Clintons Vs. Obama: The Reagan Comments

Bill and Hillary Clinton's distortions of the comments of Senator Obama regarding 1) the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and 2) the Republican party being "the party of ideas" over the last 10-15 years were the subject of the most bitter and vituperative confrontation between Barack and Hillary during Monday night's CNN debate (if you haven't seen any coverage of this slugfest, you've been living under a rock). Jake Tapper does an excellent job of presenting what each side actually said and evaluating whether the Clintons were accurately representing Obama's comments (they were not). If you would like to decide for yourself, a video of the full interview that sparked the controversy can be found here.
