Bill Clinton Rips Obama In Charlie Rose Interview
Bill Clinton is definitely taking the gloves off against Barack Obama. In an interview with Charlie Rose, taped last night, Bill said the following:
• That "it's not close" in terms of how much better prepared Hillary is to be president;
• That picking Obama would be a "risk";
• Likened nominating Obama to picking "a gifted television commentator";
• Criticized Obama for beginning his presidential campaign after only one year in the Senate;
• Called Obama a mere "symbol for change," adding that "symbol is not as important as substance";
Bill also sought to downplay expectations for Hillary in Iowa, saying that "It's a miracle she even has a chance."
The bottom line: The next three weeks ought to be really fun.
