Come on Bill. Grow up and help Barack win this race. What? Do you want McCain in the White House? Be a good Dem and support the ticket!
Cry baby! Get him a pacifier!
Give it up Bill, join the paryty or just keep quite.
Don't need him. I liked Bill Clinton, but ever since Mrs. Clinton lost the nomination, they have been sulking. Get up, get over it and help the party if you really care like you said you did.
HE KNOW A BULL WHEN HE SEES IT
Good for Bill. He has other things to do besides sit at Obama's feet.
He doesn't owe him anything. It's up to Obama to win. He has no one to blame but himself.
What else is new I just can't believe Bill would still act like a little boy man grow up! People are going to totally for get you
Well, I can't say that I blame Bill Clinton. I've been watching these conventions since 1976, when my grandmother worked on President Ford's re-election campaign. I voted for Clinton twice, and then Gore.
Always, Always before this Democratic convention, past presidents were honored for their respect for their position, whether President Ford, Regan, Bush the first, or Carter.
I went to a high school that had a make-up of 48% Caucasian, 52 % African American, Mexican, Latino, Japanese, and Chinese.
I would rather have Colin Powell or Denzel Washington running. They seem to understand how to honor the position, no matter what hard feelings.
Where has our society gone in two decades that this treatment is allowed to happen to a past president who had one of the presence of mind to appoint an amazing economics team while in the Oval Office?
I am not surprised
No matter how small you want to put the Clintons you cannot avoid the fact that they have labored hard and long years for the DNC party. With what happened in the Primary elections to determine the candidate to run for president of the party, Obama must treat Hillary Clinton with more respect after all she got 18 million votes.
He accused her of voting for the war and been an insider to washington, he then asked Biden to be his VP who voted for the war and has been in washington longer than Hillary.
The Clintons are upset after all it was Hillary's time and the respect that they are now getting Obama should pay for it.
Bill stay home!
julio u don't call him selfish. He was a former president what ever happened to respect in this country.
The Ol' Man must have his reasons.
Obama/ Biden 08
Whatever, so what? He doesn't need to attend it right away. He will listen to it later. Thanks to you CNN, since you not much to talk about you, you will run it on air again, again, again, again, and again. Even my mom will listen to it from her grave.
Maybe he has a date.
How can Bill Clinton say that he loves the country while he behaves like that. In the end, obviously not all Americans are as rich as he is, so therefore they need someone who is in their corner to help them with their issues. This year, that is Barack Obama, end of story because he is the nominee. Now unless Bill is going to turn Republican, he needs to suck it up for the millions of Americans that need a voice.
Typical.
Is this really newsworthy?
This guy who I once admired has sunk to a level which is border line disgusting. I actually feel sorry for him.
Clinton = =|||
Selfish!
Well Bill even though you do not like what happen you should still show up because it supports your wife regardless...I am upset too but we need to pull together as a unify party regardless...so Bill should be there
grow up Bill, sorry i share your first name
Why would he???
That's why Hillary will have no chance in 2016. Clinton, PUMA's, we will never forget.
Obama / Biden '08
Keep it up libs, President McCain is fast approaching
THAT IS THE BEST THING I HAVE HEARD ABOUT BILL CLINTON IN MONTHS!
How dare he, with so much on the line, why not check you pride at the door and do whats in the best interest of Democratic Party.....
