Bill Clinton's advice to Barack Obama

From Politico.com, an "educated guess" as to the advice that Bill Clinton gave to Obama in their meeting yesterday. FYI, the person who wrote this article has also written a couple of positive books about Clinton, so I kind of wonder if this is really just an educated guess.... I recommend readng the whole article if it's of interest to you (link is below). Here's the summary:

1. Don’t make this about you.
2. Define yourself through policies—yours and theirs.
3. Have more fun.
4. Make the election about something big.
5. Spend more time speaking to your opponents.
6. Don’t take Hillary voters for granted.
7. Stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking.
8. And while you are it, give me an apology.
