President Clinton to hit campaign trail for Obama

NEW YORK (AP) - Barack Obama revealed Wednesday that former President Clinton, once the presidential nominee's nemesis, will campaign for him during the weeks leading up to Election Day.
"There's nobody smarter in politics," Obama said on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman," scheduled to air Wednesday night. "And he is going to be campaigning for us over the next eight weeks, which I'm thrilled by."
The two were scheduled to have lunch Thursday at Clinton's office in New York. Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the former president would campaign for Obama at a yet-to-be announced site in Florida on Sept. 29, with plans for more fundraising and events in the works.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton already has been hitting the trail for Obama.
During the Democratic presidential primary, the former president acted as his wife's chief defender from Obama's successful challenge to her candidacy, which strained relations between him and Obama. Clinton portrayed Obama as too inexperienced for a presidential run, and Obama said sometimes it was hard to tell which Clinton he was running against.
The two didn't speak for nearly a month after the campaign ended, but their silence ended when Obama called and the former president offered to do whatever he could to help Obama win.

I’m sure B Hussein Obama feels great about this, given Clinton’s record of electing Dem candidates since leaving office. This coupled with his bone-head veep nominee makes the ticket a shoe-in.

That’s it, it’s over folks. Whenever Bubba campaigns for a candidate, that candidate is sure to lose.

Yep.
This is the definition of desperation.
Things are pretty bad when you have to ask the “Stainer in Chief” to campaign for you.

It just depends on what your definition of "LIKE" is. If it includes biting, raping, and fondling - he's your man!

Now there is the kiss of death. Pack it in Bambi...you are done. Isn’t it unusual for a ex-president to be campaigning for another candidate? Don’t remember any republican past presidents doing that. Could be wrong.

Larry hinted that Barry’s may not be “traditionally” sized, or has some other unique qualities. In other words, it may not be “twue”.

President Clinton to hit campaign trail for ObamaNot exactly correct. Should be "President Clinton to hit the campaign trail to pick up chicks and jump start Hillary's 2012 Presidential run".
