(Bill) Clinton praises Obama's greenhouse policy, sort of

MIAMI (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton offered faint praise for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's energy policy on Sunday, saying he preferred it to that of Republican rival John McCain.

"I think we'll get better national policy next year," Clinton told the U.S. Conference of Mayors in a speech centered on improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gases.

It was the former president's first public appearance since his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, ended her presidential campaign on June 7, after Obama emerged as the Democratic candidate in the November election.

But her husband has not publicly endorsed the presumptive Democratic nominee to succeed President George W. Bush. Asked by journalists when he might do so, Clinton smiled and shook hands with spectators without acknowledging he heard the question.

"Clinton smiled and shook hands with spectators without acknowledging he heard the question."

Really? Unless there's a strategic reason behind this behavior that supports a win for us in November, I've got to say, "Bill, thanks for nothing."

Like when he...

Bill will endorse Obama, just as Hillary did, when the time is right. What other choice does he have?

He is still wanting the spotlight, which, no doubt in his mind, is very very important. NOT. He needs to humble himself, realize he is just an ex-president whose time has come and gone, whose behaviour during his wife's campaign was atrocious and a sledge hammer to the values most sincere and patriotic Americans think are important. He is another has been, at this point. I do not feel sorry for him and his 100 million dollars in the bank. Do something for the poor and the suffering, Bill, as if you can consider them at all, over your corporate connections and get rid of that notion that what you say, is still important. You, and your wife, are also rans. Finished.
