President Obama is trying to position himself as a Clinton-esque leader running against what he hopes Americans will see as uninspiring, out-of-touch opponents. So why not go straight to the source and get some help? Bloomberg reports:
Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to make joint appearances with President Barack Obama at a series of fundraisers, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The 42nd and the 44th presidents will appear together at events in the coming months in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, according to one of the people. The New York fundraiser is aimed at donors in the financial services industry, said the person, who like the others spoke on the condition of anonymity because they hadn’t been authorized to talk about the events.[...]
The prospect of a meeting with Obama as well as the former president, whose favorability rating was 67 percent in a Pew Research Center poll last year, may entice more donors, especially those who retain some loyalty to Hillary Clinton, who lost to Obama in the 2008 Democratic nomination contest, one of the people said.
This is not the first time Clinton has helped his first Democratic successor out in a tight spot. In 2010, Clinton seized control of a press conference hosted by Obama to deliver a resounding defense of Democratic unity over taxes:

Posted on March 6, 2012 at 10:04amI can’t beleieve Obama has forgotten the inauguration when Clinton was given the mike to speak. They got into a tug of war over it because Clinton didn’t want to give it up. Obama won’t be able to get the mike back – the Secret Service can’t attack a former President. This is going to be so funny!

Posted on March 6, 2012 at 7:04amMs FRAN EATON is the Chicago journalist who began to vet and expose obama in 2007 before he began his 2008 Pres campaign, her work is extraordinary and of course she was vilified as soon as it hit ink. She exposed the Rev Wright ‘12point black value system’ that obama is devoted to: #8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”.

Posted on March 6, 2012 at 6:32amNothing new here, the Bilderburgs and Bush gave the nod to Clinton in the 80′s, Bush was glad to give it to him and then the hate campaign for Clinton came and wala, Jr. came on the scene. After the false flag of 911,[ did I mention that building #7 magically came down by itself], anyhow we there was no WMD, except of course WMD of choice; wells of mass production, anyhow people were tired of war and lies the Bush crime family wanted Barry to get the job so they run bombs away McCain, and just to make sure he got the job they run the price of gas&diesel up to 4&5$ on 2007. Now we have a “choice” between Barry & Mitt, the Bush‘s can’t lose Mitt is there boy and so is Barry.

Posted on March 6, 2012 at 5:25amSame as last election… do WHATEVER it takes (lie, cheat, steal… and lie, cheat, steal some more) to get into the White House… and then promote socialism and drive our country into a ditch. I blame NoBama, and I blame the liberal media (Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, and yes, even Brian Wiliiams, along with all of the other liberal left-wingers). Game on, NoBama. It’s time for the GOP to play hardball!
