Bill accuses Obama campaign of playing the race card

Tue Apr 22, 2008 at 04:13:02 AM PDT

Just heard this on Good Morning America (yeah watching it since Hillary seems to be hanging herself on her words in her attempt to be tough).

Anyway, Bill Clinton was talking about the Jesse Jackson comment he made during the SC race. He goes so far to say, "I think that they played the race card on me. We now know, from memos from the campaign that they planned to do it along." I guess Obama's campaign just put those words right in his mouth.

The interesting part is that Bill didn't know he was still on the phone and said, "I don’t think I should take any shit from anybody on that, do you?"

Interesting stuff, and the interviews on Good Morning America at least had equal time for Obama and he dismissed Hillary's comments as 'saber rattling".

Here's a youtube clip of Bill's interview
