McAuliffe: Bill Clinton and Obama to talk within 48 hours

[DogPoundPup]

Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe assured CNN’s Candy Crowley that former President Bill Clinton and presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama will be discussing Clinton’s role in the campaign within the next two days.

“I believe that in the next 24 to 48 hours they will talk and off we will go,” McAuliffe stated on Sunday’s Late Edition.

Clinton has remained behind the scenes so far during the general election. He was not present at the Democratic event in Unity, New Hampshire on Friday and has only released a one-sentence statement saying that he will do whatever he can to help the Illinois senator win the election.

Many analysts have said that Clinton’s not-so-subtle absence from the campaign is because he is angry and bitter about his wife losing the nomination.

McAuliffe defended the former president, saying that he has been taking time to let his wife finish up her campaign and secure her relationship with Obama.

“She was the candidate, she got 18 million votes, she’s the political leader of the Clinton family now,” McAuliffe said.

1. We must email Hillaryclinton.com to give him all the encouragement for doing the right thing and...

restore his gravitas. Encourage him to work his heart out as if it was a campaign for himself the world will respect him for this, there is so much on the line and they are counting on Bill to help.

2. I'm quite the believer in timing when

it happens. This was actually the thing to do, imo.
