“give me a call” …. why?

PoliticalWire: ABC News got interesting video of former President Clinton speaking to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) backstage at a forum on the national debt.

Clinton praised the Democratic victory in NY-26 yesterday but added, “I hope Democrats don’t use this as an excuse to do nothing.”

Ryan responds: “My guess is it’s going to sink into paralysis is what’s going to happen. And you know the math. It’s just, I mean, we knew we were putting ourselves out there. You gotta start this. You gotta get out there. You gotta get this thing moving.”

They parted with Clinton telling Ryan that if he ever wanted to talk about it, he should “give me a call.”

Thank you Lisa

by Callie Shell: “During the campaign, Barack and Michelle would often not see each other for a week. And then they would meet in a back hallway somewhere and would just look at each other and embrace and talk and say, ‘How you doing?’ It was obvious that they had talked about doing this, they had come together to do it, that she is his best friend and vice versa. They’re madly in love with one another. He has this great appreciation for his wife, he knows that she’s the best part of him.” (October 2008, backstage at a Bruce Springsteen/Billy Joel concert)
