Dolphins smarter than chimps
SAN DIEGO, April 4 (UPI) -- "Ludicrous" questions about President Barack Obama's birthplace will backfire on the Republicans, Bill Clinton predicts.
A recent poll of likely Republican voters found half disbelieving that the Hawaii-native Obama was born in the United States.
"I think he will fight back," the former president told ABC News in an interview from San Diego Sunday, "but I think one of the elementary rules of combat is you don't want to get in your opponent's way if he's shooting himself in the foot ... .
Clinton also said the United States should consider arming the Libyan rebels, but emphasized he was not speaking for his wife, the secretary of state.
Ex-presidents can get national security briefings, but since Hillary Clinton joined the Obama Cabinet, he has made a point of not getting them, he said.
Clinton was in San Diego for the annual "university summit meeting" of his Clinton Global Initiative. He was interviewed at the San Diego Food Bank, where college students were taking part in service projects.
