I discussed Obama’s anger over his wife’s remarks being criticized this morning, but I thought this should be pointed out. While Obama seems to have a problem with his critics going after his politically-active wife, he had no problem going after another famous spouse himself.

Sen. Barack Obama says he’s ready to confront former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy on behalf of his wife’s presidential campaign, “troubling…”

“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 gonna have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he’s making statements that are not factually accurate.”

So it’s OK for Obama to go after politically-active spouses, but if others go after his wife he has a fit. Hypocrite.
