He took the bait.

Unbelievable.

Bill Clinton laid it out there for him and Obama just lapped it up. .........

6. do Hillarites ever post an article that is not authored by Taylor Marsh?
She's like your one-man press corp.

You would be more believable if you spread the Propaganda around.

13. Gotta love how that Taylor Marsh can spin and fabricate a story!
Too bad she got called out by real journalists....you know, the ones who actually fact-check and interview people.

What a hack.

wish he had been as outspoken about the Iraq war and the Bush presidency instead of not even being a yippy dog.

21. "I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq"
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/madfloridian/1220

"Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

"I have repeatedly defended President Bush against the left on Iraq, even though I think he should have waited until the U.N. inspections were over," Clinton said in a Time magazine interview that will hit newsstands Monday, a day before the publication of his book "My Life."

27. It's an accurate analysis. And no one can "get" media like Bill Clinton.
He also has the advantage of a damn near photographic memory--he doesn't need a teleprompter to make his case to a crowd or a reporter.

This is a real "ouch" and if it does get traction, Obama's one rather spurious "advantage" issue--the WAR--evaporates. What I also like about the report is that Ms. Marsh provides CITES to support her assertions.

    There are several problems with Obama "calling out" Bill Clinton, as some have put it. First, Obama will be fighting on Bill's turf, because Obama's anti war credentials begin with talk and a good anti war speech in 2002, but that's pretty much where it stayed from then on. What Bill Clinton has been saying about Obama's Iraq war record, post that speech, also has the virtue of being true. Obama has to explain why he was against the war but funded it throughout his Senate term, plus stood up and pushed back against John Kerry's amendment for a timely withdrawal, which puts him standing beside Hillary. That Obama's votes are exactly the same as Clinton's on Iraq, except for her vote against Casey for Secretary of the Army, is the foundation for the "fairy tale," as Bill Clinton calls it, myth of Obama's anti Iraq war credentials being strong beyond talk after 2002.


    ...Bill Clinton taking Obama on over his lack of leadership on Iraq once he hit the Senate is trouble for the candidate if the traditional media decides to wake up. Bill Clinton knows Obama is vulnerable on it and he bet that Obama would be naive enough to take the bait, if for no other reason than ego. The truth is that Obama's not done one thing to stop the war once in the Senate. His first legislation was one year ago, but he's not done anything concrete before or since. People moan about Hillary's vote for the war, but it was Hillary who put forth legislation to challenge Bush from going around Congress on his Iraqi "enduring relationship" commitment that would saddle the next president with an agreement that is basically a treaty without Congress being involved (legislation language). This is the same legislation she brilliantly challenged Obama to support in the last debate, much to his embarrassment. It was also Clinton who took on the Pentagon by challenging Secretary Gates as to whether he and the Joint Chiefs had a withdrawal plan for Iraq, which in the process brought forth Under Secretary Eric Edelman, who laughingly accused Senator Clinton of having a discussion on Iraq that "reinforces enemy propaganda," when in fact she was challenging the Pentagon to do their job, while doing hers as well.
