“Shame on You Barack Obama!”
Democratic hopeful, Hilary Clinton, took it to the next level over the weekend as she accused Obama’s campaign of engaging in dirty politics. At the center of it were two mailings that Obama is sending around that Hilary says are false. Obama responded that there is nothing false about them and they’ve been around for weeks. He suggested that this was a tactical move by Clinton being that all of her hopes hinge on how she does in the next round of primaries on March 4. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
In the CNN/Univision debate last week, some of that desperation from Hilary came out again when she accused Obama of plagiarism saying that he stole lines from one of his national co-chairs, Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick. Obama explained that Patrick told him to use the lines before saying that we were entering “silly season” in the political race. That’s when Hilary came back saying that Obama isn’t offering change you can believe in, but “change you can xerox.”
“BOOOOOO!“, the crowd responded.
Interestingly enough, I found this youtube video this morning that points out some interesting passages that Hilary has seemed to “borrow” from past candidates and her husband. Her regurgitation of her husband’s lines is especially interesting because that was her closing line at the CNN debate that many of the TV talking-heads said gave her the slight edge in the contest.
Silly Season indeed.
