McAuliffe: Bill Clinton and Obama to talk within 48 hours

Posted: 04:36 PM ET

From CNN's Jake Lansburgh

(CNN) — 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.

1. Germany just lost, and the team walked off graciously

Bill had 8 years. It's time to move on.

9. Why believe every piece of gossip you hear about him?

People here said Hillary wouldn't actively support Obama, and they all had egg on their faces. Don't make the same mistake twice.

2. And the Clinton bashing continues.

Ironically, we're about to elect another Centrist.

8. Let's read the rest of the article.....

It's only bashing when you edit the article to not show the GOOD part.

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.

Obama asked to talk to President Clinton on Friday and Hillary Clinton told him, “Absolutely,” according to McAuliffe.

Now that President Clinton is back from a five-nation tour during which he attended Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party, McAuliffe predicts that they will be speaking shortly—but stressed that the attention should be on Hillary Clinton and Obama coming together.

10. You beat me to it.

Someone else posted this, but included the positive parts. Therein lies the difference.

11. That is complete bullshit.I didn`t edit the article...

the problem is that we are not allowed to post entire articles.That`s why I wrote "more..." so people can read the whole article.Why is that so difficult to understand?

If I would have posted the entire article somebody would have complained that we are not allowed to post entire articles and maybe my thread would have been locked.So instead of complaining that I left the "GOOD" parts out of the article why don`t you people read the whole article before you start complaining?

Grow up for fuck sake!

12. And one more thing...

IF my intention was to make this thread to a Clinton-bashing thread then I would have changed the original title to this article and used another title to this thread but I didn`t, right?

So before you start complaining read the whole article instead of bashing the messenger...

Making snippets of an article is not always people have time to do or there could be other reasons...

So please, spare me the bullshit.
