Bill Clinton says Obama campaign played 'race card' on him From Times Wire Services April 23, 2008
PITTSBURGH -- Former President Clinton's stumbles on the campaign trail have sometimes put the focus more on himself than on his wife.

On Monday, he accused the Barack Obama campaign of playing "the race card" on him after the South Carolina primary, a charge that drew a rebuke from Obama.

Clinton told a Philadelphia radio station that his comments were "twisted" after he likened Obama's primary victory in the state to Jesse Jackson's.

Clinton was asked if he regretted the comparison after a Pennsylvania official said she thought he was marginalizing Obama as "the black candidate."

"No, I think that they played the race card on me," he said. "We now know from memos from the campaign and everything that they planned to do it all along."

Obama scoffed at Clinton's remarks.

"Hold on a second: So former President Clinton dismissed my victory in South Carolina as being similar to Jesse Jackson, and he's suggesting that somehow I had something to do with it?" Obama asked reporters at a Pittsburgh diner Monday. "OK, well, you better ask him what he meant by that."

On Tuesday, the former president brushed off a reporter's questions about his race comment. "I said what I said," Clinton said. "You always follow me around and play these little games, and I'm not going to play your games today. This is a day about election day."

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that she had no comment on the matter, saying she wanted to focus on "what voters are focused on."

At first I thought that Bill Clinton was subconsciously trying to sabotage his wife’s campaign, because he seemed to just keep screwing up and reminding everyone about her campaign slip ups, but he could just be trying to drag Obama down into the mud and into a dirty brawl with him, so that Obama doesn’t look like much more than just another politician and then Hillary has the advantage of being considerably more experienced when comparing the two....

Naah, Obama's popularity is merely a latest Movement that has been made possible by liberal media and liberal education in public schooling. Throw in the internet and MTV, and presto! You've got a new liberal Fuhrer. Hitler came to power the same way, via media manipulation and highly gullible 18-24's.

And like all Movements, Obama's will end the same way...with lots of toilet paper and a lit match.

Bill Clinton is just another jacks@ss in a fancy suit. He's desperate, plain and simple. Hacksaw, you are probably still right about him sabotaging his wife's chances because of the "competition" issue. He knew exactly what he was saying and it's bullsh**.

Pablo, your last sentence is so true. LOL

dprin said on 4/23/08 "Drey, there is nothing wrong with Obama taking care of his family, he has done that quite well as far as I can see. But, if he is our President, he has to "lump" his family in with the rest of us as a whole."

Dprin said on 4/8/08 “he hasn't done right by his children since the day they were born. he CHOOSES to continually & willingly expose them to that hate monger racist crook he calls his "pastor". that is NOT doing right by your children. unless of course he truley IS a racist, then he THINKS he's doing the right thing by allowing them to be indoctrinated into this

Can anyone say Flip Flop!!!!!! lol

Pabo_kielbasa your comment was right on the money. The media does make much of Obamas sly comments.Obama and his followers avoid the truth by twisting words around.

dprin:

You set yourself up. What your saying goes right along with everything else, it does not make any sense, and that was the only way you could justify "your" flip flop and disingenuous
rhetoric.

The problem with you dprin, as I have told you before, is comprehension. so what you call having it both ways, is a matter of correct comprehension.

dprin:

Yeah, you say it was a set-up because you can't call it anything else because you were "busted".

Now if it was a set-up, as you so proudly proclaim, what does that say about you?

Only devious people would think like and behave like that. There are people who do need to resort to those type of tactics and that is because they are irresolute on substance.

So take your badge of "honor" of being devious. irresolute and disingenuous and wear it proudly dprin.

By the way, what was the point you were making?and why was it important to you?

For someone who has a high regard for character and integrity you just confirmed your lack of it.

People of high character and integrity will behave with high character and integrity at all times in their life and would not resort to "set-up tactics". Character and integrity is not a pick and choose proposition, or is it?

The "Obamabaloney" as you call it, is only being bought and sold by those of you on this blog who want to label him a Muslim and a Racist.

I am not buying what you are selling.

i support clinton by a slight edge but i still like to think of obama as half white not half black. this comment would be as naive as it seems the whole USA forgets he is not BLACK. he is a mix of races. as the majority of the USA is. you may be white, but i bet you are mixed with a euroean blender. is a carribean person black, hispanic, malato...etc the public is always so bent on lableing they forget one important thing, THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER REPUBLICAN!!! PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BEHINDS AND UNITE, or we will suffer as a whole.

medea, not selling anything. besides, IF your "messiah" is elected, he will tax the BLEEP out of you & all the others who vote for him, leaving nothing left to buy anything, except of course whatever HE'S selling.

but then, you aren't really BUYING (suggesting a choice), you are just forced to PAY.
