QUICK!  MAKE SURE BARACK DOESN'T SEE THIS – AT 9:04 P.M. ET:  Obama comes with enough resentments.  He doesn't need one more.  Can you imagine what they think of this at the White House?  From The Hill:

Embattled Democrats are increasingly turning to former President Bill Clinton to prop up their campaigns in the final weeks before November's midterm elections.

The former president is far and away the biggest draw for the party less than a month out, hitting races in states where Democrats would rather President Obama stay away.

With Obama's campaign schedule featuring recent stops in solidly Democratic states like California, Delaware and Maryland, it's Clinton who is helping Democrats trying to win over centrists and independents in states like West Virginia, Kentucky and Arkansas.

I mean, the man goes to states "where Democrats would rather President Obama stay away."  This will do wonders for Obama's relationship with his secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, married in a strange sort of way to Bill.  I'll bet someone puts a tack on her chair before the next Cabinet meeting. 

Bill Clinton has been officially rehabilitated.  No one mentions Monica anymore. 

Another one who must be dyin' is Professor of Peanuts and Nobel laureate Jimmah Carter.  No one asks him to campaign, even in states where Obama can't go.  He can only get a campaigning gig overseas, preferably in a hostile country. 

GREAT MOMENT IN HISTORY:  The moment when elder statesman Bill Clinton leads a Democratic delegation to the White House in late 2011, to ask Barack Obama to step aside for the 2012 election.  Will it happen?  I think the odds are ten to one against...today.  Those odds might change.
