Yesterday, on WHYY Clinton blamed the Obama campaign for playing the race card, when it
was he who compared Obama to Jesse Jackson:
And today he denied saying it on camera:
See any pattern forming here? I consider blatant hypocrisy hard to overlook.
In his endorsement of Obama, Michael Moorerevealed that the CLINTONs brought REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT to the White House for counseling during their marital crisis yet Obama refuses to use this against them.
He says:
" Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"
But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face. "
This is a very relevant insight that confirms the different type of campaigns they are leading. It is a political, and hypocritical move in my opinon for Hillary not to take Jeremiah Wright's comments in context, when she know the man's character well enough to trust him with their spiritual guidance in that time of hardship. Hillary's attacks for Obama's connection to wright are similar to running with the ex-Weatherman connection accusations when Bill Clinton pardoned some of them. There is a desire to win no matter what the cost and an obvious duality at play here, that might be very common to politics as usual, but these are exactly the type of politics we're tired of.
