Bill set to campaign for Obama...

There was some talk over the last few days that Bill Clinton was still upset with Barack Obama over the primaries. Whatever tension there was seems to be gone today following a phone conversation between the two.

From the Obama press office:

Senator Obama had a terrific conversation with President Clinton and is honored to have his support in this campaign. He has always believed that Bill Clinton is one of this nation's great leaders and most brilliant minds, and looks forward to seeing him on the campaign trail and receiving his counsel in the months to come.

Bill Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna also puts out a statement:

President Clinton had a very good conversation with Senator Obama today. He renewed his offer to do whatever he can to ensure Senator Obama is our next President.

President Clinton continues to be impressed by Senator Obama and the campaign he has run, and looks forward to campaigning for and with him in the months to come. The President believes that Senator Obama has been a great inspiration for millions of people around the country, and he knows that he will bring the change America needs as our next President.

Expect a big Obama/Bill Clinton joint rally at some point, and expect it to get a lot of media attention.
