Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), speaking on behalf of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), said on a conference call Tuesday morning that former President Bill Clinton’s criticisms of Obama in recent days and weeks are “not presidential.”


“It’s not in keeping with the role of a former president,” Daschle said.

The former majority leader said the Clintons are engaging in the same kind of tactics Republicans did when they went after him in 2004, defeating him in his reelection bid even as he was the sitting Senate leader of his party.

“This is the same kind of tactic that Washington uses quite frequently,” Daschle said, adding, “I think it destroys the party. Ultimately, it divides us.”

The purpose of the call was to announce the creation of the South Carolina Truth Squad, which Daschle said will “respond forcefully to each and every one of these distortions.”
