Obama takes off the gloves against Hillary and Bill Clinton
AAPP: Finally Barack Obama is taking off the gloves. He is not going to sit there like so many other black Democrats and let the Clintons treat him like a second class American citizens. It's time for him to fight for what he wants. They have decided to marginalize his presidency quest as the black man against a white woman, he should stay on message, but also bring out his own back-up, Michelle Obama.
Politico reports, " Sen. Barack Obama launched Sunday what his top aides described as a more aggressive bid to challenge “unbelievable falsehoods” pressed last week in Nevada by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton."
Politico notes, With Obama’s new strategy, the Democratic nomination fight took on a new contour: It’s Obama versus two Clintons, not just one. And the line of attack emerging from his second consecutive primary loss appears to be this: The Clintons are a couple whose words cannot always be trusted.
“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,” Obama told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview taped Sunday and set to air Monday. “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.”
