You know, because Obama is so widely loved.

(The Hill) — Former President Clinton will be surprised if President Obama doesn’t get reelected.

Asked in an interview with CNBC on Friday if he thought Obama would win a second term, Clinton said, “I do, yeah.”

“I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t win,” he said.

Clinton’s optimistic comment about Obama’s presidential prospects contrast with ones he made during the early primary months of the last presidential election.
