At Clinton initiative, Romney jokes about getting election-year bounce from former president | StarTribune.com
Maybe Bill would like to get an ambassador's job from Romney.

Bill previously endorsed Romney as being more than capable of being president.
“There is no question that in terms of getting up and going to the office and basically performing the essential functions of the office, a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold,” Clinton said of Romney

That, of course ... was without reference to the head-to-head contest between the President and Willard, and before Willard started sticking both feet in his mouth and behaving badly and attacking half the nation including soldiers, retired military, seniors.

Despite the public images people who actually know Obama don't like him much whereas people who actually know Romney do. Obama is simply more media savvy but has a general contempt for most people.

Romney previously endorsed national healthcare, including individual mandates, till he felt obligated to please his financial backers and flip-flopped.

Romneycare was not national healthcare. It was state healthcare that the vast majority of his liberal constituents and legislators wanted. That is working with an opposing party. The majority of people nationally despise Obamacare. Big difference.

And you know this, how? Did he share this with you in private quarters?

Didn't Romney show his obvious contempt when he dismissed 47% of the U.S. population?

It was hardly an endorsement. What he said in the CNN interview was: "I don't think that we ought to get into the position where we say 'This is bad work. This is good work,'" Clinton said. "The man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold." Then a little later in the interview, Clinton said the Obama would beat Romney by 5-6 points.

And Edward: You're full of beans in your characterization of people not liking Obama much.
