"KING: A couple of quick things, Senator. Would you, in your administration, make use of Bill Clinton?

OBAMA: Absolutely. I think that, you know, Bill Clinton is a brilliant statesman and politician, and I think that any president would want to use his skills and his relationships around the world.

By the way, I would reach out to the first George Bush. You know, one of the things that I think George H.W. Bush doesn't get enough credit for was his foreign policy team and the way that he helped negotiate the end of the Cold War and prosecuted the Gulf War. That cost us 20 billion dollars. That's all it cost. It was extremely successful. I think there were a lot of very wise people. So I want a bipartisan team that can help to provide me good advice and counsel when I'm president of the United States."

3. Yes, but he said that before Poppy Bush started crying all the time, didn't he?
Maybe he's crying at the thought of him and Bill no longer traveling together.

6. I think his crying is his realization that he will be equated with his dimwit son. n/t

4. Oh man, people who don't agree on everything working together?
I was hoping for 8 more years of divisiveness.

7. If Obama becomes president, I hope he does make use of

selected former presidents. Those two, along with Carter, are available.

This is particularly important, IMO, because of his precocious political development.
