Obama speaks with Bill Clinton

From the Obama press office:

Senator Obama had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign. He has always believed that Bill Clinton is one of this nation’s great leaders and most brilliant minds, and looks forward to seeing him on the campaign trail and receiving his counsel in the months to come.

Bill Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna also puts out a statement:

President Clinton had a very good conversation with Senator Obama today. He renewed his offer to do whatever he can to ensure Senator Obama is our next President.

President Clinton continues to be impressed by Senator Obama and the campaign he has run, and looks forward to campaigning for and with him in the months to come. The President believes that Senator Obama has been a great inspiration for millions of people around the country, and he knows that he will bring the change America needs as our next President.

Clinton is bound, of course, to support Obama; to the extent that his support remains news, it probably benefits the Democrats.

"kiss my ass" bullshit story.

God! Love her, but my god since I've started listening again she is STILL re-hashing the damn primary and her leaving Air America.

I am sure that some will not be satisfied with this, but my guess is that they will never be satisfied.

However, in the meantime, a formidable team is being built. If these two can shake hands and agree to work together, I am hopeful that supporters at the grass roota level can do the same.
