Hillary's faux outrage and Obama's response

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

And this is how Hillary might still win this thing.

Hillary's faux outrage:

Obama responds:

Firing back at Hillary's criticism of his NAFTA mailers here, Obama said tonight that she can't pick and choose from her husband's administration.

"You can’t be for something or take credit for an administration and 35 years of experience and then when you run for president suggest somehow you didn’t really mean what you said back then," Obama said to applause at a rally of about 5,000. "It doesn't work that way."

He said Clinton had in fact supported the trade deal that is blamed for thousands of job losses in the industrial hub of this state and that is viewed as something akin to cancer by Ohio Democrats.

"The truth is that Sen. Clinton supported NAFTA before she ran for president. That is indisupatable. She called it 'a victory' in her book. She told people it has proved its worth. T hose are facts."

Obama struck a defensive tone in bringing up another matter on which he and Clinton have battled.

"Sen. Clinton also said today, 'Since when do Democrats attack one another on universal health care?'" he quoted her as asking.

"Well, since she started saying that I’m against universal health care, that’s when it started," he answered. "Something that she repeats every single day."

And seeking to portray Clinton as being the negative one in the race, Obama took special note to remind the crowd one of the Democrats' favorite bogeymen.

"She actually compared our campaign to Karl Rove's," Obama said to boos. "That's one I had not heard before."

She's slinging mud. That's all she got. If that sways the democrats towards her, then they deserve McCain as President.

One way or the other, she ain't moving into 1600 Penn Ave.

I don't share your optimism. I think Hillary has this in the bag, the rest of us just don't see it yet. There's a master plan and soon it will all be revealed.

You know she's freaking out when she brings out the "Karl Rove" ammunition.

She won't win in November if she gets to run. Not gonna happen.

Love that pic!

She will try hard, but Obama has the momentum.

Something worth pointing out to all those 'Hill has just as little experience as Obama'....even O recognizes that to be untrue!

Yeah Lisa. Obama does acknowledge the experience factor. Note that the reply is from December, 2007, well before the electoral tide began to turn.

WATERLOO, Iowa - Former president Bill Clinton leveled a new attack on Sen. Barack Obama on Friday, arguing that he lacked the experience needed to be president, a criticism that drew a tart response from Obama on Saturday as he campaigned in Waterloo, Iowa.

“When is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running?” the ex-president asked, in an interview with PBS talk show host Charlie Rose which aired Friday night.

Obama began serving in the Senate in 2005.

The former president wondered whether voters are “prepared to roll the dice” on Obama, considering that he has less experience than his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Joe Biden.

“Even when I was a governor and young and thought I was the best politician in the Democratic Party, I didn't run the first time,” Clinton said, referring to the 1988 campaign.

In response Obama told a press conference Saturday that Clinton himself had said in 1992 when he ran for president that a candidate can “have the right kind of experience or the wrong kind of experience.”

Well, yeah...that much is clear. I was referring to the people here on VJ and elsewhere that claim that they are 'equally green newbs'

In reality Obama was a state senator before he was elected to the national senate. So in terms of elected experience Obama is more qualified than Clinton.
