Mr Clinton's relationship with Mr Obama has been "frosty"
Former US President Bill Clinton has announced for the first time his support of fellow Democrat Barack Obama's bid for the White House. Mr Clinton's wife Hillary was Mr Obama's biggest rival for the party nomination, and he was often critical of Mr Obama on the campaign trail. Mr Clinton's spokesman said he was committed to working for an Obama win. Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton are to hold a joint rally on Friday, but Mr Clinton will be in Europe and will not attend. "President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States," said spokesman Matt McKenna.
