Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has attacked Bill Clinton on several issues, largely because of Clinton’s support for his wife’s campaign.

“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. “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 said.

The attacks seem quite pointed to the Clinton campaign, and this may give Obama the edge he needs. A lot of Hillary supporters are not completely convinced of their candidate. Anti-Hillary sentiment still runs strong in the Democrat party, even among some of her own supporters–they just don’t see Obama or Edwards as the most viable.

We’ll have to see where this goes over the next day or two.
