Wow. A campaign implosion before our very eyes. While I can understand the sense of desperate any campaign may have when they realize they are sinking I cannot imagine what they must be thinking when they do these types of smears. Cesspool politics of this type rarely works and it never works when done in such an amateur way.

Very interesting. Surely no-one would object to the circulation of publically available information?  

Not that I mind Obama finally taking on Hillary, I think They are going to have to point out that Bill is part of her baggage, and nullify his rockstar popularity with the party as well.

How they'll do it?

There is another point that I have been mulling over. Bill Clinton should have been able to run in 2000. He was clearly the best candidate the party had. And he would have won. He would have massacred Bush. The Amendment that limits terms sucks. It deprives the nation of it's best leadership.  Let the electorate decide!

Maybe 2008 is the may to get him back in in som small way. Bill Clinton makes all these new candidates look like 'little' people.

I have no idea what the Obama strategy is but amateur smears against the Clinton team who has been doing this for some 35 years will not work. The Clintons have survived attacks from the best in the business and third rate stunts like this only further weaken Obama who already has been in decline in the polls.  

This diary is a smear against Obama. A Clinton supporter smearing Obama, what a surprise.

I'd like to see proof that these come from the Campaign... You take an awful lot for granted in your nasty, poorly written smear diaries.

It is true that Bill Clinton has been taking digs at Obama lately. First there was the whole 'there is always some new guy that comes around and excites people but then fizzles as voters choose the more solid candidate' - guess who that was aimed at. Then, he followed up by saying that he thought that Al Gore would enter if the Hillary oposition fumbled - ie if Obama fumbled. This is very subtle, but it is definitley an attack because what he is doing is planting two ideas: 1)Obama is just like Dean, Bradley, and others who have failed to win the nomination, so it's pointless to support him and 2)it's ok to withdraw support because then Al Gore will jump in and obviously everyone would prefer that.
The problem is that Al Gore most likely will not run, and that Bill Clinton's comments very clearly serve to undercut Obama's support. So, is it shocking that Obama fired back? Not to me. The only thing that bothers me is that his attack was so silly. I think it would have been much smarter to simply call out Bill on what he was trying to do in the first place, and leave 911 out of it. However, you could also say that inept attacks are further proof that attack politics are not Obama's focus.

I have zero problem going after the Clintons..They arent GOD, so all this non sense that Obama should should not say anything about the clintons are ridiculous...Bill have already taken some shots at Obama, so i  can see why he'll be fair games....

This democratic primary will be very nasty, and i want Obama to go after the Clintons..You have to fight them off because they will kill you if you're too nice.

They must have a lot of free time over at the Obama campaign and not using it very wisely, it seems.  Even if it was true, which it is not, I really don't see how it would hurt Hillary that much.  This is why Hillary should get the nomination- she is the one best suited to take on the Republican smear machine.  Someone like Obama, who can't even get his facts straight, will be easy pickings for them.  Hillary has been through the grind and knows how to fight it and would not set herself up for something like this.  The Obama campaign is too inexperienced, they are making amateur mistakes that Hillary would not make.  She is the only one capable of fighting them and winninig.

It looks like somebody's kid got a hold of the Obama headquarter computer and went wild with ridiculous junk.  

Obama comes off terrible here.

The Clintons and their supporters are just SO desperate.  They just expected to waltz to the presidency and then Barack Obama showed up.  Instead of just trying to show America who the better candidate is, Clinton and her minions are trying to smear Obama because it's the only tactic that might work against him.  She knows she can't win on the issues so this is all she has left.  Pathetic.
