“I never was mad at Sen. Obama,I think everybody’s got a right to run for president who qualifies under the Constitution. “
IMO it's a pretty big leap to think he is even hinting at eligibility from that quote.

So let's take away those particular words, if Bill Clinton didn't need to use them if he didn't have doubts about Obama.
"I never was mad at Sen. Obama, I think everybody’s got a right to run for president."
Problem: that's not factually correct. Everybody doesn't have a right to run for president, only people who qualify under the Constitution do. Those particular words, "who qualifies under the Constitution," could be used when talking about Obama, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, or anybody, without implying that the person being discussed doesn't meet such qualifications.

What did he mean by saying he was never mad at Obama?
He was also not talking about anyone but Obama and because of that context I still believe he was questioning his eligibility. If you don't, I understand.

OMG... you've never actually seen the interview? You are projecting what you imagine were his "hints" based only on the out of context Birther quotation?
I guess I should have figured.
First off... when the interview took place, the campaign was over and Hillary Clinton had already conceded. So it is false to claim (as Birthers generally do... as they have in this thread) that the Clinton campaign had anything to do with it.
When he said he was never mad at Obama, that was in contrast to having just previously said he was mad at South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn for claiming that Bill Clinton had injected race into the campaign.

But... he was talking about others at that time. Just not in the way you are imagining... having never actually seen the interview.
It is fascinating that you claim you believe this "because of that context" when you have no idea what the context actually was at all.

Let's give it it's real context and then see what slick Willy was up to.
Bill Clinton, given golden opportunity, fails to endorse Barack Obama (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/08/04/2008-08-04_bill_clinton_given_golden_opportunity_fa.html - broken link)
He was only talking about Obama in this instance. Willy was probably holding onto some hope that Obama would be found out and Hillery would still get the nomination.
Sorry, but it shows nothing, you want to give me which number?? This doesn't have anything to do with the birth certificate. All it's showing is secrets upon secrets.
I'm certainly not as worried as others. I'm not trying to prove anything, I think it's already been proved. I'm over it.
He has a live birth certificate, my husband has one, he was born in 1955, but he also has the white one with the Gold Seal. Why is Hawaii behind??
