Clinton Says Choice Is a Dilemma Feb 10 03:05 PM US/Eastern By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press Writer BOWIE, Md. (AP) - Former President Clinton said Sunday that having to choose between his wife and Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination is a God-given dilemma.
Clinton, who visited black churches in the District of Columbia and Maryland, said he understands black people's desire to finally elect one of their own as president. But he urged them also to consider Hillary Rodham Clinton' experience and policy initiatives in housing, education, health care and her support voting representation in Congress for residents of the nation's capital.
He said New York Sen. Clinton is "the best qualified person to be president I've had an opportunity to vote for."
"All my life I have wanted to vote for a woman for president," Clinton told 800 parishioners at the Temple of Praise congregation in Washington. "All my life I have wanted to vote for an African-American for president. ... I wonder why God gave us this dilemma."
At a later service at Greater Mount Nebo AME Church in Bowie, Clinton asked several hundred parishioners to think and pray about their choice.
Hillary Clinton will face off Tuesday against Illinois Sen. Obama in primaries in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Asked outside church what he thought of Saturday's results, in which Obama swept contests in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington state and the Virgin Islands, Clinton seemed unfazed.
"I lost Washington state in 1992 also," he said.

Keep wondering, Bill, and in the meantime, stop killing the unborn while you try to figure out why God gave you choices.
God doesn’t deal in falsehoods, Bill. There is no God given dilemma between Hil and Barry. That one is derived purely from stupid people who can’t see the same poison fruit in front of them.
Where’s is The REvvvrend Barry Lynd when we need him. How come Bill and Hill and the Dems get away with campaigning in churches?????
“consider Hillary Rodham Clinton’ experience and policy initiatives in housing, education, health care and her support voting representation in Congress for residents of the nation’s capital.”
What experiemce and policy initiative?
Once again..Bill shows the democrats are focused on race and gender rather than the issues at hand.
The same reason He allowed you to be born, you jerk ...
when is somebody going to ask Obama how his standing as an apostate Moslem will affect our relations with the Arab world, that’s gotta be more crazy making for the Wahabists than a Danish cartoon. On the other hand got a puff piece in Iran Times today,I guess all they have to do is scrap away the thin Christian artifice he affects and he seems like kin.
I'll give you a hint, Bill. G-d doesn't choose the candidates. Oh -- and when you and Hill heard Obama speak at the convention last time, and everyone was swooning, why didn't she keep her promise to her constituents, focus on being their Senator, and campaign for Obama?
G-d chose Hillary to run for President as much as He chose you to attack all those women.
They’d have to be real churches for there to be a problem.
Good question.
What a pile of patronizing, condescending crap.
For folks like Mrs. Clinton the trip to Heaven will start out as airport parking on Thanksgiving eve. Her ilk will be diverted to the underground overflow lot. Good luck with that.
Translation: Just stay on the plantation for one more harvest.
This phony SOB no doubt showed up carrying that 40 pound Bible he used as a prop during his presidency. Hillary’s only possible win on Tuesday is maybe Virginia. She will lose in D.C. and almost certainly lose in Maryland. And, as much as I love seeing her lose, I still think Obama’s more dangerous.
“black people’s desire to finally elect one of their own as president”
But I thought Billy IS one of their own.
It sounds like the only reason to vote for either Hillary or Obama is a matter of which minority you prefer.
