Bill Clinton's time is over... he was good in the 90's but things are much different now... no thanks to Bush. We need a different Democract in the White House this time.

Democrat or Republican, behind closed doors both are the same. The only difference is the rhetoric they spew in public to get votes.

We don't need a different Democrat in the white house. We need a whole different political system. This engine can't be fixed, it needs to be overhauled.

You get busy writing up the new social contract for the USA.

But please, do take time on Nov 4 to put in a vote for Obama.

Seems like everybody is beating dead horse with Democratic women to vote or not vote for Barack Obama...Ba­rack Obama has already 53% of these women on his side and more will come when they realize who John McCain is...calli­ng his own wife (c word), refusing equal payment between men and women and so on....I am nearly positive that these 120 anti-Obama pages are work of some Republican swift boat group....b­ecause anytime some McCain surrogates come to MSM then you can hear how these so called disfranchised women are going to vote for him....I bet only these women who never were Democrats are going to vote Republican­...indepen­dent and real Democrats vote Barack Obama.

Unfortunately, I suppose that Bill Clinton's huge ego is something Barack Obama is going to have to deal with. But Barack is very good at this kind of thing, so I figure he'll find a way to "make nice" to Bill that won't compromise him (Obama) too much in the eyes of Clinton haters.

If it were me, I'd offer Bill a high cabinet post, like Secretary of State, a job in which I think he'd actually be great. And for Hillary, the first SCOTUS vacancy would be ideal. On the Supreme Court, Hillary would have a lifetime job and be out of Obama's hair.

Secretary of State would be a huge ego stroke for Bill. He's generally well liked abroad, has the gift of gab, and it could be a great springboard to cement the Clinton legacy if he can pull off a couple of foreign policy coups, like a meaningful Middle East peace treaty. And if Bill gets out of line, Obama can always dump his ass.

If Obama picked Hillary as his running mate, Bill would be in his face for his entire term. It would be an awful match. You can't fire the husband of your vice president if he sasses you too many times.

My thoughts too mikey...I think Bill Clinton needs a high position. He is smart and he is able to converse with people different than himself. He is articulate and he "has been there".. I think he has gotten things done..Sec. of State might not be a bad idea. HRC too..but I am not sure about the supreme court. Tho she would be a darned sight better than at least four that are on there now. She would be on a steep learning curve though.

The most staunchest and hard-working Democrat is Bill Clinton. When Obama was running for Senator, Bill Clinton came to Illinois to help him win that seat. When Claire McCaskill needed Bill Clinton to help her win her seat, Bill Clinton came at a crucial time. He did the same with Ted Kennedy. Please don't disrepect Bill Clinton because this man did what he could to help them get elected and look how they all turned on the Clintons. How do you know what Barack is good at? He has the second most missed votes in the Senate. Has not had held a meeting in the committee that he chairs? He spent most of his time in the Senate running for President. If anything, I would call him a man with a huge ego.

"Passing of the torch."


Love that, Arianna.
