WHYY's Susan Phillips Interviews President Bill Clinton

During an interview with President Bill Clinton on April 21 2008, WHYY reporter Susan Phillips asked him to respond to the fact that some prominent Philadelphia African-American officials, who had originally supported Senator Clinton, went over to Obama after the former president's remarks in South Carolina about Jesse Jackson.

Clinton vehemently defended his record on racial issues.

At the end of the call, the President, evidently unaware that he was still on the line, revealed his feelings about that line of questioning saying, "I don't think I should take any sh*t from anybody about that, do you?"

Bill can spin anything. So can his wife. I have grown tired of them and their lies.

all i know is, my pastor never preached such inflamatory trash. if he did i would not continue to follow him. obama did for over 20 years as full grown adult, not some teen looking for a path to follow. i'm amazed at the things obama gets a pass on. if hillary or mc cain would be associated with a religious leader like wright, their political careers would be over.
