Bill and Barack Reserve Table for Two
September 07, 2008 3:59 PM
ABC's Kate Snow Reports: Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama will have a private lunch together in New York City on the anniversary of Sept. 11, according to Clinton Foundation spokesman Matt McKenna.
McKenna says Clinton knew Obama would be coming to town to recognize the anniversary with a joint appearance with Sen. John McCain scheduled at Ground Zero. Clinton invited the Democratic candidate to lunch.
Although Clinton has said he will campaign on behalf of Obama, there are no campaign events or public appearances scheduled for the two men as yet.

Bill owes Obama nothing.
Clinton had a 90 plus approval rating amongst African Americans due to his 8 year record in office - supporting affirmative action, appointing supreme courst justices who supported affirmative action and appointing a cabinet that "looked like America" (i.e.. diverse).
Yet Obama accused Clinton of racism in the days before the SC primary so he could get the African American vote.
Obama race baited - how's that for "change"

surprise, another republican liar.

csh, you should just shut-up. I am black and work in downtown and guess you understand what I mean, Bill Clinton is still loved by the blacks but i must admit we were surprised with some of his comments then but no on is calling him a racist and no one has implied he is a racist though i must say some people on the blogs may have but those are blog comments. We do love Clinton and hope he does a lot for Obama. I will place Clinton in Ohio and Florida if I was Obama. Thats where he is so popular apart from West Virginia and Arkansas and he has the working class background just like Biden but dont know why Biden does not have that appeal.

I hope Obama is buying.

Bill Clinton should tell Obama to stuff it along with his false accusations of racism against the most successful Democratic President in the last half century, a man who spent his entire life fighting against racism. Bill should send obama packing with his tail between his legs. Enough of this lying , hateful, empty suit. Give him the boot Bill!

We the African-Americans are proud of the Clintons. They have done great jobs for us but in the primary we were surprised of the comments he made. Hillary Clinton later apologized for the remarks he made and we accepted it.
No one is exempted from mistakes as humanbeings and no one is perfect.

I hope Bill punches Obama in his lying mouth.
We know Obama won't hit back, because he never does anything face to face.

I.A.T smith; jayjay;
Speak for yourselves, not for the other Blacks who love Bill and Hill and were GROSSLY offended by the race baiting Obama, who conveniently used Blacks to win the primaries and is now pandering big time to whites who can see through his shallow words. He thinks he has the Black vote locked up now so he doesn't need to address their concerns any longer. His actions don't match his rhetoric. His cocky, arrogant, racist self will go down in defeat in November. KICK HIM TO THE CURB Bill!!!

Lee Lee, you are not a true follower of hillary. Hillary has been very clear to her followers: To follow me you have to vote obama. You are a republican shill and a liar trying to spread dissent.
It wont' work, and obama will win (and I bet Hillary will get on the supreme court!).

Reading what some African Americans are finally saying about Bill, is very nice to read. Someone said the media played a major role in the division, we (I) knew it from the beginning, the fact that it was used and people bought into it was horrifying for those of us who know the truth about the CLINTONS. What promised to be such a PROUD time for Democrats turned ugly thanks to media. I hope that real unity at some point, could really happen. Joe Biden is a good man, but to use an overused cliche', "He's no Hillary!" Or Bill. See, they are not afraid to talk to ALL of us, any color, just the folks down here, where STATE COLLLEGE education reigns, a lot, thanks to the CLINTONS.

Why is Obama so fake with everyone around him?

What is wrong with you people this is not NEWS! So what I'm AA and a Soldier, this is about who will protect us, who will get our jobs back, since my company i worked for closed since i been away, and let's not talk about my foreclosure, again since i been away fight the wrong war...How so many people and MSM have forgotten about us so fast..Know why, it not about you as usual, you didn't see Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, you doidn't see the path of economy was taking with this war until gas prices got high, you didn't see your house being lost the rates went up and you could not afford it, you still see the surge as a success when they can't even decide who or what will be done with all the money and elections they are to have, you couldn't even see that Georgia attack it's neighbor fist, and that some of the soldier's had to return, to their home land and fight while they face what might or might not have been left of thier lives and family members, again while we are still fighting this war, you did not see this region not just Iraq turned inside out, and not for the good of the USA, but for themselves...You who sit here and worry about who meeting who, well one thing they are, democratic, while is that so hard to believe...Now what i want to know who is going to stand up for us now, thier is VP a heart beat away for Commander In Chief with no experince not even from that Nation Guard she claiming, check the facts.
Well I guess again NOBODY HERE!BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT!

" You are a republican shill and a liar trying to spread dissent."
Watch this "republican shill" registered as a Democrat vote the Republican ticket on Election Day.
My vote will be identified afterwards as a McCain-Democrat vote.
Votes like mine are going to make McCain yore new president.
