35. Why wait until the GE? Obama has not held back on his attacks of Clinton...
why should she? Early on in the debates, Obama said he was taking his gloves off. Clinton was leading in the polls and he needed to do something to rock the boat. He did. Should he have done nothing? To save her from attacks? Of course not. Obama had no qualms lying about her record and attacking her and her husband. They had no problems with doing the RW job for them. It's a bit silly to ask for gentleness now that he is the front~runner (or party loyalty when they offered none). Now is the best time to attack him: Because he is the front~runner. If there is any baggage better for it to come out now...if it costs Obama the primary all the better. Obama will not be treated with kid gloves by the RW...he should not be treated any differently at this time.

Senator Clinton has nothing to lose NOW. She MUST damage him. I'm hoping she does.
