And the Obama at the Hatfield and mccoys yet of the Democratic Party through a penny they have there's no love lost you know that between these two.

When Lyndon Johnson almost do you railed.

John Kennedy's nomination by leaking into the press that he had Addison's disease yeah than what the Kennedy -- Turned around and nominated him as his vice presidential campaign right there's there's no shame in politics and I think Obama needs Clinton.

Campaign at this convention.

Do you think it will walk in the sense that Bill Clinton appearing at the convention will get those white middle class voters back to the Democrats you think it will woke.

When -- -- what most people.

Realize.

That president Obama's policies are much more to the left about the president -- You know when Bill Clinton gets up and gives -- speech he sucked the air right out of that room I think he's gonna give a fantastic speech.

I think he's going to overshadow everybody else the campaign.

Even Barack Obama I think he's gonna do a good job for Obama but I think he's gonna do a better job for himself in the Clinton brand -- for 2000.

Since the -- -- 66%.

Approval for Bill Clinton.

Making him the most popular man in our country I would submit that Barack Obama is very happy for what you said to happen.

It's a perfectly good result for the Obama camp absolutely.

Yeah that's right out now on the left anti capitalist anti Wall Street anti -- she'll make a big appearance at the convention is that a good move for the president.

It's a move for his left wing base with you know they're not entirely happy with Obama.

For a variety of never gonna lose the left wing -- him -- well there's a lot of lack of enthusiasm apart.

On the left wing base for this guy because he's -- Afghanistan the drone strikes will be kinda think that the left doesn't like.

I think she could bring along.

These people who and make him a little more enthusiasts -- got to move on real fast but ad -- what a pleasure thanks for joining thank you so much of.
