At a event in New Hampshire, Bill Clinton rants on Barack Obama's (supposed) free pass from the press. The former president somehow managed to turn a question from a student about Mark Penn's (Hillary Clinton's campaign manager) judgment-- or lack thereof-- into a complaint that Obama hasn't been held to the same standard as Hillary Clinton on the war:

"Second, it is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, numerating the years, and never got asked one time, not once, 'Well, how could you say, that when you said in 2004 you didn't know how you would have voted on the resolution? You said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war and you took that speech you're now running on off your website in 2004 and there's no difference in your voting record and Hillary's ever since?' Give me a break. "This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen...So you can talk about Mark Penn all you want.
