After a few weeks of Bill Clinton leveling attacks against Senator Barack Obama over his experience and war record, Obama himself has come out saying the former president’s comments are crossing a line and from now on he would need to “directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate.”

Clinton continued the attacks saying in Buffalo NY:

“[Hillary] won a victory in spite of a very well-organized, and I might say a very well-executed strategy by the Obama campaign, which included doing well in the north of Nevada, where his demographic of upscale voters lived, and by making an explicit effort to get Republicans to come and vote for him in the Democratic caucus.”

“[Obama] said President Reagan was the engine of innovation and did more, had a more lasting impact on America than I did and then the next day he said, ‘In the ’90s the good ideas came out from the Republicans.’ Which it’ll be costly maybe down the road for him because it’s factually not accurate.”

On Good Morning America Obama responded to Clinton’s continued attacks saying:

“You know the former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling,” Obama said during his first morning television interview since coming in second in Nevada. “He continues to make statements that are not 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.

“This has become a habit, and one of the things that we’re going to have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate,” Obama added.
