CNN

Racebaiting was initiated by the Obama SC Campaign. Tim Russert confirmed this in the Las Vegas debate with Obama. My fellow citizens, accuracy in your statements and information is key. You can search for the debate transcripts online. It occurred around 4min. 30 sec. into the debate.

At least five other presidents had extramarital affairs while in office – search "U.S. Presidents" and you will find out for yourselves. Other presidents didn't get impeached because they were never probed about their affairs. That IS the only difference. Republicans were simply trying to get a Democratic president out of office. It never really was anyone else's business what transpired in their marriage. It is not part of a job qualification or disqualification. I recall very clearly public opinion when this was going on and most people thought the suit was frivolous. Don't spin things to benefit your interests.

President Clinton was one of our finest Presidents. His job performance was admirable. That's what a presidency is a job, but a very important one that requires someone with experience and knowledge in order to have good judgment and make approprite decisions. All of these qualities are co-dependent; without one, you can't have the other.

Once you read his comments, you realize he hasn't learned a thing. The thrill is gone, I've had it with him.

I am black, who talk about race? Obama!!!!!!!!!, you can fool all the blacks but not me. The Cliton's are more black than you and ur wife Mitchell. Mrs President Hilary tell the former president that was kind to have apologize but he holds no explanation to anyone not even the cheap media.

Obama you will be maybe 2024 as the Vision of Charles Taylor. Vote Hilary for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ONLY people falling for this act are the Media and Clinton surrogates. As we saw in CA when 81% of the African American (AA) STILL voted for Obama. The AA electorate is NOT going to just forget what Bill and Hillary did by playing the Race card in NH and SC against Obama.

If the Clintons know half as much about AA as they claim. Then the Clintons would not have risks playing the Race Card and since they did play it. Then Clintons should know that AA DO NOT forget those who burned the AA… PERIOD.

The AA are also likely to stay at home and NOT vote if Hillary is on the ticket. For AA McCain would be an improvement from Bush any way you slice that one.

AA took that VERY SERIOUS CLINTONS.

Bill, you are a liar, though that is not new.

Bill the former president,seems to confess he made a mistake,but is this confession from the bottom of his heart? I will like to know the answer to
my question.
I thought bill would say Senator Obama is a white Person because his mother
is white-I mean not all white persons are white to the same extent,but he did not.

I think everyone is an Unikum,a world of his own. Let us look at the animals outside that God made-some for example dogs are of different colors-black,braun,white,
blue and so on and so are human beings. the flowers are pink,yellow,blue,green,
red,and so on.

Speech can and will be misinterpreted . It's all in the game called politics.

Will the holiest of the holier than thou Obama fans please stand up?

Say Obama, didn't your mama teach you ladies first?

I respect Bill for realizing his mistake. We cannot blame him for defending Hillary. I would have done the same if I was in his position. Just to clarify to anyone that read what was above and wants to twist the Bill's words, he DID say that this is Hillarys campaign and that he was not going to interfere but play his position. I think he realizes he has had his time and now its Hillary's time. VOTE HILLARY 2008

for the love of god i hope obama wins,i dont want clintons in whitehouse again,not because of hillary but because the baggage she carries with her.who i going to be making policy her or him,it would be like a third term presidency for that inmoral piece of manure.thank you...nestor,from miami

Bill and Hillary are guilty of racebaiting. Barack has my vote.

Change 08

As long as minorities are campaigning for them and singing for them, they're fine. As soon as a minority runs against Hillary, all the dirty politics come into play.

Shame on Billary.

Obama 08

Bill Clinton is the biggest mistake this country ever made. He DISGRACED the WH buy doing something so IMMATURE and STUPID! He FLAT OUT LIED to the American Public. Bill, I will be so glad once the Clinton DYnasty is taken out to the trash heap.

YOur wife WILL LOSE because of YOU! But you did not really care about her anyway, ASK MONICCA and all of hte others.

McCain '08

Billl Clinton did nor said anything wrong! If Obama supporters are so offended by something as lame as this then you really have no chance of changing anything except perhaps your diapers! GROW UP!

What tricks! Maybe Bill is to honest for you!

Hillary '08 – YES

Bill, you were a great President! We love you!
Hillary, 2008!

Bill Clinton opened my eyes with his untrue comments. Thank you so Much!
I was voting for Hillary, now I'm voting for Obama!

Vote Obama!

I am a Black Democrat, age 34 in Florida. Everyone is for Obama keeps screaming that he represents CHANGE. What changes will he bring as President?

Can he get us out of a recession? NO, The Fed Res rate changes, jobs and consumer spending controls the economy.

Obama said that his daughters and he do not need affirmative action.
Does that mean that mean it should disappear because he no longer needs it?

Does change represent teachers that are a couple making $40,000 each and cannot buy a home in Florida?

Does change represent that blacks no longer face discrimination (Jena 6, William Byrd etc. because we have a black President.

Obama to McCain (2008) will be like what John Kerry to George Bush (2004)
.

Hillary is more likely to be elected against McCain.

Obama will have my votes if he wins the nomination.

If Bill Ciinton had not disgraced himself while in office Al Gore would have won in 2000. There would have been no W presidency and we wouldn't have squandered tremendous amounts of national prestige, blood, and treasure in Iraq. Adding to his disgrace was Hillary "standing by her man", and claiming that Bill was a victim of a right-wing conspiracy, which we now know to be a lie just like his famous statement "I did not have sex with that woman". Hillary in all likelyhood cut a deal at that time with the Democratic party powers that led to her fake residency in NY and subsequential election to the senate. Both of them bear some blame for Iraq as a consequence of facilitating the Bush presidency.

I used to love Bill Clinton. But once you see all his tricks a few times they become obvious.

People who don't see his manipulations only do so because they fear the alternative.

When Hillary loses to McCain & McCain appoints a new Supreme court judge who reppeals Roe v Wade, maybe then we'll see if a Clinton was worth wasting the talents of Obama.

No more reporting from media or their corrspondances anyone saying (we hate Hillary Clinton), under no circumstances would any of you say or report that about Obama and you shouldn't.

I seem to gather from this and have an impression that it's not OK for attacks on Obama, but it becomes OK if it's the other way around...discuss.

Obama supporter. Don't forget that Bill Clinton was the President of U.S.A. Give him some respect and stop bashing him. He had done something good for the country and the world. People around the world respect him. Seeing what you guys said about him is not good for the country. UNITE!

It's clear that Slick Willie didn't say anything explicit about Obama, but he war certainly implying something when he compared the win in SC to Jessie Jackson's in the 80s. No question about it. That was an implicitly racial remark. We are not stupid, nor is SLick Willie.

Obama is what the country needs. We don't need ruling families in this country. The point of democracy is to PREVENT the all-powerful ruling dynasties. REMEBER?? THOMAS PAINE? THE FRENCH REVOLUTION?

Know your history people. Obama supporters understand the need for a political outsider to have a go at it. What we've had in the past just doesn't suffice. I swear to GOD if I have to see another Clinton or Bush on my general election ballot I will move to France, where democracy actually works! and where health care is FREE!

People are so enamored w/ OBAMA, probably because he is a good speaker. Personally, I think he stammers a lot. The guy is obviously a smooth talker who talks of hope and vision. The fact is in order to bring about change, one must draw upon, among other things, personal EXPERIENCE. Otherwise, you'll only make decisions based on what the people around you say. Frankly, I am disappointed that people just dismiss Hillary's experience out of hand. What about the press always portraying OBAMA like he can't do anything wrong. Meanwhile, always having negative things to say about the Clintons. Obama keeps falling back on the fact that he was against the Iraq war from the beginning but what people keep forgetting is the fact that he was NOT even in the senate to vote either way! It's easy to say you are against it when you are on the outside looking in-it's quite another when you actually have the ability to vote either way based on facts presented to you by the Bush administration. Hillary made a decision with the best intentions based on information fed to her and other people who ACTUALLY voted for the Iraq war. People should really look at both the candidates track records, let them have their debates so people can make up their own minds. I have been living in America for almost 20 years, recently I received my naturalization papers. I am glad because I intend to vote for Hillary Clinton as President of the United States.

President Clinton did absolutely nothing in South Carolina but defend and campaign for his wife just like Michelle Obama. He has every right to do so. because he was a former president does not mean anything when it comes to their marriage. He was Hillary's husband before he was the president of this country. People need to wake up from this Obama hype, which is what it is and make an informed and educated vote. Where does this man stand on immigration, terrorism, and the other important issues because it is not on his website. Inspirational speeches does not deliever results. Hope + EXPERIENCE = Change. A black citizen who will cast an informed vote instead of voting for hype nad inexperience.

Hillary Clinton for President 2008

I think Mr. OBAMA campaign was attacking Hillary personally and the media does not pay attention to it.

I do not live in Neveda:
Is it true that Obama campaign ran ad asking the republicans to chaneg into democrats for a day to vot against Hillary?

Obama called Hillary as manipulative in Denver rally? Is this civil?

Two days back Obama said that McCain will have lot of dirt against Hillary? Is this a policy debate?

"I do not get fooled by being NEW or Charming"

I hate to be presumed as racist. This reminds me of what is going on in the public school here. You cannot punish/discipline a black kid. Because you would be called as insensitive. But we have to understand this only affects black kids. They do not get disciplined and learn a lesson that they can get away under the cover of skin color. Long term is is a curse and keep them under poverty.

I wonder if our media has this same bias towards Obama.

I will leave it to every one of us to decide. Which is our right.

God bless America. Let sense prevail and truth triumph. Enough of dark eight years in American history.

In reading the interview Bill Clinton gave it was written that the things he said were inaccurate. Is this correct? It's hard for me to bellieve this is what he actually said. He must have been misquoted again. He even said in the interview he was misquoted which was printed lower in the transcript.

I love Bill. He was a great President and the best politician I have ever seen or heard. I may not beleive he was always the human being but he was a great leader. I think all of this bickering about Bill is all garbage. He did nothing more than give factual speeches. Every one in the world knows he doesnt have a single rasicst bone in his body. He has done more for the african-american community than just about any one including Barrack Obama. For people to turn what he said into political gumble should all be ashamed. And then for Obama to open his mouth and say Clintons people and Bill were attacking him....thats carp. His people and him included was the one who turned this into personal attacks. He twisted what Bill said into race. He brought it in. Yet ofcourse here in America we have idiots as voters. Once a black man says what he said was racist...must be, since he is a white man. This may sound bad but come on...Bill is more black than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton combined. They only use the black community for there own political and finacial gain while Bill has truley mad a differance. The down fall in this country is people dont know how to think for themselves and are afraid to stand up and say you were the wrong one Mr. Obama. You brought race into this contest and you should suffer not the one who actually has actually helped us.

Bill Clinton did NOTHING wrong.

Obama's camp and his media distorted and blew out of proportion the truth that Clinton stated.

If anyone needs to apologize, it's Obama for bringing race up in the first place.

If Obama is so strong, then I think that his camp would not have had to reach for these typical Bill statements as much, but needed them to draw attention to Obama..but in the meantime it drew attention away from the discussion on issues....and if he was not running as a black candididate then why did it become a dust up? Instead his camp should have stated things like....I have a lot to say that will show I am not the role of the dice.
I have a lot of wondering about Obama 's actual work in the Senate.....his skill in foreign policy, his relationships with law makers beyound being hopeful, and inspiring.....can he really join people....I think he is naive and will have to learn a lot the hard way to get to his goals....I do not think this is the time to have on the job training for the President of the USA

President Clinton, there is nothing wrong with you defending misrepresentation that the Media did on what you said. You said nothing to be considered racist. I heard all the speeches during that time. If they can call your remarks racist then they ought to take a real good look at todays picture of Hillary and Obama taken during the last debate. I set and watched his turning to look at Hillary tilting his head back and looking at her with pure hatred in his eyes. Talk about being a racist. He is a person that people with any education at all would never lower themselves low enough to vote for him. He is as ignorant as all his supporters. VOTE FOR HILLARY if you want to save our economy.

A few days ago I just saw one of the CNN political analysts speaking in front of the national map. He was speaking about the next primaries this weekend. One of the states was in the south and he mentioned that Obama will get that state because of the large African-American population. This analyst was white. I am wondering how this statement is different from what President Clinton said? Why is there a double standard for everything when it comes to race?

Listen everyone,

If by hook or by crook, the Democratic party should steal the nomination of Mr. Obama as its presidential candidate, then his base should seriously consider to have him run as an independent. He can win it. And we must keep track of who voted for who as superdelegates and respond in the same kind when their time comes for their re-election to their present or other offices.

I followed it from the beging as welland I NEVER saw anything racial EVEN JESSE JACKSON didn't find anything racial. The media was so bias toward obama that loved eating this story up and till this day am still waiting where they got race being and issue.

SHAME ON THE MEDIA and obama saregates!!

btw Ann, thought a lot more than twice! Most of us are not stupid and were highly offended.

That depends on what your definition of learned is

He didn't distort anyone's view on the war. And Obama is a three year senator running for President, if that is not a roll of the dice I don't know what is. Obama didn't vote for war, because he wasn't in the senate at the time. When he first got into the senate Obama started saying "I wouldn't have voted for the war." Then about two years ago he started switching it to "I didn't vote for war." Yeah, because you were not in the senate at the time! All Bill was doing was telling the truth, and unspinning the spin Obama is putting on his voting record.

Go Hillary!

I think his comments were taken out of context anyway...so I do believe him. Obama supporters simply jumped on the opportunity to turn votes away from Hillary.

Hillary supporters would have done the same thing, I'm sure. It's all about spin, smoke and mirrors.

It's amazing how he continues to play his supporters and how his supporters continue to allow themselves to be played for fools.

Bill Clinton was a great President and he is one of the smartest presidents we have ever had. Hillary is brillant and Obama will be brillant. We need to all step back and think about the world and what the next president will face. We need a dream team of Clinton/Obama. Obama will then be elected in 2016 and we will prosper once again as a nation. We need a president now who is brillant and not one who will become brillant. Vote for Hillary and universal healthcare.

Mr. Preseident, yes you DID criticize Barack presonally. That was not fun at all.

Hillary showed great resolve and stood up for the values of marriage when she forgave Bill for his mistake. She is a perfect example of what this society has lost in recent decades. Most people are selfish, unforgiving and will immediately dismiss their vows of marriage. Hillary was strong and despite the pain it caused her in the public eye, did what most people can't. Those are strong values, and she has a strong heart. I am proud of her, yet somehow people find fault in Hillary for abiding by the marriage lessons they give to newleyweds.

Bill Clinton has lost so much of my respect, there is no getting it back. I do not trust him, I do not trust Hillary. They are contrived. They will be whatever they need to be from one week to the next. The only thing consistent about them is that they will do and say anything. How is this OK with people?
Aim higher, America. Obama 08.

Yes, It's one rule for you Bill, and another one for Michelle. The rabid frenzy of the attacks generated by the "uniting" candidate Obama , have with the collusion of a deeply biased media, effectively muzzled you along with anyone else who dares to question Obama's record, policies or style.

So much for free speech.

How poor they are, and oh so contrite.
Each time I think of the poor and contrite I weep.
When I lend myself cash to go to Wal Mart I weep.
Why doesn't any one feel sorry for me, please tell me why?
Women over forty five don't feel sorry for me.
Usually gullible hispanics in California don't feel soory for me.
No one feels sorry for me.
Please tell me why?

Why didn't President Clinton keep quiet, refuse to comment about South Carolina or deflect as he is so capable of doing? You will see the comments and the distraction arise now. To say he didn't know what kind of distraction he could cause is ludicrous, and no one is going to believe him. No one! And now everyone is going to wonder why he's starting to speak out again. For someone so intelligent–we're talking genius level here, he's beginning to seem really, really dumb.

Sorry Bill. TOO LATE! WE'VE ALREADY GOT WHERE YOUR COMING FROM. I am so glad that the majority of the country seems ready to turn the page. Obama 08!

Nice spin Billy!

Fortuitous that Bill tried to work his magic with the blacks in SC and got nowhere. Hard lesson learned for Bill, and he did learn. In contests afterwards, he did not try to convince blacks to vote for Hillary. And look at the Georgia contest. Blacks overwhelming supported Hillary's opponent. At.anta is a place Bill and Hillary once spent much time with the blacks, but the blacks continue to vote against Hillary. That is fine. Two sides to every issue they say, and white voters look at this treatment of Hillary with much interest, shall we say. So yes, Bill has learned his lesson.

Um, I respect standing up for your wife, but I don't see how calling Obama's candidacy a "roll of the dice" or distorting Obama's views on the war in Iraq or the Republican party is a defense so much as an attack.

Bubba, I stood by you despite all the scandals and teasing that I had to endure from my Republican friends, but you lost me in South Carolina. I know many Democrats that feel the same way. I hope one day with the benefit of time I can look at you fondly the way some of us look to Jimmy Carter now as a statesman rather than a horrible president, but all I see now when I think of you is a red-faced, angry guy saying "Give me a break" and saying things Obama's stance on Iraq that were simply not true. Give me a break indeed.

I love Bill, but I wish he had realized this BEFORE South Carolina.

bill, oh bill...you are always learning something...like, you did not know what you were saying or doing down there in carolina (...and you probably believe your story)...you, our president for 8 years and the best political mastermind of our present time, did not "mean" to say what you said?, uh-uh, ok...we have loved you, suffered with you through your/our awful impeachment time...and you still use the charming innocent card (no offence, mind you, i voted for you 2x and, maybe would have done so again–silly me–but, you did do a good job in other stuff!)...bill, oh bill...your charm has worn out... you will not face this truth, nor will hillery...you are both good folks, but not as our president(s) this time around...let it go...
it is time for senator hope...

It sounds like he's coming around. Some of the things he said, including his Jesse Jackson reference after the contest, were certainly over the top. I would like nothing better than to keep this campaign civilized through November.

I followed the whole story and I was continuously upset about how media and interest groups turn it upside down. I believe Bill Clinton. African Americans should think twice when blaming the former President.

Hillary'08!

These Clinton's are something. Pathetic and corrupt.

Now we find out that mandate Hillary does not even

give health coverage to her campaign employees.

What a hypocrite.

Yes, Bill, we wouldn't want any statements with" factual inaccuracies". Of course, coming from the master that could be acompliment.

America needs you.......to go home.

Way to go Bill. It's good that you are humble enough to recognize and admit to your mistakes. I've watched you campaigne for Hillary recently and you are amazing. Keep it up!!!
Hillary '08

Factually accurate?

This is a man who lost his law license for comitting perjury.

Bill Clinton should be on Jerry Springer – drama to more drama.... His life is one big Soap Opera, of which the American people are tired of...

No duh, Mr. President, the lesson learned from South Carolina is that an ex-President should be above the fray. But, no. You like being in the gutter.

Democrats beware. Electing Hillary will destroy what has taken 8 years to rebuild. Make no mistake – The Clintons are not good for the Democratic party.

This reeks of a desparate attempt to get Bill back into the mix.

Even if Bill tries to keep a lower profile, as a former President he can't if he is still going to keep campaigning for his wife.

Also, if Hillary is elected, it will be chaotic with Bill there. I don't care what kind of promises he tries to fork over to the public now. It will be a complete mess if together Bill and Hillary are in the White House again.

That sounds about right, Bill. Your statements have made it seem as if you and Hillary were running for President. I'm not supporting Hillary, right now, but that could change if she is nominated. However, she is a very capable woman that can stand up for herself. She has proven that.

Yet Bill Clinton still did not admit he made incorrect statements. Nor did he say he would, as a former President, allow his wife to campaign on her own. I find that disingenuous.
