Barack Obama wants Bill to heal Hillary Clinton wounds
An assassination remark is the latest twist to sour relations between the two rivals

May 25, 2008

Senior officials on Obama’s campaign believe Bill Clinton has the unique status and political gifts to reunite the party after such gaffes. They expressed confidence that the former president would rise above the perceived slights and grudges of a hard-fought campaign and work flat out for an Obama victory in November’s presidential election.

....

"He’s brilliant, he has got heart and he cares deeply about the country. It’s tricky because of his position as Hillary’s spouse, but his involvement is very important to us.

"Bill Clinton will give permission to Hillary supporters to come into our camp and become one party. He is critical to this effort."

In a sign that the two camps are drawing together, Al Gore, the former vice-president and winner of the Nobel peace prize, is hosting a fundraiser for the Democratic party on May 31, co-chaired by Orin Kramer, a prominent Obama fundraiser, and Maureen White, one of Clinton’s top financial backers.

they always know more than we do.

Anyway, yes, I hope that it is a unifying experience and not there with an underlying resentment on either side. Oh, I forgot, no more sides. I hope so.

edit* this statement:
"Bill Clinton will give permission to Hillary supporters to come into our camp and become one party. He is critical to this effort."

So, does this mean that the Clintons may be admitting to the writing on the wall?? Interesting.

:thumbsup:

it could get messy

:applause:

sorry but I can't believe this isn't bigger news. Bigger than who is leaving the forum anyway.

part of the wise party elder spreading unity - he's perfect for the job.

Is that to pay off HRC's debts?

As soon as Hillary gets the debts payed off...She will be back to business. :scared:

Her debt is just too large at this point, but if she stops wasting her donors money - it will help.

:shrug:
