- AtHomeBoy2000, on 07/17/2008, -37/+68no thank you. Please stay home.
- sdcarter, on 07/18/2008, -3/+6I'm inclined to agree. Bubba slammed Obama after Hillary lost. Obama will be the better man and accept his aid; but you can't flip-flop like Kerry and expect that to fly.
- DooM, on 07/18/2008, -1/+7Bill hurt Hillary more than he helped - I think the real issue is he'd probably hurt Obama even more.
- worldgate, on 07/18/2008, -2/+4As opposed to the flip-flopping that mccain is doing right? McCain is full of gimmicks that he knows will never get passed by congress... gas tax holliday my ass. Oh lets take all the money from the states for roads and highways and give it to the oil companies because they are sure to drop the prices. The price will stay the same and oil companies will makes 40-60 cents more per gallon.
- cdbeshore, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1makes me think of that old SNL skit "Run, Liberal, Run". Obama should run...
- jaymzdean, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4Aw, c'MAWN!
Give him an intern position.

- sleepyjjk, on 07/17/2008, -21/+83I understand that many people on digg do not like the Clintons now after the long primary battle, but the truth is - the Clintons can be a worthy asset and they still have a lot of political power in Washington and have a lot of power with the voters.
I for one welcome all the help and support that Obama can get until the election - I want a democrat in the White House again.- PabloMac, on 07/18/2008, -3/+7Yes, many of us are hoping Bill and Hillary Clinton will help Obama's campaign.
- btschul, on 07/18/2008, -14/+4http://clintonmemoriallibrary.com/clintbodycnt.htm ...
The Clintons are ***** scary. Cross them, and you "commit suicide" with a silenced 9mm to the back of the head. - Testiculese, on 07/18/2008, -9/+8Clintons are whores. They'll only do it to increase their own power. I don't want them anywhere NEAR the white house.
- Lythium, on 07/18/2008, -1/+4Elections are wars, and wars can be unpleasant. If your options are to ally with someone you find personally despicable or to increase your likelihood of losing, well.... It boils down to whether or not your personal feelings are worth more to you than victory.
The issue here isn't that cut-and-dry, however; the Clintons deeply and personally offend so many people that they may be more of a hindrance than an asset to Obama's cause. Or they may be exactly what his campaign needs to get the marginal votes - I simply don't have enough experience to determine, and I won't pretend otherwise.
I would say that accepting or rejecting the Clintons' assistance should be based not on whether or not they're "good people" (they're not, imo) but solely on whether or not they can help Obama to oust the Republicans from the White House (they might). That's realpolitik for you - like it or not, that's just how today's politics work. - Testiculese, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1I definitely don't like it, and that's why I'm not a politician. Frigging disgusting to have to live that way.

- bonds, on 07/18/2008, -3/+7I didn't like them before the long primary battle.
- Vinceres, on 07/18/2008, -1/+0Hooray theatrics!
- r3negadeX, on 08/11/2008, -3/+1"I want a democrat in the White House again."
Many of Obama's stances are very neo-conservative. If you want an actual democrat, I'd look elsewhere.
- chubbybubba, on 07/18/2008, -19/+13"Life is funny, one moment you work for the bitch the next moment you are the bitch." - slick willy
- Kr0nyk, on 07/18/2008, -12/+36Hmmmm. After all the things he said about Obama prior to the nomination I think it would be unwise to even let Bill Clinton do anything in his campaign.
- koft, on 07/18/2008, -2/+12Nah, the public has a 5 second attention span. All the ***** talking has been forgotten by now.
- PabloMac, on 07/18/2008, -0/+9That depends on what your definition of "has" is.
- Bladwor, on 07/18/2008, -0/+5What ***** talking?
- humperdeath, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Of course he changed his mind, now he sees all the better looking women that Obama will have around him.
- RobotBuddha, on 07/18/2008, -0/+7I love that about elections. We're supposed to trust their honesty when every election they spend months talking ***** about someone, say the nation will explode if said individual was elected, and then once public opinion is in they start backing the former enemy.
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -0/+4Remember that Saturday Night Live skit about Bush back in 2000?
- koft, on 07/18/2008, -2/+12Nah, the public has a 5 second attention span. All the ***** talking has been forgotten by now.
- lunatux, on 07/18/2008, -15/+8This is great news Bill will be a real asset to the Obama campaign.
- wonderlandpr, on 07/18/2008, -8/+5Is this a nudge so that some of the fundraising in June can help Hillary (and Bill) pay off the campaign debt? Could be, but a necessity, perhaps to get all hands on the Obama deck!
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -7/+1Sorry (not really I like rubbing peoples noses in their ***** pants) to be the one to break it to yah, but it is already paid off. ROFL.
- CCUboogernjit, on 07/18/2008, -1/+3[citation needed]
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -2/+1Oh you are my professor now?
How about rather than asking strangers to do your research for you, you just learn how to use google and quit being an idiot??? - Wartyboskfapped, on 07/18/2008, -1/+3Sorry, chump (that means you, B166r), as you by now know from doing a google search yourself and embarrassedly trying to avoid facing the obvious reality of your complete ownage, the Clinton campaign debt is *not* yet paid off, and in fact probably won't be by August.
- worldgate, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Obama shouldnt be using his campaign money to pay off his opponents debts. She lent herself 10 million and she should be stuck with the bill.
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -7/+1Sorry (not really I like rubbing peoples noses in their ***** pants) to be the one to break it to yah, but it is already paid off. ROFL.
- adayahead, on 07/18/2008, -7/+13It sure would be interesting to live inside the mind of Bill Clinton. Assuming he campaigns for Obama, is it really to help Obama get elected and restore sanity to the U.S.? Or is it about restoring the reputation of Bill Clinton, which Bill Clinton severely damaged while campaigning for Hillary?
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -9/+2LOL, don't worry it is only in your head, ROFL.
- ProUSADigger, on 07/18/2008, -6/+2Did you seriously just say that getting Obama elected will restore
sanity to the U.S. in a non-sarcastic way? - digiwand, on 07/18/2008, -2/+2You don't have to get inside his head to know the answer to that, Bill Clinton only does things for Bill Clinton. ;)
- musicmaverick, on 07/18/2008, -9/+5very big of him.
- Rodalli, on 07/18/2008, -1/+6To suddenly straddle the winning horse now that the race is over? Nah, I don't see that as being "big of him."
- toetagger, on 07/18/2008, -9/+17Don't do us any favors. The Clinton's want him to lose so she can begin campagning in three years, not 7.
- Cuchanu, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2You're right but it can't look that way.
- iheartboobs, on 07/18/2008, -6/+38Now that Hill is back to the senate, Bill can go for all that hot young tail inside the Obama campaign.
Go get em Bill... yeeeeeeee haawwwww - cgibbo, on 07/18/2008, -12/+4"...said Bill Clinton as he pulled down his pants."
- boorishamerican, on 07/18/2008, -11/+5Yeeehaw Bill and Hilary on the trial with Obama = huge disaster.
- worldgate, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1On the Trial? So someone is getting to goto court?
- jabberwolf, on 07/18/2008, -15/+2Bill sounds SOOOOOooooooo enthusiastic!
Just as enthusiastic as everyone is to be his vice-president /S - hansolo, on 07/18/2008, -12/+6Hopefully Obama didn't have to kiss his pale white ass.
- lajaw, on 07/18/2008, -22/+12Another huffinitpost submission? This isn't digg. This is huffinitpost's alter-ego. Stinking socialists, the whole lot.
- beerock, on 07/18/2008, -4/+10My thoughts exactly, Digg needs more fascist propaganda.
- lajaw, on 07/18/2008, -4/+6no, it needs no propaganda.
- nesagwa, on 07/18/2008, -6/+0....or more propaganda
- Enigmocracy, on 07/18/2008, -2/+12Your poor grasp of the definition of Socialism saddens me.

- badnewshotel, on 07/18/2008, -14/+7Yes, the more Bill Clinton the better! I mean, who else better personifies the Democrat Party then a sleazy, lying, back stabbing tub of crap like Clinton. You go girl!
- billyfalconer, on 07/18/2008, -2/+3At least he knows the difference between "then" and "than." Go back to Fox.

- kevinwiz, on 07/18/2008, -6/+5Please explain why you buried an objective AP article just because it happens to be on an opinion site.
- hellsing47, on 07/18/2008, -2/+6Because we see enough of the HuffingtonPost's ***** as it is.
- AchaIemoipas, on 07/18/2008, -1/+7Because they turn an obective piece of news into an opinion piece.
And they always misinterpret everything. It's the national enquirer of politics. - ralphie81, on 07/18/2008, -1/+6Over half of the pages on Digg's 2008 Election page right now is HP spam.
When the majority of the "news" is opinion (and not different opinions, the same one), then there's a problem. If it really is an objective AP article, then the link should be to the AP article, not Huffington Post.

- maj0rm0j0, on 07/18/2008, -6/+8This will give Barack another bump in the polls.
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -3/+8Yes it will, not that Obama needs it;)
This is a tool that I used which is why I supported Hillary back during primary, and part of the reason I supported her.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/
Those are state by state "who would you vote for?" results.
Obama is gonna have a bigger land slide victory than Ronald Regan in 84!!!! :) :) :)
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -3/+8Yes it will, not that Obama needs it;)
- loganro, on 07/18/2008, -10/+3I thought wild Bill was smart, but apparently I was wrong.
- btschul, on 07/18/2008, -2/+2What gave you the idea that Bill was smart? The fact that he gave up the presidency for a blowjob from a chick who wasn't even that hot?
- loganro, on 07/18/2008, -1/+1Being that our economy was amazing when he was in office, I thought he was pretty smart. He is support Obama now though, so I am questioning his intelligence.

- jdigg06, on 07/18/2008, -10/+10YEAH RIGHT like that's going to happen. Buried for Huff Post garbage.
- duckyinc, on 07/18/2008, -12/+4Bill Clinton: I had sex with Monica Lewinsky
- alpha19, on 07/18/2008, -7/+13Buried as inaccurate. Bill Clinton will be campaigning for his own benefit, not Barack's.
- palewook, on 07/18/2008, -5/+9Bill's been wanting in Obama's camp since he learned about Scarlett Johansson hanging around..
- razorsharpwit, on 07/18/2008, -13/+10Boo both of these men!
- pnunn, on 07/18/2008, -3/+3Are you sure that "razorsharpwit" is a good name for you? I think a better one might be "brokenenglishspitter." Not trying to be nasty- but I certainly would expect more than "boo" from your name...
- TomT223, on 07/18/2008, -13/+1Blacks like to stick together. And Bill is down with the bitches and ho's.
- pnunn, on 07/18/2008, -0/+3Wow, does anyone else feel dumber for having read that?

- fani, on 07/18/2008, -6/+3"Kneel before Zod"
- kerguelen72, on 07/18/2008, -9/+5of course you will campaign for obama because he is your skull and bones freemason illuminati brother, and now that the fake race between hillary and obama is over, time to help out the new world order.
- jstancom, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2How much tin foil do you wear on your head to keep the NSA from reading your thoughts?
- pnunn, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Right. 1. The Illuminati are a real concern for the 2008 election year and 2. They would be the Dems- Not even touching the idea that the Clintons and not the Bush fam would be high ranking members of said whack job family fairy tale. The idea that the world's problems can boil down to some "invisible hand" guiding all the injustice is nothing more than fiction- wishful thinking even. At best the idea appeals to college students with no real experience of the subject matter- at worst it appeals to simpletons with little political education.
(FYI- wiki-ing me to death to disprove this will not make you look less crazy.)
Oh yes, and the "New World Order" was actually a phrase from Bush Sr.- Hence the Ministry song by the name during his presidency. EDIT 01- With multiple samples of him speaking the phrase no less.
- FearFactory, on 07/18/2008, -8/+4"I am ready to campaign for Obama, and I still did not have sexual relations with that woman"

http://thesaloon.net/blog/_archives/2008/7/16/3796 ... - ProUSADigger, on 07/18/2008, -10/+4Finally! The nail in the coffin that is the Obama candidacy has arrived! Now that Slick Willy is
in on the joke that is Obama, those who are straddling the fence will surely leave in a hurry!- Wartyboskfapped, on 07/18/2008, -1/+3Yeah, whatever, buddy. Go back to riding your unicorn in rainbow land with the pixies and elves.
- TexanRudeBoy, on 07/18/2008, -3/+15"I'm ready to campaign for Obama"

- dgtljunglist, on 07/18/2008, -1/+5Buried for duplicate comment.
- mummbleswers, on 07/18/2008, -1/+4Buried because you sound like a diggnation of whiners. :p
- TheLogic, on 07/18/2008, -1/+4File this under "Things that were bound to happen that surprised absolutely no one and don't really matter a whole lot".
I only see this having a negative effect on the Obama campaign, so Clinton shouldn't be surprised when he's used more as a private consultant and never gets called up to the plate. - Mattress13, on 07/18/2008, -9/+2Bill for VP?
- B1663r, on 07/18/2008, -10/+1LOL, the republican and the libertarian sympathizers are starting to panic about how baddly they are losing this election;)
I have several suggestions on various brands of lube guys, because the gay anal receiver sex is gonna be mandatory.
OMG YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOO SCREWED!!!!! Everything you guys stand for is gonna be destroyed over the next 20 years;)
Best election ever! - flink405, on 07/18/2008, -9/+10If Democrats could vote over, would they still vote for Obama?
The guy has changed his position on everything since the last primaries (which he lost 2 out of three).
If we had known his current positions on FISA, public financing, etc, etc, back then I doubt Obama would have been selected by Democrats.- stevensj2, on 07/18/2008, -1/+2Agreed.
It would be more commendable to start seeing people _un_campaigning for Obama.
The trend of elections being the selection of the candidate who is "less bad" is getting old. - McHoffa, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1it would be nice to have people vote for a candidate because they really like them, rather than "well at least he's not mccain" or "well at least he's not obama" or "well at least he's not hillary" or "well at least she's not obama"
- patch6, on 07/18/2008, -1/+2He hasn't changed position on all of his promises, just the pseudo-populist ones that wouldn't benefit the corporatocracy.
It doesn't matter though, since the people in general don't care about basic rights or economic stability on more than a superficial level, since understanding the state of affairs, and knowing where improvement is needed, would take more time and effort than they can afford between base distractions.
Hollow, ego-centric affirmations and sound bytes take the place of legitimate political discourse for that majority. Being on the "winning team" politically is believed by supporters to ensure the well-being of that collective (as if popularity alone would cause corporate fascism to work in the general public's favor), when those people are of such a gullible, malleable nature that their entire political paradigms can be dictated to them by such corporate interests, effectively rendering them chattel slaves who can be lured towards supporting all manner of destructive policies, given enough time.
The policies that support total fascism are already in place; all that is needed is a popular administration and a catalyzing event for them to be enforced in full. - xsquirrel378x, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Changed his policy on everything?
Um way less than most politicians would have this point in the campaign. And I like how you add the "etc, etc" because you have nothing else to say.- flink405, on 07/18/2008, -2/+3@ xsquirrel378x -Is this list long enough for you?

- Dalhectar, on 07/18/2008, -1/+1And since he will, the best thing he can do is stay home and start acting presidential. Take some cues from every other past president, and work toward non-partisan issues. Build some cred like your former vice president by taking on big issues, and then you can do what you want. If you want to go back into politics, I'd advise you to first tackle some big issues in a big way. By the time you succeed in that, you might find that you have more influence outside of politics than inside.
Living examples are Al Gore, Bush Sr., and Jimmy Carter.

They totally slam him left and right, say the most obnoxious ***** about him in public, and now that he's got the lead, they're gonna turn around and pretend to be pals?
This is the *exact* reason why the Clintons shouldn't be trusted, and why it's good that she did not get the nomination. Bill may have been fine as President, but that debacle with his wife has completely ruined any trust or credibility they may have had left. - supertater, on 07/18/2008, -4/+5Bill Clinton is a rock star. Sure, he may have done a few drugs and gone a little nuts and peed on the alamo through the primary, but he's back from rehab and ready kick some GOP a**.
- speedk0re, on 07/18/2008, -3/+5i don't think Obama needs Bill... he already had the black vote.
- jazh, on 07/18/2008, -3/+3Lets face it, one reason Obama is popular is because he isn't a Clinton. the fact is, Bill Clinton's economic and social record in office was remarkable!
- mogebier, on 07/18/2008, -3/+1So Obama's people finally found enough female interns to populate Bill Clinton's campaign bus?
