Obama Slams Bill Clinton (Video)

Barack Obama went on Good Morning America today to accuse former President Bill Clinton of "making statements that are not factually accurate." Or as they term it over at Fox News: Barack Obama Blasts Bill Clinton for Lying. And just in time for tonight's debate. Somebody's enjoying this, and it ain't Democrats. Why do I think Bill is not going to take this lying down?


"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—whether it’s about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas. This has become a habit, and one of the things that we’re gonna have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate."

Factcheck: President Clinton on Sen. Obama's record

"Maybe if the press was doing their job questioning Obama and looking at his record Bill Clinton wouldn't have to do it for them. It likely happened out of frustration, because so far nobody in the national press, minus the Chicago papers, have had the courage to take Obama on." -- Taylor Marsh
