“Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever
seen.”
So said Bill Clinton in New Hamp****re of Obama’s claim to have been a
constant
opponent of the war. Clinton cited Obama’s voting record, which was the
same
as Hillary’s in his early Senate years.
Yet, for this, the ex-president, designated by Toni Morrison as “our first
black president,” was charged with playing the race card.
Clinton spent days explaining the “fairy tale” remark.
Came then the morning of the South Carolina primary, where Barack was
rolling
up a sma****ng victory. Bill volunteered: “Jesse Jackson won in South
Carolina,
twice, in ‘84 and ‘88. And he ran a good campaign, and Sen. Obama’s
running a
good campaign.”

of the South Carolina vote for Obama. But why is it racist to say what
