Bill Clinton: Mendacious, Pathological Liar

Filed under: United Nations

Now that the country is in the throes of deciding whether to allow another Democrat to take over the Oval Office, perhaps it's useful to consider what the country got that last time it decided to do so.

Yesterday (April 28th), former President Bill Clinton, that last Democrat to hold the office, was interviewed by public radio in Philadelphia. You can listen to the interview on YouTube. At the beginning of the interview, Clinton states that he did not think it was a mistake to analogize between Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson, states that he would do it again, and states: "I think that they played the race card on me." At the end of the call, the former President, evidently unaware that he was still on the line, revealed his feelings about that line of questioning saying, "I don't think I should take any shit from anybody about that, do you?"

But when asked about it today by a reporter from MSNBC (watch the exchange here), Clinton denied ever making the statement. The exchange was as follows:

NBC/NJ: "Sir, what did you mean yesterday when you said that the Obama campaign was playing the race card on you?"

CLINTON: "When did I say that, and to whom did I say that?"

NBC/NJ: "On WHYY radio yesterday."

CLINTON: "No, no, no. That's not what I said. You always follow me around and play these little games, and I'm not going to play your games today. This is a day about election day. Go back and see what the question was, and what my answer was. You have mischaracterized it to get another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us, and I choose not to play your game today. Have a nice day."

NBC/NJ: "Respectfully sir, though, you did say . . . "

CLINTON: "Have a nice day." [continues shaking hands with supporters]. I said what I said, you can go and look at the interview. And if you'll be real honest, you'll also report what the question was and what the answer was."

This man is pathologically unable to tell the truth, even when the subject is something he himself said in a recorded interview the day before. And Clinton, at least, was a duly elected governor of a state, hence having clear executive credentials. Now, we face the prospect of a President Obama, mired in real estate and racism scandals and totally unqualified to hold the office.

They follow him around! Remember Gary Hart? Other great hope for America's "Democratic" future!

Is the Democratic Party trying to destroy America?
