Five Presidents.

Political beliefs aside, this is a pretty cool thing to see. We can’t help but wonder what Obama and Carter are laughing at.

She’s an extraordinarily able person. I’ve never met anybody I thought was a better public servant. But I have no earthly idea what she’ll decide to do.
Bill Clinton, on his wife’s presidential ambitions. You’ll note that this is a change from the “I absolutely won’t run for president at all” tune Hillary’s been singing for the last four years.

What’d you think of Bill’s speech, folks?

It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics. Why? Because poverty, discrimination and ignorance restrict growth. When you stifle human potential, when you don’t invest in new ideas, it doesn’t just cut off the people affected — it hurts us all.
President BILL CLINTON, at the DNC. (via inothernews)

Clinton makes the case for raising the bar.

AP sources: Obama campaign to use Bill Clinton in prominent role at Democratic convention

WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton will play a prominent role at the Democratic National convention this summer, several Obama campaign and party officials say.
The former president will formally nominate President Barack Obama for re-election. And he will use a prime-time speech to argue that Obama has the strongest economic vision for the country’s future, the officials say.


Probably a good move, but will this convince anyone on the other side of the aisle?

Former US President Bill Clinton meets with former South African President Nelson Mandela at his home in Qunu, South Africa, Tuesday, July 17, 2012 on the eve of Mandela’s 94th birthday.

Two diplomatic icons who defined the ’90s better than any others.

In case you missed him the first time, Arsenio Hall is coming back with a new syndicated talk show in September 2013, giving Hall an opportunity to relive his greatest individual moment, above. His previous (and very popular) show was a late-night staple between 1989 and 1994, when his only real competition for most of that time frame was Johnny Carson. Bad news: Hall now has Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Handler, and hundreds of other channels to fight against. Being away from the game so long, can he pull it off?

The Romney campaign decided to unveil a new, parody Twitter account today — imagining Bill Clinton as a free-talking Romney supporter if he took to tweeting. The only thing we think they get right? That suave, saxophone-and-shades profile photo — Slick Willy is alive and well.

If I were the president, I wouldn’t want to be attached to a loss. Tom Barrett is polling down and he doesn’t have an economic development plan and he doesn’t have a budget plan. That does not bode well for his candidacy and it also doesn’t bode well for the president if he comes into Wisconsin and then doesn’t have the potency in order to lift Tom Barrett to a win.
Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch • Suggesting that Obama has stayed out of the Scott Walker recall race because he thinks Tom Barrett’s going to lose. It’s not like Kleefisch doesn’t have a biased opinion here or anything — she’s also facing a recall. But that said, it is a tad conspicuous that Obama has stayed out of the campaign while Bill Clinton has jumped in with both feet. But in the end, we don’t know what’s actually going to happen until tomorrow. We’ll be watching closely.
