I wanna hear that, Hillary Clinton jumped in.
Everyone laughed, then Obama got the better of it: Hillary, he said, Im looking forward to you advising me, as well.

Landrieu Locked in Tight Re-Election Battle

John DiStaso: Reports of New Hampshire as a firewall for Hillary Clinton have apparently been greatly jonathan winters New Hampshire is no longer her firewall. Its a battleground, a free for all, and dare we say? a potential last stand for the former Granite State Democratic frontrunner.
It is without a doubt the most unpredictable roller coaster ride we’ve seen in a Republican primary since the rise of the primary in the 1960s.
Republican strategist Ralph Reed, quoted by Time magazine.
Clinton campaign insiders are increasingly questioning the cautious, poll-driven approach taken by Mark Penn, Sen. Hillary Clintons top political aide, Newday reports. With Clintons lead fading in most early state and national polls, dissatisfaction is growing with Penn, who some say has mistakenly run Clinton as a de facto incumbent.
Said on insider: There are two people who have come up with this strategy one Hillary Clinton and one Mark Penn. Mark wanted to run ralph reed basically, for re-election, and we are seeing what happened.
Clintons aides insist that no shake-up is imminent and that Penn still has her ear. But they concede Bill Clinton has taken a more active behind-the-scenes role as her campaign flags.
The issue: Many aides want Clinton to go on the offensive but Penn thinks attacks will only drive up Clintons already high negatives.
