It seems as though for all the attention Hillary gets for her campaign, Bill receives it as well. We constantly hear about his remarks and opinions on several subjects. Ms. Clinton recently talked about the Clinton era and received laughter. Bill is still a big asset and symbol that changes many peoples feelings towards her. Hillary made some comments that even though there was turmoil some good things did happen when Bill was president.
The argument against her is, did Hillary really change her ideas, or has she kept the same ones she had back in the '90s. I know I base my opinion about what she does now, but many people do not. Bill should have nothing to do with her campaign.

"Obama Aide: Clinton Adviser’s Decision to Quit the ‘Right Thing’"
Due to recent accusations about Obama's adolescent drug usage, a campaigner for Clinton decided to pull himself out. The extent to which this accusation went was just too far.

"When Football Moves to the Head of the Class"
College sports are becoming even more popular and 'important.' So much so that some people go to college just to play them, not to study. Either people are losing their sense of what college is supposed to be for, or America's emphasis on college education is changing. The message being sent out to these young-adults is be involved in what's happening now, not where you will be in ten years. The best examples of this are three of the country's most talented quarterbacks - Dennis Dixon, Colt Brennan and Matt Ryan. They spend more time watching film than studying in class. Dixon's only class is billiards. Brennan, take only three classes, one of which is CPR. Ryan has a degree, but needs three classes to stay at the university so he takes 3 night classes all on different days once a week. Brennan said, "Basically, what your focus is on is Saturday and the game. The distractions are a lot less." Althought they are great athletes I feel that they need to see how this will effect them later on. As William C. Friday, former North Carolina president says, "intercollegiate athletics is becoming an entertainment industry." These players only care about one thing, making it to the professional level. If somehow they aren't able to play...what other options will they have?
