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 Clintons universal health care plan and her position on NAFTA.
Today in the crowd I was given two mailings that Senator Obamas 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 lets 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.
Clintons 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. Hes 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, thats what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and lets have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.

Agree!
He will not be able to deceive the extrem left-wing ,UN third-worldists,and islamists ...who count on him.
Now during the race he is just trying to appear acceptable
Quite a contrast to what she said the other night during the debate;
No matter what happens in this contest I am honored. I am honored to be here with Barack Obama”.
And of course, we can’t forget this when she was speaking in a Black church not long ago;
“I am so proud of my party I am so proud of my country and I am so proud of Sen. Barack Obama”.
She doesn’t seem to proud of Obama now does she?
Her temperament, unprofessional comportment, and careless disregard for her own dignity truly illustrates why this woman should never be elected to the office of the president, nor should she be given the title of Commander in Chief.
Hysterically scolding Obama as if he were a wayward child after all the crap the Clintons have pulled and will continue to pull on the man was all the more shameful and showed severe reckless judgement.
Obama, ever the adult and gentleman, casually shrugged it off and said he doesn't understand why she should get so "exercised over" what is factually true.
It's going to be grand!
LOLOL!!! If she REALLY had cleaveage like that, she’d probably win the election hands down.

From the post:
"By falsely characterizing Obama's health care plan as not universal, missus clinton is attacking Obama's plan while simultaneously accusing him of attacking hers. Can you say 'confused'?? 'Hypocritical'? 'Arrogant'? 'Dumb'?
Everyone who WANTS health care coverage under Obama's plan will get it. Anyone who DOES NOT WANT IT will not be forced to get it. (The only exception would be to cure parental negligence.)
That is universal coverage in its most democratic (small 'd') sense.
Only an intractable Marxist like missus clinton would conclude that her coercive plan that FORCES PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT IT TO BUY IT is somehow more 'democratic,' more 'universal.' "
Maybe we should make up more of such pamphlets and give em too her at every stop from the crowd ........:o)
