Bill Clinton Has Regrets on Campaign for Wife Insists, 'I Am Not a Racist,' Despite Anger Over His S.C. Comments By KATE SNOW and MICHAEL S. JAMES

Aug. 3, 2008 —

In his first broadcast interview since his wife dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, former President Bill Clinton said he still has regrets, and insisted he's "not a racist," despite controversies surrounding his comments about Sen. Barack Obama's win in the South Carolina Democratic primary.

Clinton reflected on his wife's campaign and other subjects to ABC News in Monrovia, Liberia, as he toured Africa to support the work of his charitable foundation.

At times, he appeared to grow testy as he discussed his wife's failed bid for the nomination, and was asked if he deserves at least some of the blame for his wife's losses.

No way our First Black President is racist.

Remember, Jesse told us that blacks can’t, by definition, be racist.

Hey Bill. According to your party’s leader, all white people are racists!

Better put some ice on that!

He let himself be characterized s a racist and did not respond. McCain kicked back in spades the same day the haloed one made his racist comments. McCain let it be known that he would hit back each and every time such an allegation was made. The haloed one’s people are in a quandry. What do you do with a candidate who doesn’t turn tail at a racial allegation?

“.. President Bill Clinton said he still has regrets, and insisted he’s “not a racist”

Oh this is a coincidence. Couldn’t be because Obambi played the race card on McCaine.

...it all worked out just as he wished....HE'LL be the only clinton president. His ego would not allow any other outcome. We were told for years he was the ultimate campaigner, the smartest,slickest,etc.....think back about all the boneheaded statements he was responsible for....he's slick alright.

Barack Obama's win in the South Carolina Democratic primary.

He's doing nothing more than promoting the party cause by making it appear that nobody is racist except John McCain because he is a Republican.

Ain't gonna' work "Rhodes Scholar" Clinton.

Nice try however.

He's still in a snit, since he's been running around Africa ever since Hillary dropped out, doing his best NOT to help Obama.

Well, I must share your sickeness. I hope to see many more instance in which the Impeached One is uncomfortable. Lord forgive me for how much I despise that humanoid.

Oh, yeah, everyone is a racist that doesn’t want to elect “The One” to the office of President. It couldn’t be because the guy is an idiot, you must be a racist! F*** Obama and the horse he rode in on!

I don’t believe that slick willy is a racist, any more than any other democrat but it’s just hillarious that he got painted that way.
