BO will probably ask his supporters to go to her web site and make a donation. Then he will attend a few big ticket fund raisers where anyone who can afford it and are so inclined can pay to eat lunch or dinner with the two of them. I donated to the Obama campaign twice during the primary and once for the general election. I'm still an Obama supporter. Hillary is OK, but she won't get a penny from me. See, we all have a choice. I suspect they will retire her debt in no time. Just not with my help. @Sam December 1st, 2008 3:0 pm ET

Did you expect him to be standing behind Hillary with his arms around her? *LOL* I am quite sure that both Bill and Hillary are both committed to working with Barack Obama to make this country and the world a better place than it is now! And I think they can.... together with the rest of the Cabinet! And I am quite sure that Bill is well aware that HILLARY has been named SOS, not himself! Bill and Hillary Clinton have been wonderful public servants, and will continue to be so as long as they live. Barack Obama is well qualified to be President. His choice of Cabinet confirms that to my mind! I think the Media needs to cool it a bit.... I don't think I ever heard the Bush/Cheney administration criticized for their judgement or their choices for the Cabinet. It was much more like... Wow... isn't it just hunky-dorry! and COOL! and.... like that! Please, CNN, report what is happening. Stop trying to shape it! Let us know the truth... not your suppositions! We can judge for ourselves. And NOT just CNN... .I notice a certain amount of cynicism from all the media that I find very frustrating and surely did not see in regard to Bush/Cheney even at their worst. Obama is NOT even in office yet. Do you truly anticipate that he is not going to be qualified to do the job? Because that is how you are coming off to this old Indian Texas Teacher. And where would he be, if he was on hand? What what? Did you expect him to be standing behind Hillary with his arms around her? *LOL*

If all were there, then Bill probably should have been there also. If none, then he should not have been. In any case, his presence might tend to over-shadow the event. So maybe it's best he didn't show up. How many of the other spouses were on hand? If all were there, then Bill probably should have been there also. If none, then he should not have been.

He didn't want to see his wife work for Obama, he wanted Obama to work for his wife. He wasn't able to do it for her. And now Obama has forced him to do things he didn't want to do (release his donor list and get his speeches pre-approved... which, I'm sure, will never happen, since he never writes them ahead of time anyway...) If anybody can reign in the Clintons... Obama can. How amazing is that? I find I'm respecting Hillary again... she knows what must be done to repair the damage done by the previous administration, and she's obtained the right position to do it. She's going to be a fantastic Secretary of State, despite her husband. This must be hard for Bill. He didn't want to see his wife work for Obama, he wanted Obama to work for his wife.
