i don t think bill clinton will pay him back with some off the reservation remark. best thing for hillary clinton and bill clinton and the best thing for president obama. i think bill clinton will be reminding, he is good housekeeping seal of approval for the wavering democrats. reminding the democrats and independents watching that his record paired historic deficit reduction with 20 million new jobs and he will critique romney s approach to the economy and the republican economic policies. i think he is the best spoke spokesman that obama could have put forward at the convention, especially on a big sports night that threatens their viewership. i think it s a win-win for all three of them. bret: charles, does this indicate a weakness with perhaps middle class white voters with the obama campaign? and remember, last time former president clinton went out he started by saying we should keep going with all of the bush tax cuts.
