Obama vies to push back, stay positive (It's going to be a LONG 7 weeks for the clintons)

YES HE CAN...ask tough questions of the clintons, bring out the clinton's HUGE load of baggage, call her on her lack of REAL experience, and their SUPER-SECRETIVE NON-TRANSPARENT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS approach to government...AND stay on his message of bringing CHANGE to washington DC...OH YES HE CAN!

Let the vetting of hillary clinton begin.

Can i get an AMEN?!

..."If she wants to make issues like ethics and disclosure and law firms and real estate deals and all that stuff issues - as I've said before, I don't know why they'd want to go there - but I guess that's where they'll take the race," Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, told reporters Tuesday night. "We're willing to draw distinctions that are honest and legitimate."...

...On Wednesday, his campaign released a memo with the subject "TAX RETURNS: What does Clinton have to hide?" "The truth is, more than a year into this campaign, some very simple vetting of Hillary Clinton has yet to start," it read. (Clinton aides have pledged to release her returns before the Pennsylvania primary on April 22.)

Bradley, speaking about the presidential library contributors, asked: "Are there favors attached to $500,000 or $1 million contributions? And what do I mean by favors? I mean, pardons that are granted, investigations that are squelched, contracts that are awarded, regulations that are delayed."

He continued: "These are important questions. The people deserve to know. And we deserve, as Democrats, to know before a nominee is selected, because we don't want things to explode in a general election against John McCain."

1. All that, I admit, is fair game...
...now you admit that calling someone a monster is NOT fair game and we're even.

7. Well, technically I don't know if she resigned on her own or he aske
her to...but it was the right thing, and the smart thing, because having her still on would have dogged his campaign during the next few news cycles.

6. Bill got vetted with Whitewater.
Hillary did not. She has all sorts of "interesting" financial transactions in her past that no one has talked about.

10. Where were you in the 1990's???
All the news articles kept bringing up the fact that she was the one who initiated the deal...Whitewater is old news that people will tune out.
