Former President Bill Clinton has been largely absent from the campaign trail since he first stood side by side with his wife, Hillary, during her campaign reboot on Roosevelt Island.

Eight years ago, the former president was gearing up for his wife’s first White House run, but he has had a relatively quiet summer this year, his campaign citing the president’s focus on his foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting, which is currently taking place in New York City to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly.

The annual meeting is President Clinton’s springboard into a busy political fall, according to a staffer. This week will be jam packed for Mr. Clinton. His October calendar is populating with fundraisers in Atlanta and Kansas City in the days following the annual meeting, which concludes Tuesday, and he is to headline the West Virginia Democratic Party Jefferson Jackson Dinner on Friday. The evening will be Clinton’s most high-profile event after the annual meeting, after which he will hit the trail and fundraise in Michigan on Oct. 7.

While at the CGI annual meeting, Clinton has played guard dog in recent cable news interviews, comparing his wife's email controversy to Whitewater. Telling CNBC anchor, Becky Quick, “It really is similar to the strategy the Republicans employed against me with Whitewater,” Clinton said. “They look at the field and they say, who do we not want to run against? And then they dribble out stuff, and they attack.”

Mr. Clinton words were similar to Hillary Clinton’s comments on NBC News' "Meet The Press."

Well he certainly was a 'game-changer' in 2008 now wasn't he?

1. He was a game-changer in 2010

His campaigning for conservative Blanche Lincoln against the more liberal Bill Halter in the 2010 Arkansas Democratic primary for US Senate may have put the weaker candidate, Lincoln, over the top in the primary (after a run-off that was heavily tilted in Lincoln's favor). Lincoln then went on to be the first sitting Democratic Senator from Arkansas to lose an election to a Republican-- and by a huge margin at that-- since Reconstruction.
