"I think it would be a great thing if we had an election between two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interests of the country and people could actually ask themselves who is right on the issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."
So says Bill Clinton on the campaign trail today. Lots of folks are hearing a serious questioning of Obama's patriotism in this.

There is a video of the gaffe, as well.

It's difficult to determine exactly what Clinton meant by this. Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, said the former president was not implying that Obama didn't love America. As for "this other stuff," that Clinton referred to? He was talking about "the politics of personal destruction," said Wolfson. "He was lamenting that these kind of distractions 'always seems to intrude' on our politics."
Well, one must admit that if there is any pol out there who really does understand the "politics of personal destruction," it is likely to be Bill.
:rolleyes:
