    Clinton released a statement saying the ad was "not true" — an assessment shared by independent fact-checkers.

    It's been an uneasy partnership for Obama and Clinton, two political heavyweights whose styles and political instincts often conflict. Tempers flared between the two in 2008, leading to accusations of race baiting and recriminations.

    Clinton dismissed Obama's claims that he was a stronger opponent of the Iraq war than Hillary Clinton, calling it a "fairy tale." That angered some black leaders who contended that Clinton was diminishing Obama's quest to be the nation's first African-American president. Clinton denied the accusation.

    Obama upset the Clinton campaign when he suggested that President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, had "changed the trajectory of America" in a way Clinton's presidency had not.
