Obama Admonishes Bill Clinton

Appearing today on ABC's Good Morning America, Sen. Barack Obama responded to Sen. Hillary Clinton's main surrogate, former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy of his wife's candidacy "troubling" and many of his statements "factually inaccurate." Obama's measured tone underscores the incongruity of a former president engaging in gutter politics and behaving in a manner not commensurate with that office. And Obama is not alone in criticizing Clinton. Newsweek magazine reports that Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel have asked Clinton to tone down his attacks on Obama.
