4. Why does Clinton bring these arguments up?
First let me say that this is a totally legitimate question for us to be asking. If Obama said that he was against it, but then voted for it, he has some explaining to do.

But I find it interesting that Clinton brings this up even though she knows that she voted for the reauthorization too. It’s like she only wants to give the anti-Obama part of the story and make it seem like she opposed the reauthorization, even though she didn’t. She is right to criticize him, but only after leaving out certain details.

She also did this when talking about Obama’s opposition to the war in 2002. She talks about how he wasn’t in office at the time so he didn’t vote against it. Of course she leaves out the tiny detail that she actually DID vote for it.

I just feel like there is a specific attempt to pull the wool over our eyes. If she wanted to be truly honest, she wouldn’t use the talking point at all.
