The bitter rift that developed between Barack Obama when he was running for president last year and Bill and Hillary Clinton was one mean fight.

In the new book, "Renegade, The Making of a President," by former Newsweek reporter Richard Wolffe, President Obama -- then in the midst of a tight Democratic primary battle with Hillary -- accused the former president of being a "bald-faced liar" and a "loose canon."

Obama also said Bill Clinton was potentially "too much of a liability" when he was trying to decide whether to add Hillary to his White House team once he won the party's nomination.

"We had to figure out how to deal with a former president who was just lying, engaging in bald-faced lies," Obama explained to Wolffe.

I wouldn’t hold that against BHO. Everyone has branded Billy Jeff a liar at one time or another!

[JohnBrowdie]

well, heck. there is a first time for everything, apparently. I just agreed with obama.

it makes me feel funny, though.

[Roccus]

Prolly the only time he told the truth during the campaign.

[apillar]

Slick Willy a Liar !?!

No, say it ain't so!

But in all seriousness, I think if I had to choose between Slick and Barry, I would choose Slick. At least he got his jollies with interns and not by seizing banks and companies.

Takes one to know one, Barry.

It's ok, it's one of those basic truths. like "the sky is blue."..

He's just trying to lull some people into complacency!

Next line should be a real whopper, like "Tax cuts for middle income families!" ..

oh wait..

Did you ever think you'd have to write something like that? Oy! What a world.

Hey. That's my job.

[JohnBrowdie]

the only thing that saved us during the clinton administration from a fate similar to the one we are currently suffering under is that clinton only really cared about clinging to power and continuing his serial philandering.

clinton is a deeply, DEEPLY flawed individual. BHO doesn't have clinton's personal failings.

[jessduntno]

Hahahhaahahaha...too funny....

Well as the kids say, it takes one to know one, and Hussein would be the past master of lying. Billy Bob lied about his sex life, and that was bad enough—Slick Barry lies about EVERYthing. The only time he told the truth was when he was caught off-guard, like when he admitted to his plans for wealth redistribution. he makes Clinton look like a good old boy piker when it comes to lying. Slick Barry has a red phone hotline to his father, the father of lies, Beelzebub.

Was it brand or just a tattoo? I don't see Clinton as being into pain.

[nmh]

Obama makes Clinton look like a choir boy.

[LottieDah]

“Was it brand or just a tattoo? I don’t see Clinton as being into pain.”

He married Hillary...

[the invisib1e hand]

He married Hillary...

Oh, indeed. He's probably covered with scars.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well I’ll be damned, Obama can tell the truth, or at least did once.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Amazing. Obama gets one thing right. He still is a commie.

[keats5]

Wow, Obama must be pretty confident that he has Hillary! under his thumbs to come out with this now.

[GOPJ]

Obama is right about Clinton...
