Former president Bill Clinton, once suspicious of the political experience of Barack Obama will campaign for the Democrat presidential candidate in the remainder of the election.
This was confirmed by the Obama himself in a program of the night CBS, which indicated that "no one else is acute in politics" that former Democrat representative (1993-2001).
In an advance extract to the press, Obama said that Clinton will join his campaign "in the next eight weeks, so I'm happy."
It is expected that both almuercen together on Thursday at the office of Clinton in New York.
Obama has shifted to the Big Apple to attend, along with his Republican rival, John McCain, the commemorative events for the seventh anniversary of the attacks against the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
Matt McKenna, spokesman for Clinton, told reporters that the former president will participate in political rallies in favor of Obama in Florida next September 29, although not specified the place.
It also acts scheduled fund-raising, he said.
Thus Clinton will join the team of Obama supporters who have been deployed throughout the country to preach the message of "change" the Democrat candidate.
Senator Hillary Clinton has already participated in several acts of which was his political rival in the primaries.
During the process of primary, Clinton was one of the most staunch critics of Obama, saying that his wife, not him, had the capacity to lead the United States face challenges at home and abroad.
Clinton and Obama distances kept for nearly a month after the completion of the primary, but sought to bring positions when the former president extended his hand in a gesture of support for his campaign.
The senator for Illinois has at times been compared to Clinton, recalling that both faced Republican machinery in the midst of great economic uncertainty in the United States.
Asked by the journalist David Letterman if he would offer a political office to the former occupant of the White House in his Cabinet, Obama elicited laughter from the public when answering: "I think when you have been president, no shots of Cabinet positions."
"It's not something that is done. Although he obviously consultations as often as possible because, look, there are a handful of people who actually have done that job," he said.
The criticism of Clinton, according to observers, caused great divisions within the Democratic Party, which still tries to redress the wounds after the defeat of his wife.
In fact, Hillary Clinton has the task of adding 18 million voters who supported it in the primaries, mainly women, a column of Obama.
A challenge that is difficult with the appearance of the governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, whom the Republican candidate John McCain selected as his companion formula last August 29.
During the interview, Obama spent much of the time to clarify comments he made on Tuesday and that the Republicans have interpreted as an attack Palin.
"You can put lipstick on a pig and will remain a pig," Obama said during an electoral event in Ohio, noting that McCain's positions are similar to those of Bush.
The commentary in Spanish tantamount to saying "although the view was mona silk, mona stays."
For Obama, polvareda generated by these comments, a saying popular in the U.S., only reflects "the era of nonsense in politics."
"Only by change call (to ideas), call them otherwise not improved. It is like putting lipstick on a pig," said Obama, insisting that this is "illogical" and "most recent controversy invented by the campaign of John McCain. "
For the Democrats, the new line of attack by Republicans is nothing but a "distraction" to avoid a discussion on the most pressing issues facing the electorate.
