Barack Obama Has Private Lunch with Bill Clinton on Thursday

Sen. Barack Obama is having lunch with former President Bill Clinton in New York on Thursday afternoon.

Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, and Clinton had lunch in Clinton's Harlem office in Manhattan. Obama was in New York for the anniversary of 9/11 as he was earlier at the ceremony held at Ground Zero, the site where the World Trade Center fell.

The lunch is private so it does not appear that they are campaigning on the anniversary of September 11.

"There's nobody smarter in politics," Obama said of Clinton on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman," on Wednesday. "And he is going to be campaigning for us over the next eight weeks, which I’m thrilled by."

Clinton will campaign for Obama at a yet-to-be announced site in Florida on Sept. 29, with plans for more fundraising and events in the works. Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, is already on the campaign trail for Obama.

Letterman asked Obama if he would consider Bill Clinton for a Cabinet position if he wins.

"I think if you are a former president, you don’t take Cabinet positions," Obama said to laughter from the audience. "I think it's sort of been there, done that. It's sort of like getting Mickey Mantle to play Triple-A. You don't do it. But obviously you consult with him as often as you can, because, look, there are only a handful of people who have actually done the job."

Later Thursday night, Obama and Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain will share the same stage for the first time since the presidential campaigns began. The two will speak back-to-back at the ServiceNation Presidential Candidates Forum at Columbia University in New York.
