Bill Clinton: Obama's White Half Won Maine
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2008-02-10) — Former President Bill Clinton today downplayed the significance of his wife’s losses in Maine, Nebraska and Washington over the weekend, noting that just as being half-black helped Sen. Barack Obama win in the south, “his white half gives him the edge in primarily Anglo-American states.”

“Obama gets to play both sides of the race card,” said Mr. Clinton, “I told you he won South Carolina because he’s black, like Jesse Jackson. So, to be consistent, I’d have to say he won Maine because he’s white like Michael Dukakis.”

The former president acknowledged that his reasoning “doesn’t make sense at first, but if you think about how hard it is for me to avoid saying Hillary lost because Democrats don’t like her, then I think you’ll agree it’s the only prudent thing I can say.”

I can't stand the Clintons and hope Obama sweeps the remaining states. Bill is Obama's best friend by continuing to say stupid things bringing up his race. It's like the guy who tries to dig himself out of bad joke hole. Just stop lol. Or actually for Obama's sake, continue.

How many posts is it going to take for everyone to realize that this is "ScrappleFace" sarcasm?

Almost every ScrappleFace article has some truth to it in that it may actually represent what people are actually thinking... It is a hillarious site!
