Bill Clinton faces benching in fall presidential campaign

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."

IF it's what I'm thinking of that is still not confirmed. I'll believe it when I see it.

I havent heard about obamas wife,WTH?
Whats wrong wid bill clinton?Why is he a liability?

sticky,

if you heard half the things he said during the PA and SC primaries, he was essentially sticking his foot directly in his mouth. Trying to explain hilaries lying about sniper fire, etc etc... just generally saying more than he should have and digging the hole deeper.

I hear alot about Obama's wife being a liability too with her "finally proud to be an american" comments (which is bullshit, ALOT of us im sure feel that way as well... i know i sure as hell love this country but have not been proud of it lately.)

I also hear alot of rumors (unfounded, im sure) that shes a big racist and is just waiting to go on a rant about "whitey". :wtf:

Bill was not being helpful during the primaries. I think he made the campaign a little to personal and like he felt in some way this election was about HIM. Bill used to have a lot of credibility among blacks, but I think he lost some of that bacause of the nature of some of the comments he made during the primaries. He used to be a political genius, but I don't think he has it amymore.
