Latest Obama Web Ad: Bill Clinton Rambles For 90 Seconds

How does Bill Clinton always finagle his way into everything? Here's an ad for the Barack Obama Presidential Campaign in which we find... Bill Clinton babbling for 90 seconds. Sure, why not. He's like "Yep'm indeedy, Obama sure killed that Osama feller alright. Would Mitt Romney have done that? Ehh maybe." Silly Bill Clinton. Don't you know that Obama and his surrogates are not allowed to mention this popular thing he did in his bid for reelection?

Fortunately we have ABC News to make sure the Obama campaign doesn't get away with this trickster politickery divisiveness. Something is hypocritical, or whatever! That'll stop 'em:

The Obama campaign opened up a new line of attack on Mitt Romney Friday, suggesting that as commander-in-chief Romney might not have made the same decision to order an attack by U.S. forces to kill terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden that President Obama did.

In a new web video titled “One Chance,” the Obama team features former President Bill Clinton praising Obama for deciding to launch the strike last year. “What path would Mitt Romney have taken?” the clip asks.

But four years ago this April, the Obama campaign criticized Democratic rival Hillary Clinton for using Osama bin Laden in a political ad.

On the eve of the 2008 Pennsylvania primary, Clinton’s campaign released a television commercial featuring an image of bin Laden and invoking President Harry S. Truman’s quote: “If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.”

The ad never mentioned Obama by name, but it was part of the Clinton campaign’s effort to brand the Illinois Senator as inexperienced, especially in the foreign policy arena.

Disgraceful. Barack Obama owes an apology to Osama bin Laden, right now, for using his image in an ad while having criticized his primary opponent four years ago for doing the same. (Was that right or...?) Also, apologize to Ann Romney for something.
