(CNN) - It's 44 and 42, part two.
Former President Bill Clinton will lend President Barack Obama some additional fund-raising star power in early June at the second of three fund-raisers the two agreed to jointly headline, the campaign said in a Monday email to supporters.

Obama's campaign is raffling tickets to the June 4th New York City event in a contest similar to one that brought a low-dollar supporter to a high-price Obama fund-raiser at the home of movie star George Clooney in early May.
The first Obama-Clinton fund-raiser took place in late April at the Virginia home of former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe. The campaign said in early April that the two presidents would hold a series of three fund-raisers together.
Obama and his allies raised $43.6 million in April, the most recent month for which numbers were released. GOP candidate Mitt Romney and his allies brought in $40.1 million that month.

Obama owes Clinton big time.
The two best President's of our time...TY Bill....Obama/Biden 2012!!!!
Mr. Clinton fund-raising won't help Mr. Obama, the Obama legacy of FAILURE is too much to overcome. The voters will be reminded “are you better off now than four years ago” and the answer is NO.
@Tired of republican lies – Clinton one of the best Presidents in history=Yes!!!!!! Obama=absoluterly No!!!!!! There is no way Obama even compares to President Clinton, in Obama's dreams, maybe.
2 the best presidents of this century.
Obama12.
Clinton proves again that Democrats have more money, more powerhouse, more elite than Republicans.
Yep Clinton has to help him out again. He is not going to get the response like in 2008.
How can Obama not get re-elected with influential and rich people on his side like Clinton, Jay-Z, Clooney, Hollywood? Romney has a difficult road ahead of him going up against all these elite people even though Obama is known to be anti-businesses, higher taxes to businesses and has no knowledge of economics. With Clinton on his side Obama can be re-elected.
Two very successful presidents, President Obama and President Clinton. Compare with the American demise from the GOP 8 years in the WH. Romney has no chance and Dart veda Cheney will not help...

Cheney to fund-raise for Romney ,
The voters will be reminded “are you better off now than four years ago” and the answer is yes.
Romney / Bush ,
you've seen us do it before , watch us do it again ?
Clinton was the last Democrat President before Obama and Clinton left Bush a surplus. Bush left Obama 2 unpaid wars, 2008 Wall Street and economic disaster, several bills Bush passed that hadn't been budgeted and no job creation in his 8 years. In other words, Bush left Obama MINUS ZERIO to work with.
