You ask?

Well, if you came in late, he's on his way to events in Virginia!!!

He spoke stirringly to the group before taking off, mentioning that he is following his marching orders from the Obama Campaign!


Go BILL! :applause:

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

1. Proud to have Bill as a "neighbor"!
Here in Upper Westchester we love our local celebrity!

3. I would have like to have heard him speak longer -- he's inspirational and energizing.
And Hillary is doing an outstanding job!

4. True, but he sounded more than ever...
...like he's completely on board.

And I think he was making a conscious effort to not upstage Hillary.

Which is nice, I guess., just glad that he's wasn't holding back as much as he seems to have in the recent past.

6. Oh -- were you being literal when you say he was on his way to VA?
I was only listening at the time, not watching, now on my screen I only see Jill, Joe and Hillary - no Bill.

I thought he was just kind of announcing a future appearance and support for Obama -- but he actually LEFT?

7. That's what it sounded like - that he was leaving for VA right away.

9. Ah, that explains him being MIA and the shortness of his intro. Thanks.

8. Yes he left.
During his speech introducing Hillary, he explained that he wouln't be able to stick around to hear her speech and Biden's because the Obama campaign his him speaking in VA later today and he'd have to leave right away.

12. Okay - thanks. I missed that part of what he said. I'm glad he was able
to make even a brief appearance.

15. Yeah, I think so....
And even if he didn't mean right that moment, I think it was gracious to get off the stage and give it up for Hillary and Biden.

And nice that MSNBC hasn't left the live feed, too.

5. Hey, Bill Clinton's introduction of Hillary made complete amends for me ... he's back to Classy Bill
Thanks so much Bill Clinton. The disappointment had to be hard, but he's rising above that to FULLY support the Obama/Biden ticket.

Bless ya Bill Clinton. No more diggs from me. ;)

17. Historically, I might have done the same...
...but he was classy today, then he left.

19. That's the thing with him, though. You never know if you're going to get Good Bill or Bad Bill

26. I think it took awhile for him to wrap his brain around this dilemma...
You know, accepting Hillary's loss and wanting to be somewhat nasty, but also wanting to have a positive legacy.

And I think he finally figured out that he can really kick ass and feel like he pulled together a landslide for the party, for America, if not for Barack Obama.

11. Bill did a great job, and he explained that - yes - he had to leave
immediately, literally, - he's headed for Virginia. And Hilary did an outstanding job. Just watched it. Joe is on now.

13. They should close out campaigning with a huge event in FL or NC with all 4 of them
It would be beyond awesome.

14. Any chance Hillary would make a great Supreme Court Justice?
Or Bill?

16. I don't think it fits their resume.
No time on the bench, anywhere, nor a great deal of time spent as a constitutional academic.

It takes more than popularity and name recognition to serve on the SCOTUS.

27. If not resume, then, we could talk about temperment and values. nt

20. I thought that might happen, then there'd be some "concern" posts...
Or "whats up with Bill" posts, you know the ones.....So thought I'd head off the flood with a catchy but deceptive subject line, then let everyone know that Bill was cool today and had to run.

I liked what he said about "Marching Orders"!

:bounce:

24. I hope they send him to West Virginia, too.
Nice to see the last legitimate President campaigning for our ticket.
