Obama's down in the sewer tactics

Obama and his campaign are now engaging in what can only be called a smear campaign on Clinton. They are throwing out falsehood after falsehood in the hope that the press will take one of the items and run with it.

In the past few days, the campaign has falsely accused Hillary of misleading voters on areas, such as:
• Obama's religion
• Hillary's stance on NAFTA
• Hillary's work in relation to the Family Medical Leave Act
• Hillary's 35 years of experience
• Hillary's desire for the voices of Democrats in FL and MI to have their voices heard as a part of the nomination process

Obama has also continued his accusations that Hillary is not being truthful enough with voters in terms of disclosure. Let's see Hillary has 20 years of tax returns and 11,000 pages of schedules from the White House years in the public domain now. Obama has released ONE year of tax returns and no schedules from years in the senate or the dates on which he attended TUCC church services, even though those have been requested by the media......So tell me again, who is not being transparent?

Talk about your kitchen sink approach Hillary was accused of a few weeks back. This tactic of Obama's is more like a down in the sewer approach....and interesting that it's coming from the candidate who said he was above all the "slash and burn" politics.

We need a Democratic candidate who stands for reality, not rhethoric.
We need someone who is ready for action, not just full of false words.
