I watched President Bill Clinton in the Davis Letterman show on TV yesterday. As usual he was a charismatic guest. He gave an excellent explanation for the current crisis in the Wall Street. But when the topic turned to the Presidential election, he became rather coy. He had difficulty in saying anything positive about Barack Obama. In fact, it looked like he was avoiding even saying the name ‘Obama’ (as the next guest in the show, Chris Rock, rightfully observed). Clinton instead praised John McCain as ‘true hero’ who has made great sacrifices for this country. He noted that the selection of Sarah Palin for the V.P. slot was excellent. It was obvious that Bill Clinton is still bitter about Hillary losing the nomination for U.S. Presidency to Obama. I even suspect that he wants Obama to lose this election, so that Hillary will get another chance in 2012. Clinton mentioned that he was looking forward to campaigning for Obama in the coming weeks. I am not sure that it is a good thing!
