In an interview with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo former president Bill Clinton called John McCain a great man and praised His wife’s economic plan.
From Political Radar.
Former President Bill Clinton has largely kept himself out of the public eye since his wife lost the Democratic primary to Barack Obama.
However in a rare television interview tonight, the former president called Republican presidential candidate John McCain “a great man” and praised GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as an “instinctively effective candidate.”
On a day when Obama sought to convince voters that he’s best able to handle the economic crisis, the former president said it was his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., who gave today “the most detailed position.”
In an interview with CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo, Clinton, who has tried to put to rest rumors of tensions between himself and Obama said, “I’ve never concealed my admiration and affection for Sen. McCain. I think he’s a great man.
“But, I think, on the issues that matter to our future, the Obama-Biden team is, is more right,” Clinton said of the Democratic ticket. “And I believe they’re gonna win. But, I think that it will be competitive until the end.”
A ringing endorsement it wasn’t.
And you wonder why we haven’t seen more of Bill on the campaign trail.

4 Comments for Bill Clinton Praises John McCain
It’s so obvious the Clinton’s want McCain to win. I heard the interview on XM radio in my car, so I couldn’t get a take on body language. Just listening to Bill Clinton it became clear real quick that he has no use for Obama.
I don’t blame the Clinton’s for disliking Obama and I think it would have been a step down for Hillary if she was offered and accepted the VP slot on his ticket. If he gets elected it would be a career killer for her if she was on the ticket because Obama is another Jimmy Carter.
Bet you 5 dollars Bill and Hillary vote for McCain. I think I’m gonna ask them. In their own little secret way I picture them giving each other high-fives knowing this would be the launch of Hillary’s (and Bill’s) 2012 campaign. I kinda miss the Clintons with what we will face if Mr. Obama gets the win. OUCH!
Heaven help us if Obama does win. This country needs a strong leader now more than ever, and as usual the Democrats serve up a candidate who would throw us to the wolves rather than lead.
I found this great blog on another thread in this forum – I urge you all to read it – The Trojan Candidate – http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/the-trojan-candidate/#more-3261
Nobody on this planet knows more about Obama’s flaws and dirty secrets than the Clintons’. Their need for money to releive campaign debt and their loyalty to the democratic party prevent them from exposing Obama. Poor Bill must bite nearly through his bottom lip everytime he is asked about Obama and has to issue a positive reply.
