Bill Clinton Dominates the News - This week President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney continued to focus on fundraising and courting supporters, but it was former President Bill Clinton who made most of the headlines. The president's most visible surrogate sent mixed messages with statements that most often support Obama and his re-election bid, but sometimes seemed to undermine him.

Barack Obama - "I used to say back in 2008, I’m not a perfect man, and haven’t been and won't be a perfect president. Nobody is. But what I told you was I’d always tell you what I thought, I’d always tell you where I stood, and I’d wake up every single morning fighting as hard as I knew how to make life better for the American people. And I have kept that promise," President Obama said at a fundraiser in New York this week.(Photo: EPA/JUSTIN LANE/Landov)

Bill Clinton - "I didn't have any idea, when I was giving that answer, that I was wading into some controversy in the campaign, because I haven't seen the ads, and I'm not following it, and I'm not really part of it," former President Bill Clinton said in a PBS interview in response to his praise of Mitt Romney. He added that "business experience doesn't guarantee success" as president.(Photo: Courtesy PBS)

Bill Clinton - "Who would have thought, after years and years, even decades, in which the Republican right attacked "old Europe," that they would embrace the economic policies of the eurozone — austerity and unemployment now at all costs," Clinton said at an Obama fundraiser. "I mean after all, their unemployment rate is 11 percent, and ours is 8 — we can get right up there if we just adopt their policies."        (Photo: REUTERS/Larry Downing)

Jesse Jackson Sr. - “[George] Wallace tried to deny the right to vote and [Gov. Scott] Walker’s trying to limit access to voting with the voter ID scheme and the roll purging,” Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. told Politico. “What happened in the South with Wallace as the governor of Alabama, it symbolized the Southern Manifesto: the resistance to voting and the resistance for workers right to organize. … What’s happening in Wisconsin is an attempt to revert to that time.”(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)
