Asked today about former President Clinton‘s role in the Obama campaign, Obama press secretary Jen Psaki said they’d rather have Clinton their side than Newt Gingrich.

“We’d rather have President Bill Clinton out there than Newt Gingrich or whoever the Romney team has on their side,” she said aboard Air Force One on the way to Wisconsin. “Look, there’s no one better to make the case for why the American people should send the president back for another four years, why there’s no better fighter for the middle class than President Bill Clinton.”
