18. McClurkin isn't running, either.
So I fail to see the point. Everyone jumps on Obama for the whole McClurkin thing, but no one - absolutely no one - is after Bill Clinton for what he did in 2004. It is hypercritical and a double standard. Bill Clinton actually holds a position in her campaign and will play a role in her White House.

McClurkin is a mentally fucked up hack who sings songs. There is a big difference there. If Hillary doesn't agree with Bill, why isn't she campaigning in such a way to prove that? Why doesn't she denounce it? Why doesn't she ask Bill to apologize for his remarks or apologize for him, while pointing out that she does not share them? Why isn't she supporting a FULL REPEAL of DOMA?

At the end of the day if you are judging Obama because of McClurkin who is worse?
