Is Bill Clinton still fuming over the outcome of the primary contests?
Although he has yet to pick up the phone when Barack Obama calls, a close associate said Sunday that the former President is ready to make nice this week.
"This man doesn't stay mad," said former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, although there are a few anger issues hanging around. For Clinton, it's not all about him, definitely not, McAuliffe said on CNN's "Late Edition."
"Is he somewhat angry, as I am, and others, at some of the treatment Hillary Clinton received from the press? Sure. But, you know, that's life," McAuliffe said.
Clinton went off to Europe only to chill out in deference to Hillary Clinton, who made her first campaign appearance with Obama last Friday in Unity, N.H., McAuliffe said.
"What I think they wanted to do was, first of all, go through the event on Friday, the Unity event," McAuliffe said. "It was up to Hillary. As Bill Clinton will say, she is the political leader of their family."
McAuliffe said he spoke with Bill Clinton Sunday and the former President would be ready for an Obama phone call within 24 to 48 hours.
Obama was still smarting over Bill Clinton's charges that his campaign was out to "slime" Hillary, and Bubba was livid over the Obama campaign's slam that he had tried to play the "race card" in the primaries. But "they'll talk, and off we will go" to campaign for the fall with no hard feelings, McAuliffe said, with Bill Clinton expected to focus on congressional races.
In an online poll by blogger Marc Ambinder, more than 75% of 2,292 respondents said that Obama should ask Bill Clinton politely for help, and if Clinton says no, Obama should ignore him
for later
I would love for this to mean that we will be seeing these two down on our southern border helping to build the wall.
snicker snort
let them suffer
WAsnt there an earlier post here today from fox News quoting Clinton as saying, “Obama can kiss my butt.”..?
little ass kissing going on out there.
Bill Clinton doesn’t stay mad? Does Hillary? I thought the Clintons were known for holding grudges against people. And using secret files to intimidate people, among other tactics.
McAweful is an accomplished liar out of the mould of Slick Willie.
He wants a Cabinet post. Gotta get back to those interns somehow.
If Clinton makes a reconciliation statement, Obama should ignore it.
Let the media and Clinton go have a love fest together.
SURE he doesn't...
“Bill Clinton prepares to mend fences with Barack Obama...”
Good for them. A little physical labor is good for the body AND the soul.
I’ve got a couple sections that need re-working on MY property, if they’re looking for a place to start...
What? That’s NOT what they meant? Oh, sorry.
Good fences make good neighbors. And I’m sure Clinton would want a good, strong fence to keep those uppity black people from his property anyway.

Is McAuliffe doing standup these days.
Unbelivable.
For Clinton it is not about him?!!!
It is always and only about him.
Bubba does not stay mad!!!
Sure that is why Purple Rage is his favorite color and he needs a fork lift to move his enemies list around.
I am so sick of all of them.
Wait until Barry says no to Hillary as VP.
Then Bubba will be really pissed.
