The Clinton’s sleaze continues

The tag team of Bill and Hillary Clinton continue their dirty campaign tactics. This time, according to a CBS News report, the former president questioned the patriotism of U.S. Senator Barack Obama.

It is very apparent that they are desperate, because the Democratic Party nomination is slipping away from them. Even a former supporter, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, has abandoned them.

Here are some excerpts:

A new controversy flared up in the Democratic presidential race Saturday over remarks by former President Bill Clinton whom Barack Obama's campaign accused of using divisive tactics and unfairly trying to question the Illinois senator's patriotism.

Retired Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, a co-chair of Obama's campaign, said he was astonished and disappointed by recent comments the former president made while speculating about a general election between Obama's Democratic rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Republican John McCain.

Standing next to Obama on stage at a campaign rally in southern Oregon, the retired Air Force chief of staff repeated Bill Clinton's comments aloud to a silent audience.

The former president told a group of veterans Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina: "I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country. And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."
