Clinton accepts challenge

Bill Clinton practices the Melbourne Shuffle The Barack Obama campaign faced a new predicament today after former President Bill Clinton accepted his challenge to a dance competition. “I would be willing to engage in a dancing competition with him," said the first white black president at a town hall meeting in Greenville, "even though he’s much thinner and younger than I am, but only if I got an age allowance.” Obama's handlers were nearly ready to meet with Clinton to discuss the possibility of bonus points when Clinton was spotted practicing at Le Pied Chaud Studio in Charleston. "My God, the man was on fire," said June Renault, an instructor at the studio. "He said he wanted to learn a few new steps, but truth be told, he already knew more than I did, so I said he should just work with what he has. I mean, I put on 'Funky Cold Medina' and he just mopped the floor with me." Obama released a statement this afternoon saying that he was far too busy to dance, and besides "it wouldn't be fair to take advantage of an old man."
