President Barack Obama referred to former President Bill Clinton as a liar, due to the things he stated during the time his wife, Hillary Clinton, was vying for the U.S. presidency.

Former President Bill Clinton

Tough Words For Bill Clinton:

His wife is now Obama’s secretary of state, but Obama had some tough words for the actions of former President Bill Clinton during the campaign.

“We had to figure out how to deal with a former president who was just lying, engaging in bald-faced lies,” Obama explained to Wolffe.

When the then-candidate was asked if Clinton got in his head, he replied: “Yes, but I got into his.”

Later, when considering who to name as his running mate, Obama told aides that if Hillary Clinton would help politically she ought to be considered.

“But I’m concerned about Bill Clinton being a loose cannon,” Obama said, according to Wolffe.
