In a better-late-than-never moment, former President Bill Clinton has joined to help his wife in her latest gambit to clear herself of presidential campaign debt. A day after we noted how Bill issued a competing fundraising letter for his AIDS project just 21/2 hours after Hillary sent out her own plea for campaign money, Bubba is asking Clinton friends to pony up just $5 for a chance at dinner with Hillary. The letter includes some pretty good make-up words. "During the campaign, Hillary and I didn't have the chance to eat together much because we were usually on the trail in different states. Now that the campaign's over, I'm glad we can share more meals again," he writes. Here's the letter:

Hillary Clinton forget the debt and just write a book! You may be Vice President and when that is over you could write many books and speaking tours that would eliminate any debt. Remember how quickly Bill wrote off his debts after his presidency? Go Girl!

Bill, you claim to be Baptist, Hillary you have stated your Faith as a Methodist is important to you. As Christians, we should all be aware, that God is in Control. When you reached the end of the financial state of your Campaign did you not spend time to think that there may be a reason WHY. I supported you in the Presidency 100% and when the "scandal broke "I wrote a beautiful poem but did not send it to you. I have repeated namy times that so much of "That Stuff" was unfairly perpetrated, but at this time, please the pair of you "Grow Up" and don't sabotage this Election infighting and still thinking you should be at the helm. This Country is at a big crossroads, and for the sake of our young folks give them a chance, it sure can't be any worse than what we have been subjected to these last 8 years. I am 80 years old, and I know what I am talking about. It's time to be gratefukl for what you had, but the torch needs to be passed peacefully. God Bless, Regina.-- You know we all came into this world the same way, innocent but with the power of choice. What's your choice now for the good of all Democrats.?

Lose the November election we older voters are fed up with the infantile actions of Obama people. I'm voting for McCain! Let the young generation of blacks and women figure out they just lost their best chance at a win in November. I won't vote for inexperience or a self-important, arrogant couple to occupy the White House. Barack OBAMA is about feeling sorry for himself and exacting his self-pity on the country.

THE ONLY STRONG PERSON WHO CAN ACTUALLY GET US OUT OF THE MESS WE ARE IN IS HILLARY CLINTON. So when we vote we will vote for an oldeer face who is trying to reach out to all people and not just a slice of America who can't see beyond the color of his skin!
