According to FOXNews.com, Barack Obama has officially begun to openly attack Hilary Clinton. He was quoted recently explicitly saying that he did not believe Clinton was being truthful about what she would do as President. Specifically, he feels that Clinton will not live up to her own expectations on Social Security. He also feels that she has been "going back and forth" on the Iraq and Iran issues. Obama also says that he does not want to attack Clinton on a personal level. In fact, he feels that these recent criticisms are only a way of distinguishing himself from her.
Obama may be trying to distinguish himself from the current democratic front runner, but I think its just another attempt to discredit Clinton. We've recently seen the entire Republican field attack Hilary Clinton in a debate, and now we've got the democratic candidate who is currently in second in most national poles attacking Clinton. Is this really the way to get elected in America? Does this really appeal to voters? Personally, I'm not a big fan of Clinton, but all of these attacks have me sympathizing for her. In the end, that could be what the Republicans want.

It could be worse, he could be attacking people who not doing well in the polls. The Democrats are so busy calling each other and not paying attention to the other side, they may just lose this election if they are not careful. Of course that would mean they would have to win first....
I could never have sympathy for Hillary. She would be merciless to anyone in her way. The other candidates know that if they don't attck.. it's pretty much over unless she does something horrendous.
The I'm a woman defense dosen't hold water. She has to govern a nation in a difficult world and time. I hope they go after her hard.
