First, Clinton aides are wrong. Obama saying that Clinton is not telling the truth to voters is a political criticism, not a personal attack. It means she is deliberately fudging or spinning past and present policy decisions. Democrats have rightfully criticized Bush for not telling Americans the truth about the war in Iraq and its costs. Is that a personal attack against Bush? No. It's a political attack against his leadership methods and his destructive foreign policy moves.
Second, you report on the Clinton campaign warnings that Obama will be subject to GOP attacks - because his record as a state senator has not been fully examined! This is one of the more entertaining comments of the campaign.
Obama's record in the Illinois state legislature is open for public review. Yet Clinton has refused to expedite the release of records documenting her time and actions as First Lady while claiming her FIrst Lady years as a huge portion of the experience that qualifies her to be President. Say it ain't so!
And does anyone believe that if Clinton thinks Obama is vulnerable on his state record, that she would not resurrect that record against him now?
