Obama to confront President Clinton on "troubling attacks".

Sen. Barack Obama says he's ready to confront former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy on behalf of his wife's presidential campaign, "troubling."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts to air Monday on "Good Morning America," Obama, D-Ill., directly engages Bill Clinton on a series of issues.

"You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling," Obama said. "He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts -- whether it's about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas.

"This has become a habit, and one of the things that we're going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he's making statements that are not factually accurate," Obama said.

Well here comes the shit storm.

I really don't think Obama has any choice here. If he does not stand up for himself and point out the inaccuracies that the Clinton campaign is putting out about him his candidacy is doomed.

But in doing so he will begin the war that may tear the Democratic party apart.

This could actually become ALL about race and gender, and the issues could be pushed completely out of the media coverage and the minds of the voters.

I so wanted this to be an open exchange of political points that helped define who would be the best choice to lead this country out of the darkness. And then have candidates that would graciously acquiesce to the will of the primary voters.

I mean damn it the Republicans were supposed to turn on each other and we were supposed to offer a different way. Not the same old win at all cost approach that we have seen in the last couple of Presidential elections.

If you are still a Hillary supporter ask yourself this; Do you really want a candidate that will tear their party apart for the opportunity to run this country? And why would somebody want to be in power that much?
