Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are complaining about which candidate is the biggest complainer.
The issue is their treatment in debates. Obama is objecting to the questions posed this week in one moderated by ABC News. Many of the toughest questions were targeted at Obama, the front-runner for the nomination, and he's said too much time was spent on political divisions instead of issues that matter to Americans.
Clinton said Friday that if Obama thinks the debate was tough, it pales in comparison to the pressures a president faces.
"I'm with Harry Truman on this if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen," she told voters while campaigning in Pennsylvania. "Just speaking for myself, I am very comfortable in the kitchen."
But it wasn't so long ago that Clinton was the front-runner and complaining about her treatment in debates. After a debate last fall, her campaign compiled clips of her being targeted, and called it the "Politics of Pile On." In late February, Clinton complained that she always got asked the first question.
"Her blatant hypocrisy here is stunning," responded Obama spokesman Bill Burton.
The most recent debate Wednesday night was the most watched of this election cycle and has generated some negative reviews for ABC. Obama supporters have made some of the loudest objections, and the Obama campaign sent out a fundraising appeal off the debate titled "Gotcha."
Obama said Thursday that the moderators "like stirring up controversy and they like playing gotcha games, getting us to attack each other."
Clinton said Friday that getting tough questions is part of what happens in a debate and campaign.

This is not the kind of headline you see very often in the “mainstream” Democrat press.
Eye-poking, hair pulling, bed-wetting, shivering marxist Chihuahua’s.
The scumbags are so used to a fawning pack of Democrat “reporters” throwing them softballs, they just don’t know what to do.
A good photo-shopper could easily turn Urkel into Obama...
Exactly, lol
