Well, the Obama campaign appears to have gone green. They're recycling all the old viciousness the left has been using on George Bush for years now and applying it to Hillary Clinton. Today, it's prying the Most Secretive® label off Bush and attempting to slap it onto Clinton.
The Obama campaign is stepping up the rhetoric. Campaign Manager David Plouffe went so far as to call Hillary Clinton the "most secretive politician in America today."
The tough talk underscored not only the negative shift in tone of the Obama campaign in the past 24 hours, but just how contentious this fight for the nomination is becoming.
Part of what the Obama campaign would like the focus to be on is ethics — something adviser David Axelrod said they would be glad to have a debate over. But the Obama campaign may be a victim of time, since an argument on ethics could be tough to steer with the ongoing Rezko trial.
"I think that you know Sen. Clinton has talked a lot about disclosure in the last few days,” Plouffe told reporters. “Sen. Clinton is the most secretive politician in America today. This has been a pattern throughout her career of the lack of disclosure.”
Well, a lot of people on the right have pointed out the murky politics of the Clintons for years. But really, can't the left stop running against George Bush? Don't they have any original material? I can't wait for Haliburton to get worked in somehow.
Good point. Still, it’s fun watching Democrats finally asking the Clintons questions:Obama is finally asking Clinton some questions–here’s a few more he should ask:Your husband made controversial pardons at the end of his term. Did you have anything to do with those pardons–especially Marc Rich and the Hasidim in upstate New York? If so, will you release any documents, etc. on them? If not, do you denounce and reject those pardons?You and your husband have refused to release the donor list from his Presidential library, leading many to think that payoffs for political favors, including the pardons, were funneled through the Library. Will you release those records, and will you pledge that, if elected, your Library’s books will be open and transparent? andWill you finally release your White House papers that the Clinton Library has refused to release? Fair questions, I think– all of which relate to her supposed governmental experience and honesty
Yes, Virginia, the Democrats do eat their own.
We’ll know it’s for real when the Obama camps starts to blame Hiliary for destroying the chances for universal healthcare in the 90′s and thereby losing the Congress in 94.
This squabbling between the Dem. campaigns has Halliburton fingerprints all over it.
