Obama confronts Bill Clinton over campaign attacks |
2008-01-22 |
![]() Tackling a figure of Clinton's stature in such a public way is risky, though less so than it would have been a few weeks ago. Clinton's derogatory and often tetchy remarks have alienated and angered many senior Democrats previously loyal to Clinton, particularly African-Americans. In an interview with ABC television, Obama said: "You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling. "He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts... This has become a habit, and one of the things that we're going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he's making statements that are not factually accurate." |

#5 I don't see how this lying, cheating criminal who performed some soft-shoe on the Arsinio Hall show being called black is in any way a positive statement concerning Blacks. |

#4 #3 The man who would be the Second Black President sniping at the First Black President and vice versa. How...disconcerting. Disconcerting yes, but very tribo-congolese. |
