I think he relates to her as a mother figure and so the affection comes easy. It does not appear like they are faking it. I actually enjoy seeing them together. She is only 5 years younger than his own mother and seems to possess many of the positive qualities that his mother had like smarts, and the ability to excel in the face of challenging obstacles. In spite of their hard fought campaign, I think she truly respects his intellect and his relationship with his wife, something she never had with Bill.

MAXIE19.... I wss totally thinking of that. Although he is totally in love with Michelle Obama. I think its a resemblance to his mother spiritually that Barack Obama respects of Hillary Clinton.

I think they will make a formidable team but I wish folks would not get so gossipy and dramatic about them.
