First Black President Claims Race Card Played Against Him

So much for keeping Bill Clinton in his box:

Clearly, Clinton seems clearly frustrated by the question or the suggestion by anyone - either the reporter or the Philadelphia official whom she quoted - that he was somehow making a negative statement about Obama (or Jesse Jackson) based on their race. His frustration comes through towards the end of the recording when, apparently unaware that he was still on the line, Clinton asks whoever is with him, “I don’t think I should take any shit from anybody on that, do you?"

Bill Clinton cannot handle having his legacy blow up in his face.

UPDATE: Some reporters confront Clinton with questions about his "race card" comments:

NBC/NJ: “Sir, what did you mean yesterday when you said that the Obama campaign was playing the race card on you?”

CLINTON: “When did I say that, and to whom did I say that?”

NBC/NJ: “On WHYY radio yesterday”

Watch it unfold. Wagging finger and all:
