Appreciation for Designated Campaigner Bill Clinton

While President Obama remains occupied with ensuring that the Northeast gets the proper storm relief that it deserves from the Federal Government--and let's just say unlike some other Presidents, he's actually doing a "heckuva job"--how lucky is he to have the 42nd President of the United States to fill in for him campaigning in the battleground states.

And when it comes to campaigning, there arguably is no one better than Bill Clinton. And you know he loves every minute of it, too.



We're lucky to have such a valuable resource on hand. Could you imagine the Republicans using George W. Bush as a campaign fill-in? I know I can't.....

Had the opportunity to see him speak at my 2007 college commencement ceremony at U of M, and then Obama spoke at my grad school commencement in 2010! Awesome!

Why isn't RMoney standing up with them for the country? I hate to think what might have happened if this were, say a foreign invasion. Where would RMoney stand then? He should have offered his time and services for the USA, the damn coward.

Thank you President Clinton for helping to save America and democracy in a different way. And thank you President Obama for being someone to count on during an emergency.

I'm sure he'll (Bill) request that PBO campaign just as hard for Hillary in 2016.

....if Hillary does in fact run in 2016.

While the relationship may have gotten off to a somewhat rocky start in 2008 (politics being politics), there's been a clear recognition between the two of a symbiotic relationship.

I know Hillary said she's not running in 2016, but I'd love to see these two back in the white house.

I'm pumped! I live in small town Iowa, and he's stopping here. I hope I get a chance to shake his hand.
