Hillary Clinton brushed off suggestions on Wednesday that her husband, 
former President Bill Clinton, does not seem to share her enthusiasm for 
campaigning for Democratic White House candidate Barack Obama.

"He has said he will do what ever can and whatever he is asked to do," 
Clinton said, a day after her husband's spokesman issued a one-sentence 
statement of support for Obama, who will face Republican John McCain in 
the November election.

The former president, who gave Obama's energy policy faint praise over 
the weekend, has not yet said in public that he would back Obama who 
narrowly defeated his wife for the party's presidential nomination in a 
rough-and-tumble campaign.

"But he'll get there," the aide said. "She's moving on quickly."

Hillary Clinton, who conceded defeat and endorsed Obama on June 7, will 
hold her first party unity event with the senator from Illinois on 
Friday in Unity, New Hampshire.

She met privately on Wednesday with Democrats in the House of 
Representatives, a day after returning to Congress and being embraced by 
fellow Senate Democrats at a closed-door
