(Video) Bill is jealous of Barack

Patrick Healy, who covers politics for the New York Times, noted on the Chris Matthews Show that the Clinton Campaign is "furious" about Barack Obama's popularity on the internet, and the perception that the Illinois Senator has been consistent on the Iraq war from the very beginning:

HEALY: They're furious.  And they're furious that they see that the media in collusion, to some extent with the Obama Campaign, is portraying him as dovish and consistent on the war from the very beginning.

As Matthews referred to, this week during a conference call with reporters, Bill Clinton questioned whether Barack Obama had been consistent on Iraq.  It is becoming clear the Bill's role in this campaign will be to pick out bits and pieces of Obama quotes from 2002, and find similar quotes from Hillary in order to make his wife look less hawkish.

No offense, Bill.  We love you.  But please, don't cry wolf.  If you want to know how Obama felt about the Iraq war, look no further than his October 2002 speech on that subject:

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a USoccupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, withundetermined consequences.I know that an invasion of Iraq without aclear rationale and without strong international support willonly fan the flames of the middle east, and encourage the worst, ratherthan best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen therecruitment arm of Al Queda.

I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.

Contrast that with Hillary's rubber stamp speech on the Senate floor earlier that same month:

I want this President, or any future President, to be in the strongestpossible position to lead our country in the United Nations or in war.Secondly, I want to insure that Saddam Hussein makes no mistake aboutour national unity and for our support for the President's efforts towage America's war against terrorists and weapons of mass destruction.

I am sorry Bill, but Obama and Hillary were miles apart on their views about Iraq.  Each time you unfairly characterize Obama's position, you stoop to the same level of the Administration currently in power.  You are much better than that.
