You know he's thinking it.  Like the article said, he's doing all the work of a candidate right now, any way.

Well, he might as be running. Bill's strident advocacy of Hillary is one of the three reasons why I've just withdrawn my endorsement

As a former president, Bill should not be actively involved in the Democratic primary for any candidate. He can be active all he likes, however, once the Democratic Party 1) decides on its presidential nominee and 2) once the nominee accepts the nomination

I agree that he should not be involved this early in the process, especially since he's being the antagonist.  But then again, I'm not a big fan of the spouse of any candidate taking such an active speaking position to begin with.  They might be a touchy-feely introduction person before the candidate speaks, but beyond that, they should stay relatively quiet.

Wow, that's two forumers renouncing their support of Hillary in 3 day's. Both for basically the same reason too.

I guess he woke up from the MLK ceremonies, then.

Talk about adding fuel to the Hillary race fire...

Wait a second....I thought he was already running for President in 2008. This is the first time in my life that a former President has come out very strongly for their candidate. I don't think Carter, Reagan or Bush Senior brutally attacked their major opposition of their endorsed candidate. I think that in 1992 and 1996 Hillary Clinton ran for re-elected and gained a Penis, whilst Bill Clinton is running in his own right in 2008 and has gotten Hillary's menopause, thus the vendetta against Obama.

Thinking about Bill Clinton having a vagina is hilarious (like the womanizer in the movie Switch), but I don't really follow your point.

I think my favorite part of the article was the very end:

"Clinton also noted that, if elected, the timing would be perfect for his family, as his wife has recently expressed a desire to move back to the D.C. area."

President Clinton has been doing lately what really makes me dislike him. ANGER. I hate angry people...especially when they act entiled to something. President Bush gets walked on by reporters from an Ireland news woman to Helen Thomas...but he takes it like a man. OH LORD...dare Chris Wallace ask Clinton a hard question....his eyes bug out...his face turns red...and he goes crazy. Same thing to the late Peter Jennings in 2004. "Don't go there, Peter".

Why the hell is it okay to walk on two-term President Bush but not two-term President Clinton?

He's suffering from post-presidential stress disorder.

Wouldn't you be angry too if the last woman you had sex with was Monica Lewinsky? Wink

Bill Clinton should buy an island with his recent $20 million cash windfall.

This seems as good a thread as any to post this actual Bill Clinton quote from earlier today:

Compared to Monica/perjury, the Obama dust-up is small potatoes on the shame-o-meter.
