Clinton: "Shame on You, Barack Obama"
CBS ^

CINCINNATI -- Today, Hillary Clinton aggressively went after Barack Obama, criticizing him for playing similar political games to Karl Rove and at one point saying, "Shame on you, Barack Obama."

Speaking to reporters following a rally at a community college here, Clinton slammed Obama and his campaign for distributing mailings to Ohio voters attacking Clinton’s universal health care plan and her position on NAFTA.

“Today in the crowd I was given two mailings that Senator Obama’s campaign is sending and I have to express my deep disappointment that he is continuing to send false and discredited mailings with information that is not true to the voters of Ohio. He says one thing in speeches and then he turns around does this,” Clinton said waiving the two mailings at the cameras.

“Just because Senator Obama chose not to present a universal health care plan does not give him the right to attack me because I did. So let’s have a real campaign. Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove's playbook, this is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged.”

Clinton’s tough tone and sharp words are a stark difference from her tone and appearance on a debate in Austin, Texas two days ago.

When asked about her new tone Clinton skirted the question going back to the mailings and attacking the Obama campaign for funding them.

“This election is about misleading, false and discredited attacks that interfere with voters being able to make an informed judgment,” she said.

“I am not going to stand here and see this campaign polluted by the kind of misleading, discredited and false attacks. We deserve better than that. He’s been called out on it, he has been contradicted on it, he knows better and here it is ‘Paid for by the Obama for America Campaign.’”

“So, shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public, that’s what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.”

In theory, NAFTA might have worked to increase economic development in Mexico. It was Clinton however, that gutted NAFTA by opening the flood gates to China.

I’m trying to picture Hillary Clinton graciously conceding defeat. I can’t do it.

Liberals get upset when you tell the truth about them (even if it's by another liberal).

I just hope she goes away, and soon. Come on Texas and Ohio, do your thing.

Is this the kind of negative campaigning the Clintons and their friends in the media told us would turn off the voters back in 1992?

When she said she was proud to be on stage with Obama and he did not return the sentiment, It must have really pissed her off.

Unsaid by her: I want to be VP.

Unsaid by him: Ain't happening has-been.

Obama needs to pay Chelsea Clinton to ride on his plane with him everywhere he goes. For a l’il flight insurance.

As a Republican, I certainly hope our party wins. But if I *HAD* to choose between Obama and Clinton, I would have to pick Obama. He's a big socialist liberal, but at least he is honest... for a politician. The thought of Hillary as President makes want to pack my bags and move to the Netherlands for 8 years.

She has to have a reason to take the gloves off and she's trumping this up to justify her coming scortched earth program.

Wouldn't that be rather like plagiarizing Bill?

If you are going to argue with gestures - use your own gestures.

There's BO a plenty in Ohio. He's going to win by at least 20%. The young people (40 and under) are absolutely ga-ga for this charlatan.

Step One: put the stake in the vampire
Step Two: Deal with everything else.
