In Late Night Rally, Bill Clinton Sings Obama’s Praises

Looks like Bill is jumping on the band wagon a bit late.

Was it Bill didn't want to do it? Or, was it Obama figured he didn't need him?

I am down here in Florida and this event and this event is not big news.

clipped from blogs.wsj.com Barack Obama and ex-President Bill Clinton attended their first rally together, forming a small mutual admiration society before a crowd of about 35,000. Clinton has in the past been criticized by Democrats for being too complimentary of Obama’s rival John McCain, but on Wednesday night he lavished praise on the Illinois senator, starting with his choice of vice president, Sen. Joe Biden. “He hit that one out of the park folks,’’ Clinton said. He then launched into a complicated checklist, calling Obama a smart, competent and efficient chief executive. “Folks, we can’t fool with this — our country hangs in the balance,’’ Clinton said. “Folks, this man should be our president.’’ For his part, Obama praised Clinton’s presidency. “In case all of you forgot, this is what it’s like to have a great president,’’ Obama said. “We all wish the last eight years looked more like the Clinton years.’’ Obama concluded by saying he was proud to be friends with the former first couple.

clipped from blogs.wsj.com Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a tough-to-treat infection that in recent years has migrated out of the hospital and into the community. The cases above come from the country practice of WSJ.com columnist Ben Brewer, who writes this week about his experience treating the infection. clipped from online.wsj.com We all harbor skin bacteria. Some bugs are worse than others. About 25% to 30% of people carry staph bacteria on the skin or in the nose and can pass it to others. Only about 1% of the population is walking around with MRSA. Even so, nearly 18,650 people died from MRSA infection and 94,000 others were seriously sickened in 2005, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The basics of MRSA prevention are hand washing, wiping down surfaces and covering cuts. Keeping personal care items separated from others also helps. For more information on MRSA and how to prevent its spread, see this report from the Mayo Clinic.

CDT/Michelle Bixby “People can you feel it? Love is everywhere.” Brett Parnes, 36, a Boulder, Colo., attorney, flew to Philadelphia first thing Monday, drove a rental to State College (his first time here) and spent virtually all evening in what seemed like a state of transport — dancing barefoot alone back and forth with barely a break across the Jordan Center floor. “This is a great town, with great vibes, and my favorite bands are here,” said Parnes, who planned to fly back to Colorado today. Kat Lawlor, 16, took the day off from Ipswich High School in Ipswich, Mass., and arrived with three pals from Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Teacher’s aide Keira Reilly, 18, of Plymouth, N.H., said she came early “to rage the parking lot” outside Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, where early arrivals were directed.

Do you believe Sarah Palin is qualified to assume the roll of the Presidency?
