Former President Bill Clinton collaborated with President Barack Obama Monday night in New York City to raise more than $3 million for Obama’s re-election campaign.
Clinton veered off message last week when he offered praise of Mitt Romney’s business career while also questioning the wisdom of the Obama campaign’s attacks against the Republican nominee’s career at the private equity firm Bain Capital. But Clinton left no doubt who he backs in the 2012 race at Monday’s fundraiser, telling supporters it is “essential” to re-elect Obama.
