Obama has said that he believes in the view that the 2nd amendment grants individuals the rights to bear arms, not just 'militias'. That may not seem like a big deal, but it's currently before the Supreme court, and it's not a far-left elitist stance. I don't think this is a recent view, it's an outgrowth of his time as a teacher of constitutional law. He also believes in some regulation of firearms as well. There's a WSJ editoral to this effect awhile ago.
I'm sorry but Bill just strikes me as a loose cannon right now. Bill's lucky that Obama stepped in doo or we'd be talking about his saying that Hillary needs to go to bed early. I liked it when he went after Chris Wallace (FOX) on Iraq, but that was probably the highpoint. There's also the question of what to do about the Foundation (which I think has done some cool stuff). There's that appearance of a conflict of interest, just like on the Columbian trade deal. It's messy.
