and he can endorse when he feels like it. After what those guys in chicago did to him, how is he supposed to feel? He won two terms, a first for a Dem since FDR, and gets called a racist? Because he made our party palatable in issues which we once were extremely vulnerable on, like crime and welfare, which beat us 5 out of 6 elections from 1968-1988? before he came along, we used to average 113 electoral votes. We do way better than that today. Before him, we used to lose MI, CA, ME, NH, PA, VT, IL, NJ, DE, MD, and CT. now, we usually win those states in elections, all of which add up to a lot of electoral votes. He'll endorse when he feels like it. he restored our credibility on the economy which Carter RUINED. He can endorse when he wants.

that being said, I think he'll wait until next month. He is not going to do something because Wolf Blitzer says he should. He will do it when people know: it means something. He is acting on how he feels, not how the media feels. Perhaps even at the convention.

Let me begin by saying I don't agree with everything you say all the time.  Sometimes I am slightly suspect about your motives and the 'gist' behind some of your commentary, but this is spot on.

There was no reason for the person who TR you to do so. You spoke absolute truth to the issue.  The sad legacy of this primary will be the progressive wing of the party turning on the only successful Democratic POTUS of their lifetime because they needed to denigrate his spouse and derail her chances.  Bill's accomplishments were even downplayed by the nominee himself on the campaign trail by his continual raising up of other's accomplishments while refusing to acknowledge Bills.  That was shameful, and anyone believeing otherwise has bought into the 'fairytale' about Bill and Hillary's rascism.

This issue alone is one of the reasons I simply do not trust those who hold themselves up as 'progressives' yet they continue to deride the Clinton years as shit.

Bill is a political force that still has drawing power and usefullness for the party.  However, if I were Bill, the way he has been portrayed and treated this campaign season, I would happily sit home on my hands and read Mad magazine.

the "him" in my post was Bill Clinton, not Barack Obama.

walk to the airplane will be choreographed.  Obama will emerge from one side of the bullet-proof, tinted-window black SUV.  He'll go over to the other side, open the door and out will come Clinton herself.  He'll probably extend her his hand, as the distance from the seat to the ground is probably pretty high for someone 5'6.  

Then Clinton will point out the bag that she is bringing with her and Obama will make sure that the cameras catch him carrying it for her.  Reggie Love and Huma will be trailing in the background.

It should be hilarious.

OK, please feel free to ignore my diary. LOL

Which brings to mind that the endorsemnets of Gore, Edwards, Richardson, Pelosi, Reid, mean what?  The same as a BC endorsement would mean.

Unless he decides to be Jimmy Carter and stay out of the endorsement buisness until he's older, he will endorse, no matter how badly he's been portrayed by the folks (like yourself) who openly dislike him so much.

Frankly, I'd like to see him sit it out.

it matters to millions of democrats, minus you.

Endorsements from a successful two-term democratic president (the last one since FDR) may not mean much to you, but it means a lot to the democratic party.
