Sen. Obama Drops the Hammer on Clinton War Conflation

Posted by JHC in Rebuttals, Campaign, Iraq War

In an interview on Wednesday night, President Clinton once again tried to conflate his wife’s record on the war with that of Sen. Obama. As quoted by the Hotline:

CLINTON: Because in the beginning, there was this impression that he was the only one that was really against the president’s policy in Iraq, which I don’t think is accurate, but it nevertheless had some legs out there.

His voting record and Hillary’s are almost identical, I think, on all the relevant issues.

Asked about the comments yesterday, Sen. Obama didn’t mince words:

“I suppose that’s true if you leave out the fact that she authorized it, and supported it, and I said it was a bad idea,” said Obama. “That’s a fairly major difference.”

It begs the question: Can you smell what Barack is cooking?
