BREAKING NEWS *** OBAMA and BILL CLINTON hold joint rally on the economy ****
No....Not YET true, but this is something I believe Obama and Bill seriously should consider. It would GREATLY benifit both of them.

Bill Clinton would get the true recognition of being a great president who left office with a record of four consecutive years with a budget surplus a strong economic growth.

Obama would have the spotlight on him, giving him a chance of giving one of his great and inspiring speeches as further enhances his strengths over McCain on the economic issues.

As I see it, an event with Barack and Bill together on stage would be a win-win situation that would acomplish many things:

- It would be a definite distinction to the Bush 8-years, getting people to think back on the good years with a democratic president.
- It would be a great oppurtunity to heal the wounds between Obama and Clinton.
- It would give Bill Clinton not only the recognition of being a great president but also he would finally have a chance to get some credit for helping Barack Obama being elect the Next PResident of the United States of America.

The more I think of this I'm certaing it would be a GREAT event and a definetely knockout on McGrumpy!!!

1. I have to disagree. It would just make it look even more politicized than it already does.
Both candidates are in a tough spot on this one. If they say too much they run the risk of foot in mouth disease if circumstances change fast, and they already are. We saw McCain get burnt already by claiming credit for a bill that hadn't even passed yet. If they say too little they get accused of not leading, which I've already seen directed at both Obama and McCain.

Further, I feel Bill should be kept in the background as much as possible at this point. He can obviously do what he wants, but I wouldn't use him much officially, if at all.

But, that's just my opinion and I'm 100% sure others here will disagree.

However, the first paragraph is true no matter what. :D
