Bill Clinton takes to the road for Obama

Calcutta News.Net
Wednesday 1st October, 2008

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.

Clinton supports Obama?

For me, that is a sure vote against Obama. I am going to vote my protest vote as usual because neither of the candidates has the faintest idea of the problem they are facing. They are both total idiots when it comes to finance and economics. nBoth are warmongers, owned by Wall Street and the neoconservative, so why vote for them. Either vote for Dennis kucinik, Ron Paul or Mike Gravel fo the Libertarian Party. At least these people understand finance and economics and do understand that our foreign policy is a total disaster.
