Obama, Bill Clinton to sit down for a private lunch

Sen. Barack Obama and former president Bill Clinton will share a private lunch together on Thursday, September 11, CNN has confirmed.

Clinton issued the invite to Obama after learning he would be in Manhattan for a joint appearance with Sen. John McCain on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, according to Clinton Foundation spokesman Matt McKenna.

The luncheon is another sign that the Clinton and Obama camps are moving forward in the spirit of unity. Major steps toward healing the party came during the Democratic National Convention where Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton, individually addressed convention-goers, appealing to them to support Obama come November. Sen. Clinton made the motion for Obama to be formally nominated as the Democratic presidential nominee.

8. Hillary has been out campaigning for Obama and I'm sure that Bill will do the same.

I'm also sure that any appearances the Clinton's make are being carefully planned by Obama's campaign for maximum effect. They will be there when they are needed.

5. You and me both.

If these two type A personalities can really open up to each other it could lead to an amazing friendship. They have a lot of their life stories in common.
