(CNN) – Bill Clinton has long pointed out he has enjoyed a good relationship with John McCain, but for a moment the former president almost sounded like a surrogate for the Republican presidential nominee Thursday morning.

Appearing on ABC's Good Morning America, Clinton said McCain's move to suspend his campaign and request a delay in the first presidential debate was a move done in "good faith," rather than as a stunt to halt falling poll numbers as several Democrats have alleged.

"I presume he did that in good faith since I know he wanted — I remember he asked for more debates to go all around the country and so I don't think we ought to overly parse that," Clinton said, sounding a familiar McCain Campaign talking point.

A few hours later Clinton lavished praise on McCain as he introduced him at the Clinton Global Initiative forum, saying Republican presidential nominee had taken the lead in his party when it comes to climate change.

"When most people in his party were thinking that global warming was overstated and maybe even a myth — he decided to look into it," he said.

The former president also described the two trips that McCain took with his wife Hillary Clinton, “the junior senator from New York," to look into the issue.

The Clintons are obviously for McCain.

i don't really know who this was directed at but mccains got a pretty good history of being right. such is what comes from experience, and casually courting the idea of giving your party the finger when you disagree. not unlike clinton in this situation now that i think of it.

I wonder if McCain can ask Clinton to be part of his cabinet.

I do not want to know why you want to know that.

Where are the liberals on this site when former President Bill Clinton continuously implies that John McCain would make a better president than Barack Obama, only giving limited lip service to the Obama campaign to save his wife's career with the Dems.

If those same libs who are backing Obama today could vote for Clinton instead of BO, they would; yet, they totally ignore what Bill Clinton has to say on the matter. If that isn't two faced and self-serving I don't know what is? Of course, they are liberals so I guess we have to give them a break!

Sounds more like BC is praising McSame for acting like a Democrat.
