“I haven’t cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis),” Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in Florida. “He said, ‘Tell me what the right thing to do is. What’s the right thing for America? Don’t tell me what’s popular. You tell me what’s right — I’ll figure out how to sell it.’”

He didn’t smile or clap at all during the end. GREAT! :)

Just more evidence that Obama doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing - and he’s all about propaganda and sales. He will have to surround himself with help. Unfortunately, we know where he’ll get his advice....and they’re all Leftists, Marxists, Pinkos, and Socialists.

McCain needs to incorporate Clintoon’s quotes into these last few stump speeches...would really be a good thing...especially about how Obama can “sell” it to America. I think it would help.

This is priceless. Thank you, Slick.

If Obama gets elected, I'm hoping Bill will keep giving these "backhanded compliments" throughout his term. I'm also hoping that will reign Obama in to some extent.

So, it's true. The Obama presidency is a reason for hope.

Maybe so.

At the very least, McCain needs to send him a thank you note and a gift card to The Men’s Club Dallas.

Clinton always chooses his words carefully in order to obtain the desired result.

THANK GOD!

This is proof on so many ways that Obama is an idiot.

During his administration, Clinton was never interested in doing what was right...he lived and died by what the polls said.

Bill Clinton was the absolute wrong person for Obama to ask “what’s the right thing to do, not the popular thing to do?”

It must be difficult for Obama to keep his composure in public with Clinton standing behind him, giving him a Barney Frank...

“You tell me what’s right — I’ll figure out how to sell it.’”

Now THAT is funny. Can’t BS a BS’er.

Obama just reads off a teleprompter whatever his speechwriters write for him to read.

All these subliminal messages the public is getting are priceless! “MARK MY WORDS! THERE WILL BE A CRISIS!” GIRD YOUR LOINS!” “WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?” I am laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes!

This video is way too funny — sounds like mostly college kids — all about Hillary and Him campaigning. He is an idiot. Wouldn’t want him campaigning for me.

Obams is not impressed with Clinton! Clinton is so full of himself and even the crowd is not even impressed.

Clinton a policy WONK? ROFLOL!!! I am watching the video — he forgot about 9/11!

Universal college education! Just like Chicago — it turns out the worst students. Have trouble reading and writing.

Obama is throwing daggars at Clinton throughout this!

LOL! Biden a good decision.

Financial crises — took a little heat for not talking — called Hillary and Bill and Bill’s advisors.

My comments on the video — Bill’s endorsement of Obama was sure backhanded. Sounded more like he was pushing himself.

I think you people are getting carried away:

1) I looked at the video twice and didn’t think there was anything negative about it. The economic crash was an extremely complicated matter that no one person no matter how wise would want to act on without a lot of counsel.

2) Even if this was negative I don’t see anyway to use it in an ad or as a talking point.

First time in my life I’ve ever said, Gotta love that Bill Clinton.

Question: Any network news coverage visible out there?

I quit TV and newspapers. Get it all online and onradio.
