I don't think that I know how to do this "link thing", but I wanted to submit this information that was in the Telegraph[a British newspaper]. Here it goes:

O.K. I think that "link" didn't work. :>( I found the story on huffpo. The title "Bill Clinton says Barack Obama Must "Kiss my A$$" for His Support. Here was that "link": (I hope): www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/29/bill-clinton-.... If this doesn't work - HELP!! :>)
