A spokesman for Bill Clinton issued a statement saying that the former president "is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States." However, despite the one-line released statement from his spokesman, Clinton still has yet to publicly endorse the presumptive nominee of his party.

Speaking at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami over the weekend, where Obama had spoken just a day earlier, Clinton ignored reporters' questions of whether he would endorse Obama. Carl Cannon notes that Clinton mentioned Obama just once in his speech at the Miami conference, "And then, it was only to praise Obama for supporting a Clinton administration initiative."
