23. Asking for Clinton to be vetted and calling them on their secretiveness isn't nasty
because it ties directly into positive themes of his campaign: government transparency and openness.

It also goes directly to policy, as in health care, where he promises to expose drug and insurance industry arguments to the light of day, and where Hillary ran a closed process that was at the heart of her failure to produce a result back in the 90's. She is a top-down, insider-oriented, secretive person, and Obama needs to continually remind people of that.

I don't want to hear about Whitewater, TravelGate, the stained dress and that shit. But focusing on the tax returns, her records as First Lady and the Clinton Foundation donor list, which is still shrouded in Bill-imposed mystery, is more than fair game.
