(New York) In his first press conference since releasing a written statement through his spokesperson in support of Barack Obama's candidacy, former President Bill Clinton said he would campaign with his wife’s former opponent "whenever he asks."

“We had a good talk and he said he wanted me to campaign with him and I said I was eager to do so,” Clinton said at a press conference to announce his foundation's breakthrough on Malaria drug prices.

Clinton pointed out that Sen. Obama is currently gearing up for his overseas trip.

“He is busier than I am on politics anyway,” Clinton said. “I just told him whenever he wanted to do it, I was ready, so it is basically on their timetable.”

(CHICAGO) Barack Obama defended Bill Clinton today for not giving him a splashy endorsement, explaining that the former president probably did not want to upstage his wife.

Bill Clinton gave his support to Obama yesterday but did so through a spokesman. Hillary Clinton explained that her husband is currently in Europe to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s birthday and thus could only issue a written statement.

Obama offered words of praise for both Clintons today, calling Bill Clinton a “brilliant politician” and Hillary Clinton a “terrific campaigner.”
