How much did Bill Clinton's Campaigning help Obama
WPADEM:
Almost forgotten by history, former President Bill Clinton gave a rousing speech nominating President Obama for reelection in 2012. Obama later remarked that Clinton was the "Secretary of Explaining Stuff." Clinton would campaign heavily for Obama during the Fall campaign.
In the aftermath of the election, which Obama won decisively, it was one of the biggest stories of the campaign. And what the future implications might be. It made a lot of people ponder what Clinton could have done for Gore in 2000.
But how much did Bill Clinton help President Obama?

I doubt it made much difference. The leak of Romney's "47% comment" and then Hurricane Sandy were really the defining moments.
Bootes Void:
This was the time when most dem voters were meh about Obama but really loved Bill Clinton especially his 90s economic record
Alben Barkley:
I remember that speech very well. Insane how within eight years even his own party had turned on him so much he barely got a role in the 2020 convention or campaign.
Shame.
Also yeah Gore distancing himself from Clinton and refusing to let him campaign for him is one of the greatest blunders in political history.

Yup, I remember those days well. Guess I'm one of the few who never really left them...
