KING: A couple of quick things, Senator. Would you, in your administration, make use of Bill Clinton?

OBAMA: Absolutely. I think that, you know, Bill Clinton is a brilliant statesman and politician, and I think that any president would want to use his skills and his relationships around the world.

By the way, I would reach out to the first George Bush. You know, one of the things that I think George H.W. Bush doesn't get enough credit for was his foreign policy team and the way that he helped negotiate the end of the Cold War and prosecuted the Gulf War. That cost us 20 billion dollars. That's all it cost. It was extremely successful. I think there were a lot of very wise people. So I want a bipartisan team that can help to provide me good advice and counsel when I'm president of the United States.

Thanks, Robert. Reading the transcript probably wasn't as good as hearing it might have been. There were lots of 'you knows' in there--not quite as eloquent without a prepared speech as I might have thought he'd be, but I suppose it's a bit harder to answer questions off the cuff. Although some of his answers did almost seem pre-thought out and more cohesive, almost as though he ran through some of the questions during breaks.

Not much I hadn't heard or read before, though. Was very surprised he'd make use of Bill Clinton in his admin, though...:)

the more I see of this guy, the more I like him. I breathlessly await the moment he lets me down by being a real person.

The title of this thread gave me an "EW!" visual that I can't get rid of now.
