Last night Hillary Clinton, to say the least, did what she needed to do. I think she did the best she could to rally her supporters behind Barack Obama. Hillary's speech had Bill Clinton, along with so many others, in tears. Many people wonder if she meant what she said up there on that podium, if she really does want Senator Obama to win. All I have to say to those people is this: I don't know anyone who could fake a smile like that. Hillary was truly happy to be there and truly does want Barack Obama in the White House.

I was confident that Hillary would do what she needed to do. I am a little more skeptical about Bubba (Bill Clinton) who is slated to speak tonight. It may be a good idea for him to repent a little bit, saying something like, "I have said some stupid things during this campaign, but that was the past. We don't have the time to think about the past or talk about the past. But we desperately need Barack Obama in the White House so we can fix the mistakes of the past." Bill cannot afford to make any blunders tonight; he has made enough this year. Bubba needs to make sure that his support for Barack Obama comes accross as genuine. Knowing him, we don't know what he'll say. But if for no better reason than your own reputation Bill, don't say anything stupid.
