Bill Clinton the Campaign Whisperer?

The article, from Politico is about the advice President Clinton gave to Obama camp about framing Romney the Presidential candidate;


Barack Obama’s top advisers are making a mid-“core” correction in their attacks on Mitt Romney — with a little nudge from Bill Clinton, who is finding a niche as an Obama campaign whisperer and fundraiser.
Romney, senior advisers David Plouffe and David Axelrod intoned time and again, was a political shape-shifter who lacked any real moral or political “core.”
The slogan was the Obama talking point for months. But Clinton, echoing survey data presented by Obama’s own pollster Joel Benenson, quietly argued that the empty-core approach failed to capitalize on what they see as Romney’s greatest vulnerability: An embrace of a brand of tea party conservatism that turns off Hispanics, women and moderate independents.


It's been noted that the only reason why President Obama did not choose Hillary Clinton as his Vice-President was that his advisors were overly concern that President Clinton would be giving his advice all over the the place and they would not be able to control him.  Oddly enough, President Clinton has been a constant and consistent advisor to this President.  Thank God!!
