Political Punch has gotten a copy of the new anti-Obama literature about health care policy that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, is dropping in New Hampshire. See the positive side of the flier pertaining to her HERE which promises "HEALTH CARE FOR EVERY AMERICAN" and says "HILLARY CLINTON. THE ONLY CANDIDATE READY TO LEAD."

...And see the negative side pertaining to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, HERE where you will see highlighted: "incompleteness … wouldn't cover everyone … wrong on policy … weakness … make him sound like Rudy Giuliani …"

...What many will clearly find very interesting is the fact that almost all the attacks on Obama from the Clinton lit are from New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.

Krugman has gone after Obama's proposals on health care and Social Security rather pointedly…

And in response Obama's campaign has gone so far as to FACT CHECK him.

This has not endeared some in the liberal blogosphere such as Ezra Klein who wrote, "When I argued that the (Obama) campaign should take the gloves off, I really didn't expect their target, in this document and in the health care fight more generally, would be progressivism. What in hell is going on over there?"

I dunno, but Hillary sure likes it. She's plastering Krugman all over the Granite state!

I wonder if Obama will respond with lit garnished with quotes from Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich?

Obama's plan he should be called on it. I still like HRC's plan best of all of the plans but I need to hear more as I have questions about the mandatory part. I do agree that any health care insurance reform simply MUST be broad enough to make everybody sign up. If Obama's plan doesn't do that, I have problems with his plan.

The thing I am happiest about is that ANY of the Dems plans are better than anything the repubs offer (not that they are!). And I think the American people are ready for medical insurance reform, which they weren't in 1993 when HRC put forth her first plan. Times have indeed changed...

The MSM hates Hillary Clinton. Always have. Always will.

I mean, jeesh. What's humorous about it is that he supports the most "centrist" (read: rightwing) Democrat, and claims that anyone that critiques her is "right leaning".

But hey, that's how triangulation works! :eyes:
