Things Turn Nasty
I, like any liberal, am a huge fan of Bill Clinton. However, I agree with Barack Obama that Clinton has recently been less than honest when discussing comments that Obama has made regarding Ronald Reagan and his criticism of the Iraq war which Bill has referred to as the "biggest fairy tale I've ever seen".
Obama has responded by saying:
Here the gloves come off and things get nasty. Hillary defends herself by claiming that she didn't say the things that Obama is upset about when it is obvious to one and all that Bill is operating as her attack dog, saying things so that she doesn't have to."President Clinton went in front of a large group, said that I had claimed that only Republicans had had any good ideas since 1980," Mr Obama said. "And then he added, 'I'm not making this up'. He was making it up and completely mischaracterising my statement."
"He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts, whether it's about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organising in Las Vegas," Mr Obama complained . "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."
The Obama campaign has released a recording (mp3) it says came from a Nevadan's answering machine of an anonymous robocall that criticizes Obama for taking money from special interests while repeating, four times, his rarely used middle name: "Hussein."Tags:
"I'm calling with some important information about Barack Hussein Obama," the call begins, before saying that "Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups but the record is clear that he does."
After mentioning his full name once more, the call concludes:
"You just can't take a chance on Barack Hussein Obama."
