Bill Clinton to hit the campaign trail again for President Obama

Source: CNN

A month after his well-received Democratic National Convention speech, former President Bill Clinton will be back next week trying to boost Barack Obama’s reelection bid.

Clinton will join Obama in Los Angeles at a private fund-raiser Sunday, an Obama campaign aide told CNN.

(snip)
Clinton, however, is not expected to attend a star-studded concert called “30 Days to Victory” on Sunday evening in Los Angeles. Actor George Clooney will deliver remarks at this event, while musical stars Jon Bon Jovi, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder all are scheduled to perform, according to the campaign.

Then, on Tuesday, Clinton will campaign alone for Obama’s re-election campaign in Las Vegas.

Think what you want about The Big Dog, but when things are tight there's no one better to have on your side than Bill. His value to the Democratic Party cannot be overestimated.

I know that will never happen and may not even be possible. But I would love to see Bill back in some capacity in our government.

Clinton helps with some debate prep.... maybe help the President develop 90 second answers from Clinton's convention speech.
