Bill had his 8years and he did a great job, Hilary had her chance and she did well,Bill is supporting his wife just like she stood by him in his crisis. Which should teach us all somthing. We as a people were brought here against our will in slave ships, we had to fight and struggle to get to where we are today. Our people were hung, whipped , attacked by dogs, sprayed with water hoses, we were degrated just to get the right to vote. So here we are today with a qualified, educated black candidate for president of this still somewhat racist country, and it bothers me to know that we have some black people who will not vote for obama. not just because he is black, but because he is just as if not more qualified than the republican candidate. i don’t see how even the republicans can support there own party after that liar George w. lied to the american people to put us into a war looking for WMD’s that they knew did not exsist, not to this day not 1 WMD has been found in Irag. the republicans are responsible for the econmic mess that this country is in today. they sat back and did nothing while oil prices, mortgages and home forclosures, and corperate greed sky rocketed out of control and now they want to step in and save the day…OH PLEASE, to little to late. My point is Black people this is our oppertunity to show that we can come together on something and this something is that once in a life time thing, a historic event that we can all be proud of to say that we helped elect the first black President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. May God Bless us all.

hey NURSEGIRL, Biden has been campaigning very hard. We just don’t see it reported in the news media because they are so captivated by every crazy thing Palin and McCain does. Biden gets no coverage but believe me he’s doing what he needs to do. In regards to Bill, a politician will always be just that. They have ways of manipulating the people to make it seem like they are for one thing when infact it is the complete opposite. I for one can see that he is not enthusiastic about Obama. Chris Rock and Joy Baher along with many others see it also. I’m not condemning Bill cause everyman has a choice to do whatever he wants but he shouldn’t be hypocritical about it. It’s better not to say anything than be acting like that.

I have been praying to the good Lord above that for the sake of his people that He saves this nation. We NEED change!!! and I honestly believe that Obama is here for such a time as this.

As for E.J., u gotta b kidding me. I’m not telling u who u should vote for but but I just need to ask you in the 26 years that McCain has been in the Senate what major contributions has he brought to this country??? Apart from voting with Bush 90% of the time, supporting a triffling war, voting for all the deregulations and being all buddy-buddy with all the lobbyists – (which all contributed to the downfall of the economy ) – what has he done??? What makes him so much more experienced to lead this country than Barack? Age is nothing but a number my friend. And then the dumbest thing of all, McCain went and chose Palin to be his VP. Did u see her interview with Katie Couric? Hillarious is all I can say. If he (McCain) gets the Presidency and should die (God forbids), then don’t ya think its gonna be Palin who’s in charge. And I know u would be lying if u said that she is experienced.

Anyways to each his/her own. Obama got my vote. It would behoove the American people to use some common sense in this election…seriously!!!

I totally agree what the blogger Paul Slansky said. It saddened me to the core to see Bill behaving in this malicious spiteful way, you can tell he is so very bitter…..get over it Bill your girl lost. I TiVo’d the view specifically to see him and I was so outraged by his actions on the show , at both we he did and didn’t say, that I couldn’t watch the entire show. I know Whoppie was sitting three thinking “WTF??” and that kiss a$$ Sherry Sheppard still trying to make Bill feel loved by black women…We are so over him.. It all about OBAMA !!!!!

Do we want EXPERIANCED or do we want INEXPERIANCED? I want someone who KNOWS what they are doing.Not trying to bring more people here for education.This country has enough people.We need to have someone Focused on THIS COUNTRY not OTHERS> WE NEED GOOD LEADERSHIP.

Bet>>>
where is my post?

Now that I think about it, Bil Clinton has not been doing much to help Obama. I believe that now that there is an African American Nominee, minorities will be encouraged to vote. Clinton knows that he had a lot of support from the African American community and he knows that word from him would be sort of like the icing on the cake. Obama has proved his intelligence time and time again. And we don’t even have to speak on the debate at Ole Miss. And E.J. you should probably bgin o state some great accomplishments about cCain. I mean can you? I can’t. OBAMA ‘08

I have been watching MR. Clinton and I’ve listen to his comments on several issues. Mr. Clinton is only voting for Mr. Obama because of his political status. He really wants Mcain to win , so his wife can run against him in four years. I like many other inteligent Americans can see right through Mr. Clinton. I watch him speak on the view and with his comments you could tell he wants Mcain to win. I also saw him on the Today show where he could have defended Mr. Obama but instead he talked around the issue.

for all you that did not see Chris Rock on the Larry King show, where he also said that he has a lot of respect for Bill Clinton and he(Bill Clinton) are very close, and that Bill called him to give congratulation on the birth of his child, and if i had a chose of pissing off my wife or a whole race to bad race your it……

OH BY THE WAY I’M BLACK OF AGE!!!!!!!!

Let all keep a open mind, just because the news has not said alot about Bill and Hillary being on the campion trail does not mean their not helping, the news has been cought up with the brain dead MILF running for vice pres.

WITH OR WITHOUT THE CLINTON’S BARACK WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08
YES WE CAN!!!!!!

I`ll say this again to bill clinton, hillary clinton, jesse jackson, and anybody else that has or had poltical influence, you had your chance on the spot light, now move over, but help elect Obama be president

daedae wrote that Clinton did alot for the blacks and that is true along with the working man, well there is a Black Man running now, but that doesn’t matter! Remember bILL chose to be a Democrat and that he is a former president, his bitter ways are not helping Baracks campaign. He needs to face the facts like Chris Rock said. The better person is the one that the PEOPLE CHOSE. It was not Clinton’s choice. Hillary ran a good race but face it Barack is WHO THE PEOPLE CHOSE TO HAVE IN OFFICE. So to the Clintons get out there and fight, what are you afraid of? You won’t lose your popularity with the people you may gain more popularity and RESPECT. I am so tired of grown folks who act like children who are sore losers. They look ridiculous, they look and act like children and Bill is acting and looking just like McCain did at the debates with no eye contact. DIDN’T YOUR MOTHER TEACH YOU TO LOOK PEOPLE STRAIGHT IN THE EYE. I also know the media is featuring them on the campaign trail, but word does go around personally about how they are not speaking up. I truly, truly hope this gets to the Clinton’s, because if Barack had of lost think how he would be out there campaigning now for Hilary.

if we lose this election, and four years hence here is hillary again. you can definitely forget about the black vote, and probably a lot of white votes. do you want this country to go further in the toilet because you are pissed off because you did not get to be president and first husband? maybe if you had kept your pants zipped gore would be in office instead of this mess we have now. in case you do not know what mess i am talking about is bush.

the thing is that both Bill and Hilary hoped that one day a black person would be in such position as Obama is today but the never thought it would happen so soon or better yet they never thought that they’ll be going against him and loose.

I agree with Mr. Slansky’s assessment. Ummmmmmmmm, I recall that Barack won the primaries without the help of Bill or Hillary. Those who are going to vote for Barack will do so; and those who won’t, had no intentions of voting for him in the first place. What is for Barack is for Barack and no one can take it away. I now who I am voting for (Obama). Let us all walk the talk. Don’t just give lip service, make sure you all get out and vote. I voted early. God bless you all!

I’m really sick and tired of all the idiots out there blaming Bill Clinton for Obama and Gore’s and heck even Kerry’s weak candidacy. Why should all this be on his back. If they don’t have the savy and know how why blame the Clinton’s. Obama’s weak because of Biden, Gore was weak because of Liberman and look what side he is on know after the Democrats turned there backs on him. Look at where Edwards is now. If Barak would have used some political savy and put Hillary on his ticket like she would have done him it would have been an unstopable force. Hell if it we’re my wife i’d have animosity also. I was a life long Democrat and have switched to Independant. Wake up Black People.

this blog is a bunch of crap, I am a huge Obama fan and I want him to win the presidency but every candidate has to win on their own, it is not Clinton’s responsiblity to get Barack elected, it is Barack’s and ours. why would we expect clinton to give barack much help or like him, if someone had just beaten your spouse would you become their best friend, heck no you wouldn’t so why try to be fake. If we want barack to win then we have to convience our friends and neighbors why he is the best candidate for us. and get away from stupid crap like this which will allow those folks who supported hillary to continue to have good reasons not to support barack, you have to be gracious in winning and we need to understand we need their help to make this happen, critizing bill clinton does not help, it will only hurt barack in the end so please stop this nonsense.

We have to stay stong we can’t let little things like this make us fall off track. Lets not pick out whats wrong, lets look at whats right. We have to stay united, they may not show it, but I think they are tired of this Republican bull crap too. We need to take back the White House and we need to do it together.

It may a blessing in disguise that the Clintons are being silent. Senator Obama has a voice that speaks substance about the crucial issues we face and that makes you listen. If it was Hiliary on the ticket, sorry I would not cast a vote – guess I would have went independent. The Haters never thought in a millions years this ‘BLACK” inexpereince man would wonw beating her out in the race. Ok, we have had experience people in there for years- Look what it got us. War, No jobs, no health care for millions. Don’t fret over the Clintons,
YES WE CAN; and YES WE WIL

I agree with much of what has been said here as well as with the blogger who wrote this piece. I saw Bill on the CBS Early Show and wanted to reach through the TV and slap him. One thing about this election that I have noticed since the primaries is that it has brought out the petty childishness in a lot of our lawmakers like never before. It is so noticeable and the sad part is they think we’re too stupid to notice or care.

I respect and admire Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Senator
Hilary Rodham Clinton. I too supported Hilary for president and I am sorry
that she didn’t get the nomination. All of that is over and done with just the
same. As for the unfortunate episode that happened with Pres.Clinton and
the other women, while he was in the White House alluding to that because you do not feel that President Clinton is campaigning enough for Senator Obama for your liking is mean spirited and inappropiate. Forget about it I am sure you are not perfect! The campaigning that went on between the two candidates was very intense a lot of hurtful things were said by all. A fight like that takes a lot out of a person and I would not expect too much out of him or Hilary as a result. The Clinton’s are party loyalist and had said that they both support. Senator Obama that’s good enough!!!
