The vetting of clinton begins =]
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/03/obama_goes_on_o.htmlBarack Obama's campaign, after a week of largely playing defense over his spiritual mentor's sermons, is going on the offense with a vengeance this morning with a memo accusing Hillary Clinton of "a history of misleading voters."...
..."After eight years of an untrustworthy President, can we really expect that a candidate who is viewed as so much more dishonest than McCain will somehow be able to beat him?" the memo asks.
Then, the memo goes on to cite Clinton's newly released schedules as first lady to assert that they cast grave doubt on her claims of experience and accomplishment on family leave, foreign policy, and other issues. The memo also accuses Clinton of dishonesty on the North American Free Trade Agreement, of disingenuousness on the disputed Florida and Michigan primaries, and of abetting a false rumor that Obama is Muslim during a recent "60 Minutes" interview.
And after Clinton long chiding the press for treating her more aggressively than Obama, his campaign is seeking to turn the tables.
"It's time for Hillary Clinton to explain these inconsistencies -- and to put an end to the dishonesty," the memo says. "As she campaigns in working-class areas of Pennsylvania, will she finally admit to workers that she was one of the chief proponents of NAFTA? Will she admit to even a basic understanding of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002? Will she drop FMLA from her list of accomplishments? And if she won’t, will the press call her on it?"
