MCLEAN, Virginia (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton gave a rousing endorsement of fellow Democrat Barack Obama in his first 2012 campaign appearance with the president on Sunday night, and helped him raise more than $2 million.
I think he's done a good job," "We are going the right direction under President Obama's leadership."
"I didn't run for president simply to get back to where we were in 2007. I didn't run for president simply to restore the status quo before the financial crisis. I ran for president because we had lost our way since Bill Clinton was done being president," Obama said.
Clinton applauded Obama's efforts in healthcare, clean energy promotion and student loan reform, and argued that employment levels were rebounding quickly from the financial and mortgage crises that took hold before Obama took office.
Tickets to Sunday's outdoor reception cost $1,000 and up, and Obama and Clinton later addressed a more exclusive dinner at McAuliffe's home for 80 people who paid $20,000 each. The money went to a fund supporting Obama's re-election, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.....snip~

Seems Bilbo is blind. So now he has Officially endorsed Obama. Clinton says Unemployment levels are rebounding quickly. Quite the lie there.....huh? This was all set-up by McAuliffe. Another Clinton drone.
As the New coverage reports. Obama needs this endorsement. 1000 dollars and on up just to get into the event. Then a little after dinner party at McAuliffes house where that invitation is at 20k a pop.
Now hows that.....Obama and crew are looking out for the little people? He cares for the 99% right? Thats why now he is saying he ran for the Presidency all because of Bilbo the Clown. Funny thats not what he said when he began his campaign the first time around.
