Terry McAuliffe tells CNN that Obama asked Hillary on Friday if he could call Bill. Hillary responded "Absolutley!" McAuliffe said that the two would be speaking shortly but he made it clear that the attention should be on Hillary because she is the political leader in the family now. Okay, but didn't Bill run the country for eight years?
It's being reported through a link on HuffPo that the President has said to his friends that Obama must "kiss his ass" for his support. Apparently, the former Pres is upset about his tarnished reputation in the African American community. This is due to some of the things that he said on the campaign trail this year. It's been reported that he believes Obama's campaign is responsible for fanning the flames and allowing his comments to be interpreted as racist. Oh, and apparently, Bill doesn't think Obama can win.
It's always about Bill, isn't it. I think he needs Obama to help him repair his reputation more than Obama needs him on the campaign trail. Bill has foot in mouth syndrome and he could hurt more than he could help. Obama doesn't even need him to help raise money. I say they do one joint event, then send the former Pres overseas until November 5th.
