president clinton is one of most sophisticated man in politic, to the day.
I think is a great boost for senator obama and I sincerely hope they can easily have 'that big impact' they need the most.

Welcome aboard, Bill. Henhouse. Meet Fox.

An Obama win means the end of the Clinton's power. I'm sure Billary will ride off into the sunset after vigorously campaigning for Obama. Ri-i-i-ight.

Over/under date on when the Clintons pull the rug out from under Barack? October 10th.

After the MSM's and Obama's hatchet job of Bill Clinton, how authentic would it ever look? After they pretty much called Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton as racists, why should they bother to help him? It's classy of the Clintons to do so, but Obama doesn't deserve their support.

Bill Clinton's words were twisted beyond belief during the primaries. Right now, the MSM would be on their side because he's supporting Obama.

Once again, the Clintons showed class by reaching out to Obama (it was Clinton who invited him over) even when Obama screwed them over with MSM's help.

Yes Clare Wold, the world probably mostly thinks you are. What is even worse for America is there are distinct echoes of Margaret Thatcher in Palin and we watched her destroy two generations.
Be very afraid.

Bill will suck the oxygen out of any venue in which he appears with The One, just as he did at the convention. Obama's mismanagement there cost him the traditional post-convention bump. Can Bill keep his anger in check? Will there be any bimbo eruptions? Will Monica show up in the handshake lines?

Kevin Finnerty, Atlanta, USA

What's astonishing is that after 8 yrs of the worst Pres in history, people will re-elect his clone because of the "hot-babe" in the VP slot.

We truly are the American Idol, TV reality show nation of *dummies* the world thinks we are.

Anyone who thinks Bill Clinton and Obama are BFF's now is naive. Obama accused Bill Clinton of being a racist for political gain. Obama has not apologized and has continued treating both Clintons with disrespect. Bill Clinton has no reason to assist Obama vigorously, and I doubt he will.

won't work. by the way, it is bill clinton's cronies who have saddled
the taxpayers with the fannie mae and freddie mac debacle and enriched
themselves beyond belief. as this story unfolds, bill clinton's fabulosity
may be somewhat diminsihed.

Bill won't put forth 100% effort because he wants McCain to win. A McCain win makes Hillary the de facto dem nominee in 2012. An Obama win means no Hillary run until at least 2016 ... and by then there may be another "contender". Oh no Bill will give only token support!

Go McCain / Palin!

Mark, Slidell, Louisiana, USA

Obama must like living dangerously. If he is elected pres., it would not be in the cards for Hillary to run against an incumbant democrat in '12, unless for some reason he wasn't
able to. Is he sure Bill Clinton wants him to be elected? The Clintons are dangerous people when it comes to power.

Marcella, Ohio, USA

That American voters follow eight years of the worst presidency ever in our history with a cosmetic lipstick-on-pig beauty contest shows how meaningless and trite the current two-party system has become.

I blame the US media.

Nigel Nicholson, Havre de Grace, Maryland, USA

So Bill Clinton is to campaign for Obama.
Let's hope he doesn't make as many gaffs as he did supporting his wife!

“Maybe Bill Clinton can become Barack Obama’s Sarah Palin."

Please, professor, don't insult the guy or anything....

Martin, St Andrews, Scotland

So what exec experience does John "Washington (where I have been a member of Congress for over 20 yrs) is broken" McCain have? He couldn't even manage to fly his plane competently in Vietnam. At least we can be confident that everything would be OK if a President McCain went to meet his maker. NOT.

Seamus, Dublin, Ireland

This once again demonstrates that Barack Obama is very weak and has no experience. To go and have to kiss the ring of Bill Clinton so he can help him shows he is not ready to stand on his own two feet. I'm shocked that people don't see through this no experience stuff suit.
