CHICAGO -- Strategists for the campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton exchanged calculated barbs Sunday over accountability and ethics and who was engaging in personal attacks.
Obama communications director Robert Gibbs called on Clinton to release full post-White House tax returns; disclose all "earmarks," or pet projects, the New York senator had inserted into spending bills; and release all documents on the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Presidential Library, including a list of donors.
"What is lurking in those documents?" Gibbs asked.
"There are gaps that need to be filled," said senior Obama strategist David Axelrod.
The two campaigns had dueling conference calls with reporters.
"This is a tried and true technique of the Obama campaign that has repeatedly shifted negative when they find the momentum working against them," said senior Clinton strategist Mark Penn.
He suggested the Obama campaign was trying to "deflect public opinion from their losses in Ohio and Texas" and from Clinton's strength in Pennsylvania.

LoL!
I doubt anybody will ever know 10% of the criminal behavior of the clintons, especially hillary.
“...When asked whether the Obama campaign’s request for tax information was what the Clinton team considered a personal attack, Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said: “When you accuse somebody of being disingenuous and question their integrity and their honesty, as they are doing, that constitutes a personal attack.”...”
Asking for information from the Clintons is a personal attack, ya shure.
Offer Obama 40 acres and a mule in Montana and see if he takes the bait.
