WASHINGTON - The Obama camp is preparing to embrace Hillary Clinton enthusiastically - but they're reaching for the 10-foot pole to keep her rabid husband at bay.
Bill Clinton's erratic and increasingly sulfuric behavior on the campaign trail has perplexed senior Barack Obama campaign officials trying to figure out how to deploy him in the fall campaign.
While the former President's political skills are extraordinary, some senior Democratic and Obama officials - and Hillary Clinton aides - believe he is now simply too toxic to be a high-profile surrogate.
"Before all the controversy there were plenty of things he could have done, but he's definitely a liability now," a Democratic operative with close ties to Obama Nation told the Daily News.
"She will campaign her heart out and be a huge asset for Obama," the source predicted. "But he needs to just stay out of it."

I'm sure Bill can find something to do with his spare time.:D
Have a good one!:s4:
