Obama confronts Bill Clinton about truth twisting

Senator Obama:
“If you have something that just directly contradicts the facts and it’s coming from a former president, I think that’s a problem, because people presume that a former president is going to have more credibility. And I think there are certain responsibilities that are carried with that.”
“...You know, he continues to make statements that aren’t supported by the facts, whether it’s about my record of opposition to the war in Iraq, or our approach to organizing in Las Vegas. You know, this has become a habit. And one of the things that I think we’re going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s not making statements that are factually accurate.”

That's Obama's polite method of PC political speak that can be loosely translated to, "What did you expect? Bill Clinton is lying again. Back off, Bill."

That depends on what the meaning of "is" is. And what "facts" are.

The fact is, the facts aren't.
