Bill Clinton is steamed:

A senior Democrat who worked for Mr Clinton has revealed that he recently told friends Mr Obama could “kiss my ass” in return for his support.

What’s more, he’s not betting on O.:

A second source said that the former president has kept his distance because he still does not believe Mr Obama can win the election.

On the other hand, O. got “effusive,” said UK Telegraph:

“I know how much we need both Bill and Hillary Clinton as a party. They have done so much great work. We need them badly.”

So what?

The Democrat told the Telegraph: “He’s been angry for a while. But everyone thought he would get over it. He hasn’t. I’ve spoken to a couple of people who he’s been in contact with and he is mad as hell.

“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote kiss my ass close quote, if he wants his support.

“You can’t talk like that about Obama – he’s the nominee of your party, not some house boy you can order around. . . .

Ouch.
