If I was making decisions in the Obama campaign, I think I'd be extremely careful on how I handled the Bill Clinton question. Considering the negative press he caused with his comments before and the bad blood that was evident between him and Barack, a careful approach is what is needed now. Eventually he might be able to be a positive influence but IMO, Bill definitely needs some reigning in and that doesn't seem to be something easy to do.

He says he's ready to do whatever - I wonder if that includes making no public statements until after the election?

Hillary will make him behave. She'll threaten him with time-out if he doesn't
