Former US president Bill Clinton, who was once highly critical of his wife’s political rival, has now gone on the campaign trail to work for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Even though Clinton sniped at Senator Obama during the contest for the Democrat nomination, which was contested by his wife Hillary, he has told a crowd in Florida that Senator Obama has the better understanding of complicated economic problems and the better advisors to work with.

The two-term former president remains a powerful draw among working-class Democrats, who have still not been completely convinced by Senator Obama.

Mr Clinton has predicted that Senator Obama will win the presidential election against John McCain on November 4th.
