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.”
LOLOL!!!
Ain't it the truth!
But I thought you two shook hands just two days ago and almost came around to giving each other a kiss.
“Silly season”
Honestly, how would Chelsea be insurance?
Think about it: plausible deniability, grieving mother.....it plays in well in the media.

Oooohh! Comparing Obama to Karl Rove is the biggest insult a RAT can throw.
Sounds like the new keywords of Hillary's dying campaign.
Let's watch for them.
Mother Nag.
Yeah, that'll attract the men voters real fast.
Could they be that evil?
Webb Hubbell might shed a tear or two. All that jail time for nothing.
That's 'cause it ain't gonna happen. No way.
Too Late! She should have done this on the debate...everyone I’ve talked to who are RATS wanted them to distinquish each others political stands. Instead they were kissing each others behind. The RAT party are just as confused as we are too. NO BLOOD NO GAIN! Opportunity wasted!:)
There are some things in life that I just gravitate away from because I perceive them as female activities.
For example, I don't watch Martha Stewart, and I'm not big on Hallmark movies of Janet Dailey novels.
They've got a variety of "flower/garden clubs" in town, and I guess a guy could join up, but they're not really guy events. I'd get clubbed for suggesting the PTA is a Mom program with the schools, but, it's a Mom/School thing that's going on there.
The same with the democratic party. It's a girl thing. Belonging to the Dem party is actually membership in NOW or the Episcopal Priestesshood.
It's a girl thing, and respectable guys know that.
She's just mad that Barry has the CASH to send out mailings, and she doesn't/
Geez. I thought it was about change.
LOL
LOL the Queen of deception.
“Shame on you, Barack Obama.”
WEEEEE HEEEEE!!!....more popcorn please!!
