Clinton Says Obama Needs to Explain Inconsistency in Gun Views
(CBS)
Speaking to reporters on a flight between California and Arizona, Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of flip-flopping on the issue of gun control.
Earlier today, Obama said he had "no intention of taking away folks' guns.”
But Obama has a history of supporting gun control measures. And the Clinton campaign pointed out a questionnaire from 1996 where Obama said he "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.”
Clinton said Obama has some explaining to do.
"Well he has to speak to his own record, which has obviously changed over a relatively short period of time," she said.
"My understanding is that really within the space of 4 or 5 years, he’s had several positions on a number of really challenging issues. You’ll have to ask him why he has so rapidly changed position from year to year."
Earlier, before Clinton held her press conference on the plane, the aircraft had an aborted takeoff from Burbank, California when upon acceleration the pilot noticed a light turn on in the cockpit. After a short taxi to the gate and filing some paperwork, we were in the air.
It doesn''t work in 2008. We are now on Internet age - quick fact check possible.
Tell us what you want to do for America.
People are loosing homes all over America. Do you really want to tie that problem to Obama and his State?
You call that rapidly changing position? What about Hillary, her position changes from week to week, day to day, depending on what is going to work best to get a vote.
how can Obama be the honest person if he himself is caught in lies?
how can Obama claim he can do perfect judgement on DAY 1 if he himself makes mistakes on getting involve with a slumlord?
how can Obama claim he can be the uniter if he himself indulge in fights?
how can Obama claim he is the new blood if he himself is part of the old blood?
how can Obama be the bridge to the future if he himself does not have the mastery of past?
a good salesman (OBAMA) can make you drive a lemon car. a good mechanic (CLINTON) can fix the lemon car.
