Did Bill Clinton endorse Obama?
Edited on Sat Mar-01-08 01:35 PM by Mass
Reading this quote a day after the 3am ad, you may wonder.

"If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope." Bill Clinton

6. This is completely unfair. If you're going to quote him, at least include the whole thing

"If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.

Unless he's black and his middle name is Hussein. Then fuck him."
