Bill Clinton Focuses on Health Care - Not Oprah - in S.C.

ABC News' Sarah Amos reports: A day before the much hyped Obama-Oprah tour hits South Carolina, former President Clinton made his own visit to the state today, campaigning for his wife in Charleston. The former president spent most of the day focusing on health care and the work Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has done to improve the system. Although the former president wasn't speaking to stadium size crowds, Clinton still has huge appeal in the state. He attracted a gaggle of nurses clamoring for pictures at one event, and a mob of locals and tourists when he visited the open market in historic downtown.
When asked if he was worried about the Oprah-Obama event in Iowa, Clinton casually replied, "Oh no -- my family, the rest of my family, my mother-in-law and my daughter are all in Iowa with Hillary and I am going there tomorrow. I just came from New Hampshire were doing a rotation I didn't want South Carolina to feel left out."
The former president met with a local black sorority and held a round table on health care at the children's hospital. Clinton also spent time visiting with some of the children currently staying at the hospital.
Clinton is scheduled to attend church services in Charleston Sunday before heading to Iowa on Monday for more campaigning.

That's wanting I like on the Clintons, it is a family affair. They campaign as family. Bill Clinton is Hillary's husband........He is there to campaign for her. Obama needs someone like a clebrity to get people to hear him. I cannot blame Obama to do that. Obama needs other way to cover up his being unexperienced. Our country is in bad shape. The economy.....especially. Clinton is the right candidate. Clinton can start the job the first day of office.
I am also so proud that Mr. Clinton has always been very supportive to Hillary. They know what they are talking about and they know how to run this country. Experience and knowledge are so very important to run this country. We cannot afford to have someone without experience to run our country. Please........we are suffering now and we want to recover.
Family campaigning is the best so far.

its very family that bill and Hillary are not only compaigning seperatly but living in two different houses. That is very family. I have seen Michelle at most if not all of Obama's rallys. Tell me why isn't that family. Most of the
American people do not use the words The Clinton's and family values in the same breath. remember Chelese was only born AFTER bill had lost re-election to the governorship of Arkansas. Oh is that another one of truths that are off limits?
