He truly needs to stop this kind of thing for the sake of the party and the sake of his wife.
Bill Clinton: In Defense of Michigan and FloridaToday, at the first of five campaign events in Kentucky, just days ahead of the May 20 primary here, the former president said the lack of attention to the unseated Michigan and Florida delegates was proof that the party and the political pundits are trying to force Democrats to get in line behind Obama.
How dare he continue this tactic of accusing the party of favoritism toward Obama. That is just sickening to me.
Over the past few days Clinton has frequently focused on the delegate controversy in his campaign remarks, going on about how the primary scheduling flap that resulted in the party and the campaigns' boycotting primaries in those states, has effectively disenfranchised millions of voters.
"What did the Democratic National Committee do? They obliterated them. Who cares if you wanted to get up there with these other states because you've been broken by this economic policy of the current administration. We're gonna show you who's boss. We are obliterating you from the face of the earth and pretending that your voters did not vote. You just have to know, that is the position of your national party. Nobody quarrels with their right to discipline them. They made a decision they did not have to make. And do you seriously believe, if the votes had been the other way, that they would have made the same decision?" Clinton asked a crowd in Owensboro.
This is unbelievable he is doing this. "We're gonna show you who's boss?" That from a former president?
He attacks Obama as well.
"Her opponent, now seeking to disembody Florida, buys national cable television and says 'oh, I'm sorry it got into Florida but I had to buy national cable television.' Nobody buys national television for any reason, there is no conceivable reason to do it other than to advertise. And I believe there was also some television in south Georgia. So only one candidate broke the rules. She still won by 295,000 votes, 17 percent," said Clinton.
Hillary Clinton needs to sit down and have a chat with her husband. I hear she is trying to tone down her rhetoric, so maybe she is not aware of what he is doing.
People in Florida are divided enough now. He should hush, tell the truth about the fact that Florida did it to themselves...and let us have some peace and come together.
