On Sunday September 28, former president Bill Clinton appeared on the liberal Daily Show, hosted by Jon Stewart and aired by Comedy Central.  As much of the conversation centered on the recent economic upheavals, Clinton had many opportunities to take pot-shots at the current administration as well as the McCain campaign.  However, in contrast to the tonal turn that the presidential campaign has taken recently, Clinton chose to concentrate instead on policies that he believes need to be implemented to help the struggling economy.  Clinton advocated more stringent regulations in the lending market as a condition of the 700 billion dollar economic bailout, which ultimately failed to pass today.  Later, when prompted by Stewart to speak about what his own candidacy would be like, Clinton demurred, instead electing to throw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.  His endorsement marked the latest push by the Clinton camp to put the messy primary race in the past and concentrate on putting a Democrat in the Whitehouse.  Whether it will be enough remains to be seen.
