It belongs to everybody:

Something of a ruckus is happening because a senior Hillary Clinton advisor is accusing Obama of brandishing a "right wing talking point". What is Obama brandishing? According to the senior advisor, that Bill Clinton is fibbing. Lying, in other words.

That's the Obama reaction to recent remarks by Bill about the Nevada caucuses, as well as Obama's stance on issues and suitability for being president. Obama is saying that the former president isn't telling the truth.

So, is the Clinton advisor correct to say Obama is using a "right wing talking point"?

Yes.

But it's not only a right wing talking point. Remember Clintion lied to the nation and in court (leading to disbarment). So it's true. Saying that Bill Clinton is a liar is:

• A right wing talking point
• A centrist talking point
• A left wing talking point

All can agree. Finally! Something to bring the nation together. David Broder must be pleased.
