Obama Calls President Bill Clinton
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller and Sarah Amos Report: Amid reports of tension between Sen. Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton, the Obama campaign announced Monday the presumptive Democratic nominee called Bill Clinton at 11amET this morning from Kansas City, Missouri while enroute to his event in Independence, Mo.
This is the first time Obama has spoken to the former president since winning the Democratic Party’s nomination.
The former president was in New York, where he has an office in Harlem and a home in Chappaqua, NY. They spoke for 20 minutes. Obama asked the former president to campaign with him and for him. The Obama campaign said Bill Clinton told Obama he is excited about that prospect.
"Senator Obama had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign," said Obama spokesperson Bill Burton.
"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."
The former president’s office was just as effusive about the call today.
"President Clinton had a very good conversation with Sen. Obama today. He renewed his offer to do whatever he can to ensure Sen. Obama is our next President," said Bill Clinton spokesperson Matt McKenna.
"President Clinton continues to be impressed by Sen. 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."
Over the weekend, Terry McAuliffe, former Democratic National Committee chair and a former national co-chair to Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, said the former president would speak to Obama within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Reports have swirled for weeks about tensions between Bill Clinton and the presumptive Democratic nominee. Reigniting speculation about their relationship, Clinton’s office last week released a one-sentence statement from spokesman Matt McKenna that was dubbed "tepid" by many members of the punditry and media.
During the campaign, Bill Clinton appeared to directly attack his wife’s rival, telling PBS’ Charlie Rose before the Iowa caucuses that voting for Obama is "a roll of the dice." He also said the Obama campaign "played the race card on me" after he likened Obama’s South Carolina win to Jesse Jackson’s in the 1980s, and publicly said Obama’s opposition to the Iraq war was "a big fairy tale."

Gee, a few months ago Obama and his supporters were race baiting and trying to convince us all that Bill Clinton was a racist.
You will all remember that right before the SC primary (where 50% of the electorate happened to be African American) they distorted the meaning of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s words to imply racial insensitivity.
This, despite the fact that both Clintons have a well documented record of advancing and supporting civil rights (hence the 90% approval rating that Bill Clinton had amongst African Americans).
But now Obama is praising Bill Clinton? The fact that Obama, his campaign and his supporters played the ugly game of race to trash Bill Clinton is the main reason that Obama will NEVER get my vote. And I have voted (and volunteered for ) every democratic presidential candidate since Michael Dukakis.

Wonderful….
The empty vessel calls the man he called a racist.
Obama will be lucky if Clinton campaigns for him. Sooner or later voters will be gin to realize there’s really nothing there other than ambition and arrogance and the numbers will be a lot closer than they are now.

Mitt Romney said it best in the following excerpt:
Obama — Media Darling
Despite the flip-flops, the media have largely given Obama a pass.
“It is a remarkable feature of the mainstream media, to watch for instance how they magnified every aspect of Hillary Clinton’s weaknesses during the primary, and how soft was the touch on Barack Obama,” Romney says. “I think there’s a desire on the part of many in the mainstream media to recreate the Camelot years of John F. Kennedy. And there’s a hope that Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and their young children can be like the Kennedys of old. And so we will have the rose-colored glasses probably throughout the campaign.”
****I think the media, the Obama supporters and even Obama himself thinks he is a modern day JFK. I think it would be better to compare Obama to Jimmy Carter….thier candidacies are parallel to each other as well as their thinking. We don’t need 4 more years of Jimmy Carter!******

Bill, don’t let the press run you away. Obama gets along with everyone. You are a genious when it comes to politics. When you left office, the country was in good shape. The Republicans messed it up. Help Obama win, so he can restore what you did.

Obama has no integrity. He now praises Bill Clinton after bashing him in the primaries. Just like he did Hillary, Obama will resort to new lows to try to win the election. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He flip-flops all over the place. He does have the media in his back pocket….to them, he can do no wrong. However, he will come to the sharp realization that first Tuesday in November when John McCain will be elected into the White House. Sorry Obama, and Obamabots….America wants their President to have integrity, something Obama has yet to find.

Oh that’s right Jim. Obama didn’t call Bill a racist, he sent his goons onto the Sunday gab fests to do it for him as usual. Don’t want to sully the robes.

“I think we know the real Barack Obama by virtue of what he’s done over the last 20 years,” Romney says. “He says he doesn’t agree with the most extreme things said by Reverend Wright. I’ll take him at his word. But I still wonder why he selected that minister as his religious mentor. His positions on Iraq and the comments he’s made during the primary campaign — for instance, his statement that he’ll visit the world’s worst dictators without condition in his first year — these tell you about who the real Barack Obama is.”

“Barack Obama is appealing to the audience he thinks he needs to win,” Romney says. “Particularly during the primary, he appealed to the far left of his party, and with time you will watch him slowly but surely change his stripes and try and appeal more to the center and pretend he’s something he’s not.”
Already, Obama is re-branding himself

A message to “ch”. Ignorance such as yours is the one reason why this country is in the current state that it finds itself. Not only is your statement completely incorrect, but you GROSSLY distort the truth simply to attempt to make a point, to which you have none. Sure, never mind that Obama is actually putting forth plans to restore this country’s health and prosperity. You’ve decided, in a not so veiled attack, that you won’t vote for him simply because of his race. How completely foolish of you and those that think like you. I’m glad there are enough educated and reasonable Americans out there that’ll put Obama in the Presidential office in November.
The fact is, for whatever reason, Bill Clinton did indeed play dirty tricks. And he did so using race to cater to the most ignorant of Americans. He has a lot to make up for to restore, if possible, his legacy. Campaigning for Obama would be a start.

Nancy, Ch and mPCT get your facts straight, Sen Obama and his senior advisors never called Bill Clinton a racist. The media applied that label to Bill Clinton. I personally think its great that former Pres Clinton and Sen Obama talked and a united Dem Party will be a powerful force in the GE. Sen McCain is a major flopper and he will say anything and I mean anything to get elected. He’s out of touch, and the only thing he offers is another 4 years of George Bush and company. Eight years of George Bush and stench is sickening, throw him and McCain out with the trash…

I give Bill Clinton a lot of credit for this. Obama slammed him bigtime during the campaign, lumping Clinton in with Bush. Remember those “bitter” working class folk kept falling through the Clinton and Bush years. Obama had to reach back to Reagan for a president “who changed the trajectory of the nation”. And to top it off, his surrogates made out that Bill Clinton, who has arguably done more to lift the black community than any other American political leader, was a racist. During the campaign, Obama rejected the Clinton legacy flatout. Now he needs it and Bill Clinton is being gracious and doing what he needs to do to elect a Dem president.

Talking with Pre-Cindition is different from talking without Pre-Condition.
Saint Obama said he will meet without pre-condition.
Bush is winning this North Korean Issue becuse there are pre-conditions to give just aid, not to meet him.

Frankly, I am just sick of all the Democrats and I am a Democrat. They are all in it for power and money. Obama needs the Clinton’s voters and their intellegence to compensate for his lack of experience and smarts regarding running this country. Likewise, the Clinton’s need him to accomplish what they set out to achieve as Hillary as President not to mention that she needs his cash support to cover her debts. But you know its all about “me.” Are they really for “us”?

Penney Lewis – When a person has multiple broken bones and lands in a lake it’s hard to run and hard to fight. McCain’s honor was gained when he gave up the chance to go home but chose to stay thus denying the enemy the chance at a propaganda opportunity. When McCain cheated on his wife that waited for him to come homebut didn’t look as good anymore, and finally married the trophy trollop (McCain’s word, not mine) he lost all honor.

The only person who can solve our racial problems is one who is both Black and White, and has lived in both worlds and knows what the fears and needs are in each group. McCain only knows White. The President has to be the leaders of all of the people, not just wealthy, Protestant, Republican men. He is out of touch. His time has passed.

McCain is not going is loosing ground big time. In my small town in Florida a very republican strong hold over 550 volunteers came to support Borack. I was amazed!!! Most of the volunteers are reblicans now supporting Borac. I am sorry as republican myself I will not vote for a third term Bush. McCain remind me of John Kerry,,,Boring!!!

I can see Obama and Hillary making up and unifying and that is right and proper. And I can see that Obama needs Bill Clinton but for Obama to now say:
“Bill Clinton is one of this nation’s great leaders and most brilliant minds” does make me sick to my stomach. If I were Bill Clinton I think I’d say:
“FU kid. You ignore and criticize my legacy. You insinuate I’m a racist when I fought for you to be where you are now! You lump me in with moron Bush and then you come round. First, you win 2 terms, you create 20 million new jobs, you preside over 8 years of peace and prosperity… then come and let’s talk. We’ll see if the only glove the GOP can lay on you is some personal indiscretion. Best of luck freshman Senator Obama.”

Obama threw the eight Clinton years under the bus during the primaries and now he’s asking for help? Please! The only way I’d vote for the snake-oil salesman is if Bill and Hillary both called me personally and begged. Even then I probably wouldn’t be convinced. Obama is so desperate to grab the reins of this country, he’ll do anything….lie…cheat….steal delegates. These kids who change their names and do whatever Barack asks of them are as inexperienced as he is. Anyone who would take Rev Wright and Father Pflegler seriously or even listen to their rants for one minute should not Captain the ship of State….Obama has not one ounce of practical leadership experience. He doesn’t deserve to talk to Bill Clinton for a second after his lies about him…even accusing him of racism, when Barack, himself, went to a racist church. These fools with their HOPE bumper stickers and signs should change them to HELP! Our country needs help after that farce of a primary. Next time Obama calls Bill he should get a busy signal.

November 4th will tell the tale of all those americans that don’t bother with Polls and Blogging, there are hard working americans that no one calls and poll and there are many including the elderly that don’t blog or go onto the computer ever, they hardly have time to sit and watch the news, they knwo what they know form the newspapers and from the sunday morning talk shows if that. America will be in for a big shock come November 4th when they realize that all these polls and all these blogs don’t have their hands on the pulse of the american people and what they are feeling. Obama will lose so badly it will make your heads spin, I see the pundits and the newscasters faces now the same way they looked when Hillary won New Hampshire shock and Awe. And to those people who continue to say that Hillary Supporters are bitter and were never true Democrats. I guarantee you they are probably A: Young and first time voters, B: Just jumped on the Democratic bandwagon this year or C: Are independents or Repbulicans. I have been a Democrat and have voted the Democratic ticket straight for the past 22 years and now at age 40 for the first time in my life I will sit it out or vote for McCain. It’s the principal, the same thing that I saw in Obama back in November, December, January are the same things I see now even worse, I have not changed my opinion of him and I will not and I cannot in good concience vote for him and it pains me as an African American with an African American Son to not be able to whole heartedly endorse this man, but he is not the one, he is arrogant,with a Thug Mentallity and he has managed to pimp the Whites and the Blacks into thinking that he is about change, but his record does not back it up. I took the time to do the research and to do side by side comparisons on the issues and to research the things that were said on both sides, and each and everytime, Obama came out weak.November 4th will tell the true story. Bill Clinton you and Hillary do not owe this pimp anything, both your records show your hard work and committment to the people of America and to the black community who has foolishly turned their backs on you, but that’s my folks, you can sell them anything and they continue to fall for anything.

I served honorable in the military, and I can’t believe I fought for an ahole like you.
I’d like to dump your fat butt behind enemy lines and then see what you have for intestinal fortitude. I’m sure you couldn’t hack it. And it’s a shame we have to fight to protect such as you, because you are not worth fighting for.

“You people” are cracking me up! I read these posts for laughs! when President Obama takes the oath of office, and America regains her integrity, what will you people harp on then? And by the way, President Barack Hussein Obama, what of it? Shame on him for not having a more American name, such as, let me think…Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, David Duke-I am proud of Barack Hussein Obama and if people have a problem with his name, race and wife, GET OVER IT! He is our next president!!

agree 100% I think that the media think we republicans are racist. We need to show them that we will join Borack Obama and send a strong message that we are a nation of tolorance and every one deserves a chance. We need to show the world that we all are united. I am very impressed with Borack. As a republican I too will vote for Him.

Just another politician like the Rev. Wright said. They are all a like, only to serve the almighty dollar for themselves. Sure he is going to campaign for Obama, if it gets Hillary back her 23 million.
You have to wonder if this wasn’t the script from the beginning. How much longer are people going to allow themselves to be duped? The Clintons selling themselves to the highest bidder, how noble.
Obamas campaign has become a prostitutes dream come true, where people beg to be on your list but, only if there is something in it for them.
I am waiting to see the story where Obama sells his soul to become president. He will stoop to the very lowest or say anything to get your vote and that has now become very obvious.
Just forget all the bad exchange of words between the two and “fall in line” like a good party should.

I am tired of Barack Obama, he alway uses Bill and Hillary for helping him. Why not he does by himself. I will not vote Obama . Did you hear about patriotism what Obama speech in Independence ,Mo I want our America flag stand up, not let Obama control, Maybe in someday he will make peoples to put Muslim flags? Do you like that? Attention Mich and Fla , don`t let Obama use your brain. I can`t believe Bill and Hillary support Obama, that is stupid!!! Obama`s campgain told world that Bill`s racist because they know Obama will lose his vote that why they told world peoples about racist, but now they need him so badly, Sounds stupid. Hopefully Obama will lose his vote in November. I know Obama will be same as Jimmy Carter as stink!
One thing it bother me , when Obama was a young boy, he moved to live in Hawaii and his grandparents were watching him , Why not move to Kansas. Was Obama trouble in Indosais? Any question? I rather vote Mcain and it is only 4 years , not bad.

I am ashamed of many of my brothers.

McCain is the man and if my brothers would open their eyes they would see Obama as a low down, lying, BSer that he is.

Bill & Hillary Clinton don’t have a choice but to support Obama publicly. Ordinary voters do have that choice, and are free to oppose Obama.
Posted by: Unashamed_Independent | June 30, 2008, 5:51 pm 5:51 pm
Obama supporters threw stones at the Clintons for months, and not only do they want Clinton supporters to forgive and forget, they also want them to vote for Rookie U.S. Senator Obama.
However, I got news of them; that is, Obama is too inexperienced, too far left, and he spent too many years sharing the radical social views of Jeremiah Wright for many Hillary supporters to vote for him.

I have to laugh at you people who say “You are not a “true democrat” if you don’t back Obama. Most of us who have voted for democrats since the 70′s and 80′s know a fool when we see one. That’s why we won’t vote for him.
Posted by: J | June 30, 2008, 6:08 pm 6:08 pm
J, I could not agree with you more, you hit the nail on the head, they have no clue they have to be newbies just jumping on the bandwagon because of Obama, but if they knew anything about politics or what the democratic party really stood for, they would understand why the true Democrats are pissed off. The party has tanked, it turned it’s back on it’s core voters and they will take the hit come November and they will have the nerve to wonder why.

We can’t believe everything we read or hear, so lets step back and make some clear and well thought out decisions on how we have voted in the past so we can do more research and cast the most exciting vote of our life time. Don’t allow some Republican to wrongly invest in our future. As we’ve seen in the past, President Reagan Had no control of the white house for a large part of his final term.

Posted by: kat | June 30, 2008, 6:29 pm 6:29 pm
Hoo boy! Where to begin?
Whcjr46: Obama may not have uttered “racist” in relation to the Clintons, but he allowed it to be used repeatedly for his benefit before primaries in Southern states. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . .
Angie: you said it correctly, Obama played the primary game well. I like hopesprings52′s comments. If I were Bill, I’d tell Obama where he could stick it, especially after the job Obama’s bunch repeatedly did on Hillary. I realize that it’s all politics, but some things just don’t need to be said. Oh, and Angie, there’s no way the GWB was behind 911. He ain’t that smart or that good of an actor.
Brad: Obama needs the Clinton Show to win; the Clinton Show needs Obama to retire an enormous campaign debt.
Anyone who harps on Hussein is just showing his/her ignorant, racist @ss. The man can’t help it that his parents named him that. There are plenty of other things to question, but his name isn’t one of them. You’re fear mongerers, plain and simple.
Fermandothemexican: go home. I’m not really sure about the game you’re playing, but it about as offensive as it gets.
marcus: if there’s any truth to this, both parties would have been all over it like a duck on a june bug.
Carol: post turtle–that’s funny, I don’t care who ya are!
Buck: huh? That post was so unintelligible I couldn’t make any sense out of it.
Nicholas: if you think McCain is less sexist than the Dems, think again. Look at his track record with how he’s treated BOTH his wives. Frankly, that says more to me about his character than anything he’s done as a Senator.

Now that Obama has the nomination, he thinks Bill Clinton is a great “leader”. I remember several times when he intentionally left Bill Clinton’s name out of speeches.

As a democrat I am fully in support of Senator Borack Obama. I just dont see me as a decent women who values my women hood voting for someone who voted agaist Women equal pay. I also value my health. America so desparate needs health care reform and thats a fact. Borack is getting a majority support all across the line. If you vote for McCaim you dont value what America stands for. America has no money lets be realistic. We re fighting a war that now has couse our dignity!!! Thank you BUSH!!!

I am a republican supporting Borack. McCain reminds me of Kerry plain and boring. He just did not connected with us regular folks. McCain looks like a robbot, Hes speech is slow. I am relly starting to belive hes too old for the Job. Even if he pick a yunger VP It wont matter because he will be in the lead. Scary.

Why Obama’s supporters are happy to have Bill Clinton supports Obama?
I remember a few months ago, they all yelled, cursed and posted lots of bad things about Clinton.
They even made a long list about it.
Now, look… what is going on here.

Obama does not need Bill or Hillary support. I don”t trust them anyway.Bill has lost a lot of respect among Democrats as well. I would stay far away from the both of them. There are much better Democrats and after such a negative campaign on the Clintons let them take a vacation.

I won’t vote for Obama because he’s an inexperienced corrupt racist. I won’t vote for McSame. I will proudly write in Hillary Clinton’s name. She would be a truly great POTUS. She’s devoted her life to helping people and making a difference. She is so far superior to Obama, but kids who haven’t lived long enough to have a clue about life made him a hero. I was a Democratic Town Chair for years. I am now a registered Independent. Howard Dean and Obama have ruined the Party. Hopefully they won’t ruin the USA or the World.

Mitt Romney is a big mouth-Good think he lost early-he is definately an arrogant so and so. He thinks he is going to be the VP so he runs his mouth to show MCCAIN he is the one. He is full of himself and he really dsilikes Obama. Who asked him anything anyway. He thought his money could by the nomination and it didn’t -he has no PERSONality .

Let the game begin…Obama needs to try and unite the party now.
By the way the Obama campaign were the worst race baiters in history…I will never vote for him. He did America a disservice by allowing the characterization, as part of the demonize Hillary Clinton strategy, of the Clintons and all their votgers as racists.
They will be working hard to try and paint Obama with the racist brush. Just like they are using the Bush smear tactics regarding McCains war record.
Do America a Favor…Don’t Fall for it this time. Bush Lite is a Democrat named Obama….

Obama is the agent of change alright. He pulled the race card on the Clintons over and over. He called Hillary “untrustworthy”. He devalued Bill Clinton’s Presidency. Now, he must really need them? Or is this just more of the public relations effort to make us think he really is the great unifier? There is a better label–the great double-talker.

I do not think Wesley Clark’s comment was so far out of line. What does being shot down and being a POW have to do with leadership skills – especially since McCain sold out to the enemy after four days for preferential treatment. And then there is today. Today the McCain campaign held a conference call unveiling a new “truth squad” Web site designed to defend McCain from attacks on his military record, such as the one uncorked by Wesley Clark yesterday.
On the call, the McCain camp rolled out a leading surrogate named Bud Day — who was described merely as a fellow POW of McCain — who blasted such attacks. “John was slandered and reviled in the 2000 campaign in a way that denigrated his service enormously…it was absolutely important to face this issue right off the bat.”
But guess what — it turns out that this very same Bud Day was featured in the Swift Boat Vets ads attacking John Kerry in 2004!
To make matters even better, recall that McCain himself condemned the Swift Boat Vets. Yet now the McCain campaign is cheerfully enlisting someone who did what McCain claimed to decry — attacks on Kerry’s credentials — and using him to defend McCain against the same sort of attacks.
And then there is the GI Bill. Friday and today McCain took credit for passage of the bill – a bill he vehemently opposed, did not show up to vote on, but shows no shame taking credit for it. Jim Webb worked his butt off to get that bill passed – the credit is his – not McCain’s.

Well you guy; you see, that is the nature of the game called politics and you all should not be so personal and subjective in your rants.
My only hope is that Bill and Hillary are supporting Senator Obama for all the right reasons: The Party, The Party and winning, winning, winning. Dear God, please let the Clintons’ support of Senator Obama be for the right reasons and I ask you to take charge of all their actions and support.

He the ONE called you Bill, HE called YOU!! The snake slithered up and wants to play nice, have you stopped retching yet Bill? HE needs YOU Bill, tell him to eat swill!
You may have to play in the DNC pit but we the Hillary supporters are not going to, ever.
So Bill do it, become an independent and leave the loser behind. Do not help him, try to hinder, quote the smears every chance you get!

Barry always takes the high road -he is the winner and he is the one calling the Bill -if Bill is cool he should be a REAL man and congratulated the winner- guess not, he only calls the OTHER WOMEN ….wow america wake up!

John, thanks for setting Dekonti straight on pre-conditions. Is he now saying George is doing something about talking with the enemy before meeting? Imagine that!

Even though Obama is politician in basic sense, and flip-flopping in some cases, his main themes – withdrawl from Iraq, Health care, Environmental issue, Education system – will never be changed
That’s what matters….
