divided his own party and created an intra-party war against Hillary Clinton. Smart move.

why is everyone in a frenzy about Pres. Clinton's commnets. he is being incredible gracious in helping drive the message that something needs to be done. Sen. McCain is instead trying to use it for political leverage since his campaign is sinking fast. All of you that want Pres. Clinto to kiss the feet of Sen. Obama need to stop it. he has endorsed him, he has spoken highly of him, but I don't remember Paul Tsongas singing Bill Clinto's praises when he ran against Bush I, I don't remember Jimmy Carter going out of his way to help Bill Clinton out either. so chill. Sen. obama has some momentum; these ads are a ploit byt the McCain Campiang to be relevant. let them die off into the sunset of Alaska they came from and appreciate we have a former president that is willing to stand up and talk to the American people about the root of these very real problems.

Clinton likes Palin...have you all forgotten he's a skirt chaser? He want's McCain in so he can buddy up to Palin in Washington which he couldn't do if she's back in A L A S K A !

McInsane....you are so desperate!!! You are notorious for telling the half truth (if you are truthful at all). Quite trying to blame others for the outcomes of your (and your party's) policies supporting deregulation.

On the bailout...as a Democrat, I am against bailing out these coporate millionaires. If Bush is soo adament about spending 700 billion dollars of the taxpayers money, then he should use it to bailout the victims of predectory lending. NO, I'm not talking about those who got greedy and drew equity on their homes. I'm talking about the ones who were lied to and were given partial information. The money needs to be used for programs to help people regain their 401k and other savings that were lost in the collapse, as well as the small businesses who may have to lay off people due to the credit crunch. This may sound a little bit TOO liberal but this is OUR money. And our money should be used to help us, not these CEO's. The trickle-down effect has NEVER happened before, so what makes you think that it will happen now.

Please, someone needs to put a muzzle on this guy and his overblown ego!!! He is still pouting because they lost and they are not being courted as the next couple in the White House! It is so obvious he is angry and envious. He is not able to be a true team player in support of Obama because he is a spoiled immature ego-maniac loser!!! How appropriate that "Bill Clinton is the star of the new McCain ad" they are both old politics, overblown, out of touch and need to be out of politics for good!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!

The republicans are so two faced it is not funny. Obama has not laid blame on anyone at this time. He has kept his campaign respectable and honest. The republicans are so dirty and underhanded in their advertising that I truly do not want these sleazy people running the government of "my" country. McCain has sure become the leader of dirty politics. If this man wins the presidency, America will truly become the laughing stock of the rest of the world. It will be the start of the demise of this nation, and the precursor to our own civil war.

IN CASE BILL CLINTON OR HIS PEOPLE ARE READING THESE BLOGS, LET ME POST A *****WARNING******

BE CAREFUL BILL, YOU WIFE'S FUTURE MAY DEPEND ON WHAT YOU SAY OR DO NOT SAY.

When did Bill Clinton say this? I listened to his interviews and I didn't hear him say his party was at fault even though its true. Barney Frank ran Fanny into the ground.

The DNC just doesn't get it.

Playing dirty is not liked by most Americans.

Bill, stay home. You have made your mark.

Thanks Bill. I hope you are happy now?!

Bill is proving to be as helpful to Obama as we was to Hillary. Does he even want the Democrats to win?

John McCain..............You had better hold off on mailing that "Change of Address" form. Sarah Palin..........You can stop googleing "Home for Un-Wed Teens" in Washington DC.

this is stupid

And Bill Clinton touts himself as an expert politician. In what universe?

What more can Bill do to try and sink Obama's chances? He forgets, Obama did nothing to him – or Hillary, other than run for office, which is Obama's right as a citizen.

It was the 18 million+ votes Obama received that Bill should be angry with, not Obama.

Bill Clinton is understandably jealous and bitter that Barack Obama will be in the Oval Office and not Hillary.

But McCain's twisting Bill Clinton's words in a commercial might just cause Bill to finally show enthusiasm for Obama's campaign for change.

By the way, Bill Clinton didn't really get involved that much in the 2004 election- he just did a handful of appearances for Kerry and never really spoke out forcefully against Bush. So don't read too much into his lack of involvement this year.

Is it me or is Clinton still smarting (known in my parts as hating) from the Obama avalanche caving in Hillary's dreams? Some of his comments have been bizarre such as calling McCain "a great man" but denying the same to Obama, saying the Democrats should get some of the blame for the economic debacle (just who side is he on). I think it would be best served for Bill to stick to doing nothing – his nova has lost its luster and it is over for him and his clan for the time being. Have nothing against Hillary for if she was running, she would have my vote but the point of the matter is that she lost. Doing the husbandly thing (protect) at this time in the election is not the way. Going along with McCain on suspending his election for the economic bill was crazy for it was a political ploy that even Stevie Wonder could see not done in good faith. What was he thinking? Climate change – a worthy cause indeed – takes a backseat to the economy at this time because no money means nothing, including handling environmental issues, can get done.

All Bill is doing is adding fuel to McCain's match fire for come November 4th, his goose is cooked. But the question is why Bill why?

McCain is getting desperate once again since Obama is leading by 8 points.

I can't believe this man....McCain needs to stop....exploiting the former President's words of wisdom. McCain can do nothing more than to attack Barack with negativity. I think he is pathetic.

I have lost a lot of respect for the clintons....never had any for GOP, but its sad cause I used to really look up to bill...

He should have used the one where Clinton could not say that Barack Obama is a great man.

I love it ! There are many layers to this whole dynamic and the simple truth is, the Clintons both have deep respect for, and confidence in, John McCain. Tey have worked with him for years.
And the Clintons naturally believe Hilary would have been a better choice to lead the Democrats. She had experience, as does McCain. (Personally, I think even Palin is quicker on her feet than Obama. )

That's OK. Let's distort the truth to adjust it to the reality we want to project.

Great job McLame, in taking the high road in your campaign. Time for the old folks home, where you can get your meds on a regular basis.

Just say NO to Bush 44 and Caribou Barbie.

Go Obama/Biden!!!

isnt Obama running for president?

Blame enough for all.

Dems are being partisan.

I love BILL and Hillary will be our next great president.

The next 4 years? It is Obama who recklessly gambled with the race card bet.

back to smear politics as usual...blame everybody else, but myself mcshame.

I am no longer surprised at this candidate. First he talks about the hypocrisy of Bill Clinton and how America needs to return to the "values" in which the country was founded. Then he makes him the star of a new television advertisement.

At what point will the American electorate realize the “true values” of this candidate? At what point will the citizens of our country realize this man is not a “maverick” or candidate of change? What needs to happen for the United States to open her eyes to the ill of this campaign?

The reek of desperation from the McCain campaign grows ever stronger.

Wait for Billys wrath on this one McCain. You won't like it.

Clinton needs to be put back in his hole. Its obvious he doesn't like Obama, and the feeling may be mutual. While I believe Obama has great respect for Hillary, I don't think its true for her husband. With Obama's deep envy and respect for women, and Bill's history with them, I could see how respect might be in question. Bill is bitter. His legacy is threatened by someone who has received even more attention than he did. It's obvious to everyone. If Bill isn't even going to try, he should just sit this out, and let Hillary do the campaigning.

Dems in congress are corrupt. Nancy Pelosi wanted 20% of the profts from the bailout to go straight back to ACORN. Acorn is being investigated for voter fraud, registering fake names and addresses. Obama was an acorn community organizer and trainer.

Stop being sheep to Obama, do some research and you will see this man is a typical corrupt politician who will have a lot of backhand deals to pay back if he (god forbid) becomes president.

Why does everyone want to use Bill Clinton. Could it be that he was one of the best Presidents this country has ever had. He is not going to bash McCain, Palin or anyone else, but he has made it very
clear he is campaigning for OBAMA. He has also said Obama is
going to win.

Ok, so Bill has lost the last ounce of respect I have for him. I really did like the man, I used to think he was one of the best president in "my" life time so far. I guess he got old and senile...it's a shame.

Bill Clinton said he admired John McCain for what he has done to
open relations with Vietnam and bring the POWs home.

What they are not saying is that Clinton disagrees with his stance on the economy, healthcare, education and many foreign policy issues.

MCCAIN DOES NOT HAVE GOOD JUDGEMENT AND SELECTING PALIN AS VP SHOWS HE MADE A POOR CHOICE.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN !

in the 90's clinton gave sub prime rates to people on welfare, food stamps, with no collateral. how did they think people could make payments? bush inherited this elephant from the democrats. bush should have taken action sooner, but there is plenty of bipartisan blame to go around. nancy pelosi should step down, her partisan speech, before the vote, show's what a fool she is. she needed the republicans, and she dissed them, newt gingrich would never be so dumb as to do that.

President Clinton needs to be very careful on his choice of words, so that the desparate McSame camp doesn't used his words as soundbites. Looking forward to witnessing Biden afflict some rear spanking to erratic clueless Sarah Pa_Liar

Since when is it better to have a candidate with a cute personality who can throw a good zinger (written by a speech writer) better then having the best, smartest candidate this country can provide?

Exactly. That is Obama's problem as well as Palin.

Pray tell- Why DID the democrats install Obama and swiftboat the EVER more qualified Hillary Clinton?

Why are the new democrats so okay with sexism, bigotry, filth, vulgarity, rudeness, insults, denigrations, vileness and cheating to win?

Bill Clinton... the democratic gift that keeps on giving.

Regarding Obama's suggestion to raise the FDIC insurance amount to $250,000. That's the threshold he used for people paying less taxes too. So $250K is the logical amount.

I saw a story on the news the other night, about a woman in Nevada that lost $20,000 because she had $120,000 of her life savings in a bank that went bankrupt. Obama's proposal will save all of it, not just the first $100,000.

serves him right. He and Hilary have patronized Mccain–they all know what baggage they have and now its used against them.

When you speak for the truth, that truth will set you free. Sorry Bill, but you need to be clean! DOn't mess with the Republicans thinking they are your "friend"

The Clintons seems to support McCain again and again with double talk.

More examples of why Clinton is not needed on the campaign trail for Obama to become President. Obama can do this on his own, we do not need Bill. Bill is trying to get Hillary elected in 2012 – that is painfully obvious. No more Clintons...

Well, Bill Clinton is at it again. How you can promote a man who in public called your daughter "ugly" is beyond me. What kind of a parent would support a man who said such a thing about their child? Bill Clinton was successful in ruining his wife's campaign and now is out to sabotage Obama's. He is just upset the party is coming together so he wants to play the spoiler. I am so glad this man will NEVER be a prominent figure again.

Go away Bill Clinton.

Whatever McCain –

You have already dug your hole too deep – [correction . . . finally] >

Nothing you do or say will be strong enough to pull-you-out-of-your-own hole you have put yourself in – That is what you get for playing dirty politics.

Get over it, Bill. Your wife will never be President. The Clinton era is over.

oh..... so NOW.... reublicans care about what Bill has to say....

The deregulator himself making this claim? Maybe the readers should pull up the bill in question and educate themselves as to the real reason the Dems voted down the bill... What a McTool...

DOUBLE YAWN

Exactly. That is how Obama got here. Why not Palin?

gee who didn't see this coming?

This man is a joke. Still bitter. Obama has done well without him. This is the same man who betrayed Hillary and was almost impeached.
America hasn't forgotten that.

It's not even close to working, Mr. McCain. Your credibility is zero. Two weeks ago as the meltdown started, you stated that the economy is "fundamentally sound." You were wrong. Last week, you "suspended" your campaign to "rush back to Washington to help forge a deal." You neither suspended your campaign, nor did you rush back to Washington. The deal that was forged was completed before you got there (maybe you shouldn't have stopped to talk to Katie Couric). Then you tried to take credit for helping get the deal done. Then it failed. Then, despite chaos in Washington, you said you felt "enough progress has been made" that you could attend the debate. You lost the debate. You then accused Obama of "phoning it in". Even though you did not return to Washington, and kept track of negotiations on the second deal ON THE PHONE. The second deal was agreed to yesterday morning in principle. You immediately took credit for helping with the deal. The deal failed. You blamed it in the Democrats, even though it was the Republicans who threw childish temper tantrums and voted "No" on the final deal because of Pelosi's speech. Now, in your on-going twists of logic, you're trying to make it sound like Clinton is on your side. Today, you actually had the complete lack of touch with reality to try to equate Palin with Clinton and Reagan. Obviously, Mr. McCain, you are not only NOT presidential, you have completely lost your mind. You and Palin are the worst things to happen to the Republican Party since Nixon and his crew. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself.

Whatever McCain –

You have already dug your hole too deap

Wonder what Bill thinks now?

How come the rest of the comments Bill made was not included in the ad. The repugs know it's nearing the end and they need everything including creating a wedge between democrats which did not work and will not work. We democrats admire and have a ton of respect for Bill. This is a new era and all this hate will not work. We are past that.

No surprise here! The Clintons have much in common with the Bush's don't be fooled.

McCain is obviouslt scrambling for anything and everything he can to throw at Obama becasue he's got nothing else left but to rip him apart!

Is this the kind of character you want in a President?- McCain is showing his angry, vivious side... Is this the President you want dealing with foreign leaders? Has he shown any good judgment? – he's chosen Palin, He's supported the war for the wrong reasons and he has no expperience with the economy as he himself admitted!

Mccain/Palin- Go away- you're far too deep to get yourself out of this one even with an ad using clinton.

This really irks me...

McCain's whole fight so far has been based on what the Clintons have said this election...why does this surprise anyone? The only thing I am surprised about so far is that McSame didn't pick Hillary as his VP.

Zero respect for Clinton, he wants to keep building his legacy... well, he's doing it and it's not pretty.

Bam-bam is nothing more than a socialist community organizer and Bill Clinton know it.

Obama stays on top of the news and the blogs so he can come out with the perfect statement after each event.
This man is a liar and says everything that voters want to hear. He will do nothing for this country.

Chris Dodd,Nancy Nit,Harry Reid,John Kerry and obama need to be shot for treason.

you almost have to feel sorry for the McCain camp....the level of desperation and his erratic behavior, stooping to lies and any desperate attempt to discredit Obama...McCain is like a train crash.

WOW!!! is all i have to say

McCain... Can you say anything worth anything about ISSUES... without always dragging around baggage?? Do you have any ideas on any issues that are truely your own and voice those??

All I ever see is bashing.

I think Bill's narcissism makes him subconciously sabotage both Hillary and Obama (maybe he wants to see a Democrat President top him)?

You know it's gotten pretty desperate when McCain and his campaign are getting behind Bill Clinton to save his candidacy!

Oh thank you! Thank you CNN, for letting us know which of slick Willy's comments didn't make it into the add. You are so noble! Now, do the same for Obama and Biden's comments and I might lose the sarcasm.

Obama is in over his head, but still talks a good talk. Unfortunately we need action not talk.

Now is not the time for a far left socialist, McCain is much closer to the presidency of Bill Clinton than Barak Obama is. All Conservatives and moderates, along with a great number of logical fair Democrats would all be against Barak Obama if they only took the time to study his record and come to terms with what he truly wants for America. This is no time to play around, study the facts and resist the substance free feel good Obama-lib slogans and media puppetiering.

Thanks, Bill. 'Preciate you.

Bill Clinton = McCain/Palin surrogate.

Obama will defeat all of them in November.

Let's just remember who pushed for loaning money to people who couldn't pay it back. That's the basis for this whole problem and it was not Republicans...

Bill Clinton=PUMA

where is the ad of the keating 5 which led to the bailout of the security and loans? This led to more de-regulation by McCain. McCain was also involved in the keating 5. McCain's economic advisor, Phil Gramm, wrote the bill for de-regulation which McCain supported. In addition, McCain's campaign manager is Rick Davis who lobbied for Fannie and Freddie who supports de-regulations. Rick Davis received money from fannie and freddie until last month when he said he stopped getting money from those companies last January. If you honestly think that McCain will regulate the markets after years of deregulating the markets and has people in his campaign who lobbied for it, then I have a bridge to sell you in Alaska.

Bill Clinton is a traitor to the Democratic party and to this nation.

McCain = blame game politician, not an idea politician

Is McCain for or against regulation/bigger government? Its like he wants both! 1 + 1 = 3

Oh Bill Bill...your a smart man. Watch your step. Its becoming blatantly obvious your running for McCain. If you want to be a Manchurian slimeball then you need to be a bit more discreet. Your fluffy speech for Democratic support has been contradicted ten fold since that fine evening in Denver. Someone please lock this man in a closet somewhere.

Bill or HIllary did not support BO, and they are having hard time knowing BO is not ready to lead this country. Keep up the good work Bill. Pay backs are a son a gun...

republicans – born with selective hearing for douchebagery

I'm shocked! Shocked I am to find that there's blatant lying and distortion going on in a McCain ad.

Where is Claude Raines when we need him?

Bill Clinton seems to think just b/c he gave a 'great' convention speech, democrats are somehow unable to see that he just is NOT supporting Barrack. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would hold it against a democratic ex-president when he undermines support for a democratic presidential nominee...and yes, I'd hold it against another Clinton running for office in future. Too bad Bill is too arrogant to see he ends up hurting his wife's chances even if Obama looses.

McCain is really grasping at straws here.

McCain does it again....he will regret using Bill Clinton against Obama.

Now Clinton will make clear his choice for Obama, and will not be forgiving to McCain.

Who are John McCains campaign advisors? He has just finished his political career.

Say goodnight Mr.McCain................goodnight.

Reminds me of that old saw: "With friends like that, who needs enemies?" Bill has been lukewarm in his support of Obama and has issued some real back-handed compliments. Maybe Barack should have asked him to stay home and keep quiet.
BTW – of course the Republicans didn't use the entire quote. That wouldn't have sent the message they want to send. Context has never been relevant in political contests.

But the fundamentals of the economy are sound?

And since the world in still in a financial crisis due a majority of the House Republicans voting against Bush's bailout plan……

why isn't McCain suspending his campaign again to do whatever is necessary to solve this crisis?

Because he has just learned that it is just as effective to participate by phone and attend Congress when required!!!

Bill, once again u put your foot in your mouth.you are such a hypocrite,u say u helping Obama win the white house and you blame your own party for the failing of the bailout.your not a true democrat.

Obama/Biden 2008!!!

So, no one cares about Mr. Lewinsky anymore.

Another New Ad..... How many new ads McMoron runs each day???? Just Attack.......No substances, no solutions from this Fool....

Of course, everyone is to blame. Special interests prove that out.

What seems to be missing is how the Republicans (ie. Gramm) started this ball rolling and how their policies under Bush have put us where we are.

Remember the 2006 election? Bush was crowing about his policies giving us "record home ownership". Problem was, no one owned their house, they just got deeper and deeper in when they signed the papers. Now his policies have put us where we are.

Can you say PATHETIC!!

I can see the moon from my house! And that makes me an expert on space travel!

Obama created an intra-party civil war with his vitriolic and unfounded attacks on HRC.

It was NOT funny.

Time to pay the piper for the filth, the vulgarity, the lies, the cheating, the lawsuits, the strong-arming, the threats, the shutting down freedom of speech.

Bill Clinton is getting on my last nerves! Can someone please put the new surrogate for McGrumpy to bed!

Clinton needs to realize that his actions cost his wife the democratic nomination and they will now end her hopes of ever becoming the POTUS!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

Bill, next time you open your mouth think about this –
The Republicans (yes, McCain's party) are blaming YOU for this economic meltdown. That it all stem from your administration.
Next, think about how your statements would be mis used (I certainly hope mis used).

So now tell us if you still think McCain is a great man. He is showing his true self more and more each day. Even compared Palin to you.

McLame once again telling half truths'. Does he realize that there are fact check websites? How dumb does he think people are? Being dishonest is what will cost him this eletion. Plus he just doesn't stand a chance.

This is BS...just shut up Bill. Seriously, Obama does not need you or your support. You are a double headed snake and I have lost my respect for you.

There you go!
What else were you expecting from the McCain campaign?

Bill Clinton is the one to blame, he doesn't seem to understand that if Obama doesn't win, it is the end of the Democratic Party. Even Hillary seems to get that better. Clinton should show a little more maturity and act as a leader, instead of a sore loser.

I am confident Obama will win with or without help. Let's not forget that Obama campaign against both him and his wife, and still managed to win. So he better align and stop trying to hinder this upcoming victory.

I am very disappointed in Bill Clinton. I used to love him so much.

The Rep have had plenty of time to fix whatever needed fixing, eight years and McCain has been there twenty plus years. GIVE ME A BREAK AND THE REST OF US ALSO.

PLEASE CNN Do a fact check on this one!!!! and see what youcome up with!!! we the american voters rely on you all to uncover all the lies from both parties!!

that'll teach ya Bill ...maybe you need to praise McCain and Palin a little more

I hope that Hillary is making all this negative pub Bill is garnering for Sen. Obama worth his while. Guess that the Clinton Global Initiative isn't keeping Bill busy enoug doing good...he has to mess up something, somewhere...who better than his own party.

Thanks Bill...

/sarcasm

Shame on you, Bill Clinton!

Y A W N

Anyone who has LISTENED to what Bill Clinton has been consistantly saying knows this is total BULL.
He has stated many times that there have been failures on BOTH sides of the isle but that Senator Obama is the clear choice of both he and Mrs Clinton to lead this country forward.

More of the same half truths and lies from a shakey at best party and campaign.

Shame on you John McCain.

McCain, lame with no game. Lowdown and evil; what America does not need. He is becoming a senile idiot.

OBAMA 08

The democrats lost the GE when they rigged their primary so Obama would be the eventual nominee.

Palin has to do nothing at all. We all watched the WORTHY HRC be unfairly gutted by hate and trashed in filthy and foul ways. We all witnessed the insults and sexist denigration of a great FEMALE leader.

So we won't allow the lesser Palin to suffer the same fate.
It is about human decency and respect vs winning by any means possible. Attack on issues- not personal attacks.

Dems never should have sabotaged Hillary just to install their glorious Obama.

They doomed their own party by subverting the democratic process.

Sad but true.

Has nothing to do with race or gender- other than the fact that the female candidate who was the BEST candidate of a lifetime was treated with disrespect and was mocked and jeered and insulted and swiftboated by her own party because she was NOT young, black and male.

With friends like Bill...

Bill and his mouth is the reason I didn't vote for Hillary. He hurt her chances and now he is hurting Barack's. Bill, just go away. Take McCain and Bush with you!

Way to go Bill! He had to know his comments would be used. Just who is he for, besides himself? I used to be such a fan of his.

the clintons do not want barack hussein obama to win.....if he wins, it would screw hillary out of a run in 2012...........freaking duh

I knew it McCain with one his dirty tricks and I think Clinton is getting paid underneath the table Clinton keep McCain and Palin out of your mouth because you are trying to hurt Obama and Hillary run in 2016 I will not vote for her because of you Bill Clinton

McShame just doesn't know when to quit. Why doesn't he concede already?

That's what happens you show support for a liar Bill. McDeregulation can't run from the fact that he is a part of the problem. Same old Policies that got us into this mess.

Clinton needs to shut his fat trap and go back to screwing women. He was less of a danger when he was falandering. He didn't do Hiallary any good in the campaign and now he isn't doing Obama any good either.

The RNC just doesnt get it.....................
