Barack Seeking Support!

When President Barack Obama hastily paraded former president Bill Clinton out for a press briefing on Friday, it gave a hint of desperation for all of the criticism that President Obama has received for agreeing to extend the Bush tax cuts that have been in effect for 10 years. Democrats have berated the President for caving in to Republican pressure.

President Obama did what makes political sense at a time when the economy is still in turmoil. Getting Bill Clinton to c0-sign on the measure should give him some credibility with the American people, something he's been searching for since he took office nearly 2 years ago.

Rahm Wants To Be Mayor of Chicago!

President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told television show host Charlie Rose in a recent interview that he would like to become mayor of Chicago sometime in the near future according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Manuel was once an aide for present mayor Richard Daley and is Chicago born.

It's Up To Bill!

While The Guardian is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton will be accepting President-elect Barack Obama's offer to become Secretary of State, the New York Daily News is reporting that former president Bill Clinton must first be willing to open up on his fundraising and money that's been earned to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. Bill Clinton's foundation has reportedly received millions of dollars from foreign sources and he's commanded as much as $300,000 per speech that he's given through his world travels.

Ultimately Bill will not want to be the barrier that prevents Hillary from becoming Secretary of State, so I'm sure he'll open up his financial books as much as he needs to so that Hillary can be properly vetted. He owes her that much.
