Newsweek reporter Richard Wolffe writes in "Renegade: The Making of a President" that Barack Obama's campaign struggled with figuring out how to respond to former President Clinton's attacks.
President Obama accused Bill Clinton of peddling "bald-faced lies" during the presidential campaign, according to a new book on the 2008 race.
Newsweek reporter Richard Wolffe writes in "Renegade: The Making of a President" that Obama's campaign struggled to figure out how to respond to former President Clinton, who during the early primaries was a fierce defender of his wife Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic nomination.
"We had to figure out how to deal with a former president who was just lying, engaging in bald-faced lies," Obama told Wolffe. He also boasted about his campaign's ultimate ability to take on the former president.
Asked about the claim that Bill Clinton got into Obama's head, Obama replied: "Yes, but I got into his."
Tensions between Obama and the former president began to rise in late January 2008, with the Nevada caucuses and then the racially charged South Carolina primary. Clinton appeared to take a hard shot at Obama when he compared his South Carolina victory to the Rev. Jesse Jackson's -- a failed presidential candidate with limited appeal outside black constituencies.

Obama is a big liar.
Both clintoon & obozo are pathological liars. Wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them in the face.
Yeah....people called Hilter a 'renegade' as well... ;)
Oh, that's right Obama said that. I'm getting my liars mixed up.
We could play pin the lie on the Donkey with all these lies flying around.
The only problem Dems have is to keep those lies airborn, make sure they don't land and stick in the public's mind.
Bald faced Liars:
It takes one to know one...
When will Bagdad Bob Gibbs clarify Zero’s remarks “What he meant to say was...”
"My message is all about 'reason.' We haf ways to deal with people who do not listen to reason."
I though 0-bama just claimed the wrong camp, but that it was his great-uncle. Did I miss something?
It turns out that the Charlie Payne that liberated Buchenwald's satellite camp was not related to Obama. He just shared the same name with Obama's great uncle, except for the middle initial.
Charles T. Payne was the liberator and Charles W. Payne was the great uncle.
Oh, and there was actually a Charles T. Payne in Obama's family, his great grandfather who was 81 year-old at the time of the liberation of the camp, too old for anything so strenuous.
Why aren't we publicizing this?
