Bill Clinton Announces That He’s Joining The Obama Campaign

(New York, NY) Bill Clinton, again, has shocked the political world. Sunday afternoon, during a short press conference at Ray’s Famous Pizza, the former President said that this country is in dire need of change.
“That’s why I have decided to withdraw as an advisor from Hillary’s campaign,” said Bill. “And join Obama's campaign as the senior advisor.”
The response from Hillary Clinton’s campaign was that of surprise. “I can't believe it,” said Clinton’s campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson. "I can't believe he would....wait a second. You know what, this makes perfect sense. Bill’s wild behavior: the remarks comparing Obama to Jesse Jackson, wandering off during campaign appearances and calling Hillary old and forgetful in regard to her Bosnia visit, they were all his way of sabotaging her.....Shit, I can't believe I didn't see that earlier.”
Bill insists that he did not sabotage Hillary. “I just realized that there has been a Clinton or Bush on the presidential ticket since 1980. That struck me as weird. So I think it’s time to turn the page and pave the way for the next generation. Besides, having one president in the family is enough for any family.”
But what about a Vice President? Rumors are starting to circulate that the real reason Bill is defecting to Obama's camp is that he's going to be put on the ticket as Obama's VP.
Obama has been silent, but the former president dismissed the idea as a fairytale. "But having two black candidates on the ticket would be something, wouldn't it?"
"It will never happen," said Joe Klein, author of the book The Natural: Bill Clinton's Misunderstood Presidency. "Even if President Clinton signed on as Obama's VP, he would take over the spotlight and sabotage the whole thing. He can't stand being a second fiddle, not to Hillary, not to anyone. Like fidelity, it's not in his DNA...And Hillary knows that."
Klein must be right, because Senator Clinton is not lashing out at her husband. Instead she has changed her name to Hillary Rodham, leaving Bill an opening to remain the only Clinton president and her, if she should win, the only Rodham president. That's love.
