Clinton Goes Negative On Obama
During a speech in Iowa today, Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested that Barack Obama has too little experience and perhaps too much ambition, pressing an increasingly aggressive campaign against her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“So you decide which makes more sense: Entrust our country to someone who is ready on day one … or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience, who started running for president the day he arrived in the U.S. Senate,” Clinton said.
Obama is fond of criticizing Clinton for voting in favor of labeling an Iranian military unit a terrorist organization. Obama says Clinton is giving President Bush a golden ticket to go to war with Iran. However, Obama himself didn’t vote on the issue at all because he was out campaigning.
Clinton accused Obama of a “rush to campaign” in not returning to Washington this fall to vote on a resolution naming an Iranian military unit a terrorist organization. The Bush administration supported the measure, as did Clinton - and Obama has criticized her for it.
She went on to jab him again saying,
“Presidents can’t dodge the tough political fights,” she said.
Obama’s Campaign immediately fired back:
“The truth is, Barack Obama doesn’t need lectures in political courage from someone who followed George Bush to war in Iraq, gave him the benefit of the doubt on Iran, supported NAFTA and opposed ethanol until she decided to run for president.”
I have to give credit where it’s due, and that was a pretty good attack on Obama. He loves to use that Iran vote against Hillary, meanwhile he wasn’t even in town to vote on it. Nice!
