Political Radar: Clinton Tip-Toes Around Rev. Wright Issue
April 28, 2008 12:59 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Senator Hillary Clinton knocked Republican presidential contender John McCain and the Republican party for politicizing the issue of Senator Barack Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright, but tip-toed around her reaction to her Democratic opponent's handling of the matter.
“I have said that that that was a personal decision of his I answered one question about it that made it clear I would not have stayed in that church under those circumstances," Clinton told reporters in Graham, NC. "But, I regret the efforts by the Republicans to politicize this matter and I believe that if Senator McCain were serious he would do more than just send a letter he is the putative nominee I think he could very clearly tell the North Carolina party tell the Mississippi party that he would not tolerate those kinds of advertisements and I’m waiting to see if he does that.”
When asked if Wright’s comments were a reflection upon Obama, Clinton quickly and matter of factly said, “You will have to ask him that.”
well, here it is. something good to say about hillary!
she's FINALLY starting to act like she might be on the same side as obama. i guess we have to be grateful for small favors, and note that it's better late than
never.
but given her history during this campaign, one can't help wondering how long it will last and how far she's really willing to go to defend obama against the bullshit which she, herself, actually helped to inflame and spread?
still, she deserves some credit for saying this...
so i'm giving it to her.
