Shame on You HRC

I saw this press conference from HRC today regarding some campaign fliers the Obama campaign is using in Ohio and it is the typical Clinton attack. I feel like this is a re-run of 1992-2000 and I hope Democrats are smart enough to see through the smoke screen the Clintons create when they are backed into a corner. It was very easy to blame the media for a "vast Right-wing conspiracy" whenever she and Bill were questioned about their policies or actions, but I didn't think she could use the same defense within her own party. It is an arrogance that is incomprehensible to me and I am constantly baffled by those that still believe her.

She attacks Obama for disagreeing with her platform of universal health care. They have a fundamental difference in what they believe is the right way to handle health care and Obama has sent out fliers outlining the differences and Clinton thinks this is below the belt. You're right Hillary how dare someone talk about an issue and why they disagree with you. How divisive of Obama to disagree with the great and powerful Clinton on policy. It is truly a low blow to put that disagreement into a logical format and share it with the public. She cannot defend her policy so she attacks the messenger.

She compares Obama disagreeing with universal health care to Karl Rove and the Bush campaigns of 2000 and 2004. I don't see the correlation and frankly it is the desperate act of a desperate campaign. The part that scares me is that she does this 3 days before the vote so that people will hear over and over again her comparing Obama and Rove, it has worked for the Clintons in the past to make these broad accusations that are baseless but make a great sound bite. They switch the issue from a focus on issues to a focus on why they are persecuted to garner a sympathy vote. Here's hoping the voters in Texas and Ohio are as tired of this tactic as I am.
