Clinton: "Shame on You, Barack Obama"

(CBS)
CINCINNATI -- Today, Hillary Clinton aggressively went after Barack Obama, criticizing him for playing similar political games to Karl Rove and at one point saying, "Shame on you, Barack Obama."
Speaking to reporters following a rally at a community college here, Clinton slammed Obama and his campaign for distributing mailings to Ohio voters attacking Clinton’s universal health care plan and her position on NAFTA.
“Today in the crowd I was given two mailings that Senator Obama’s campaign is sending and I have to express my deep disappointment that he is continuing to send false and discredited mailings with information that is not true to the voters of Ohio. He says one thing in speeches and then he turns around does this,” Clinton said waiving the two mailings at the cameras.
“Just because Senator Obama chose not to present a universal health care plan does not give him the right to attack me because I did. So let’s have a real campaign. Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove's playbook, this is wrong and every Democrat should be outraged.”
“Everything in those mailers is completely accurate," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. "We look forward to having a debate this Tuesday on the facts, and the facts are that Senator Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider 'going after the wages' of Americans who don't purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not,” Burton continued.
Clinton’s tough tone and sharp words are a stark difference from her tone and appearance on a debate in Austin, Texas two days ago.
When asked about her new tone Clinton skirted the question going back to the mailings and attacking the Obama campaign for funding them.
“This election is about misleading, false and discredited attacks that interfere with voters being able to make an informed judgment,” she said.
“I am not going to stand here and see this campaign polluted by the kind of misleading, discredited and false attacks. We deserve better than that. He’s been called out on it, he has been contradicted on it, he knows better and here it is ‘Paid for by the Obama for America Campaign.’”
“So, shame on you Barack Obama. It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public, that’s what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and let’s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.”
Earlier at the rally, she slammed President Bush, saying that under his presidency “the American people got shafted.”
She also suggested a parallel between Bush and her opponent Barack Obama, saying that talking "about change" doesn't necessarily translate into a successful presidency.
“You know people talk a lot about change in this election,” Clinton said.
”We have lived through some of the worst change anybody could imagine over the last 7 years. Do you think people voting in 2000 knew what they were getting? I don’t. People thought they were getting a compassionate conservative; and it turns out we got neither and we have lived with the consequences of those mistakes year after year after year.”
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!” she added.
“Now more than ever we need a president we can count on, a president who’s in it for you,” said Clinton.
Clinton will hold another event in Ohio today before heading to Louisiana and Texas later this evening.

See all 61 CommentsThe Clinton Smear Machine is at it again with their fake outrage and raging hypocrisy!!!
The MSNBC Hillary Clinton "documentary" features one of Hillary''s closest friends saying (with pride), almost word for word: "Hillary learned (in Arkansas) how to win elections. Go negative and attack your opponent in a personal way!"
I guess in "Billaryland," you stick with what you know. Except that American politics is changing, and the Clintons are left looking like they didn''t get the memo.
"Solutions not speeches"..." Good works, not good words"... "Time to get real"... We''re not buying it!
Hillary''s screaming and hollering is not going to get her any votes. When I heard her on CNN, I thought to myself...hmmm, she''s totally lost it. I don''t think I want a President who yells and screams everytime something does not go her way or when her feelings are hurt. Then on the other hand I figure, if she''s going to go out, she''ll go out with a bang!
Obama 2008!
Looks like she was just playing to the gallery.
"..It is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public, that%u2019s what I expect from you. Meet me in Ohio and let%u2019s have a debate about your tactics and your behavior in this campaign.%u201D
Hmmm...lets talk about a campaign that is consistant with Hillary''s messages in public. Like in her speeches saying that Obama is not ready to be commander in chief, and then when asked if Clinton thinks Obama is ready during the Texas debate, she backed away from what you''ve clearly been saying on the campaign trail. Hmmm...and how about the whole plagiarism silliness..."change you can xerox". Funny, because last night I saw a report on TV that said Hillary repeated almost word for word (in her ''real moment'' at the end of the debate) what her husband had said previously. Hillary Clinton just doesn''t get it. We are tired of the B.S....and thats why she is going to lose.
We have to assess their character based upon their actions through the lens of our own experiences to ascertain who we each believe would best guide and govern this country.

She''s losing it.
What will he do in Iraq? Pakistan? How will he stand up to the military....does he know the difference between a hand grenade and a howitzer? Will he privatize Social Security? His economic advisers suggest he''d lean in that direction. Let''s hear more about these things BEFORE casting our vote.
This election has turned into a celebrity game...forget the past and you''re condemned to repeat it.
Remembering how we ended up with Weasle43? It''s happening again.
YIKES.
EArlier in the campaign, calls about Obama being a Muslim and a potential terrorist were traced back to your campaign---but we can move on--so let''s see the fliers--but before you blame it on Obama, lets do this:
1. Make sure the source was the actual Obama campaign and not a plant placed by your own people to make his people look bad
2. Make sure that the fliers are filled with lies and that the info is not established and able to be verified
3. Make sure one of your shadow groups are not doing this to try to frame him
4. Make sure one of his shadow groups is not doing this without his knowledge
So give us the papers--and we can take it from there--and please do not allow your staff to shred or erase any emails or throw away any Obama stamps they may have in their possession. LMAO
Based on your comment, no one should vote for Clinton, McCain, or Huckabee. George W. Bush is white leadership.
I think the flier could have done without the extra comment but at least it has political substance.This is Hilary''s chance to discredit Obama''s campaign on herpast and recent stance with NFTA but she must be careful not to get cuaght up in unessasary comments. She is already labeled as part of the old political system.I support Obama and he could have done without the word boon but it has substance. So will Hilary focus on boon or NAFTA?
We have to assess their character based upon their actions through the lens of our own experiences to ascertain who we each believe would best guide and govern this country.

And the funny thing, she wants to meet Obama to discuss his behavior. I guess it''s her maternal instinct shinning through finally but the tone is highly inappropriate for a presidential primary.
Thank you.
do some research. Their man objective is to have a ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT. McCain and Gulliani are the same, GANGSTERS. Their
parents are MOBS. They are MOBS, If you do not believe me, PLEASE DO
SOME RESEARCH. Obama on the other hand is new to the game, he is not
as corrupt as Hillary AND McCain. The objective is to have ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT AND TOTAL CONTROL OF THE WORLD. The reason why September
11, 2001 happened, which was orchestrated by the Bush Administration is TO HAVE A MARSHALL LAW IN THIS COUNTRY. Since then, 1-No Habeus
Corpus 2- The patriot Act, we have what? The Government can detain
you at anytime and put you in the jail in the name of TERRORISM. It
is time for America and the WORLD to wake up. Hillary and McCain are
two of the MOST CORRUPTED PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
for change, LET ME TELL YOU, the same thing that happened to JFK and
Boddy will happen to HIM. Why? Because, the BANKS AND THE FEDERAL
RESERVE WILL NOT LET ANYONE STANDS ON THEIR WAY. Right now, we are
living a PURE DICTATORSHIP in the USA. How come the OGVERNMENT HAS
HIRED PASTORS TO TEACH FELLOWERS "IF THE GOVERNMENT ASKS YOU FOR
YOUR GUNS, YOU MUST GIVE IT TO IT" WHY? It is simpe, WHEN THE
MARSHALL LAW HAPPENS THEY DO NOT WANT OPPOSITIONS. AND WHY THEY KEEP
ON BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY?
OFCOURSE TO PUT PEOPLE, to put the REVOLUTIONARIES INTO THE CAMPS. IT
IS TIME TO WAKE UP, TO MANIFEST, TO REVOLT AGAINST THE ROTCHILDS,
AGAINST THE ROCKAFELLERS, AND AGAINST THE BUILDERBERGERS. WAKE UP
AMERICA, WAKE UP. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD, PLEASE WATCH: "ZEITGEIST", AND "ENDGAME" FOR FREE on GOOGLE....YOU WILL
THANK
ME LATER.

Obama''s plan is open. Though clearly delineated, it will be the product of negotiations that are open to the public and can be viewed on CSPAN. Hillary''s plan is closed. Like her holiday ad when she offered a grateful nation gifts from under her tree, this one is already wrapped and ready to go--on Day One. That''s what she means when she says she is about solutions: It''s a done deal. We don''t need to be patronized, especially by someone whose patrons include the drug and insurance companies that are already overcharging us.
As we can already see with other mandated insurance plans like no-fault insurance, prices go up, not down. Drug companies and insurance companies that have funded Hillary''s campaign could be the real winners if her plan were to go through.
Obama''s plan involves a process that makes it transitional, giving incentives that benefit health care providers, lowering their own insurance costs along with the cost of providing care. It benefits everyone.
All those fliers are completely accurate.
Plus these fliers have been distributed for WEEKS now. NO WAY this was just brought to the attention of her campaign. The fact that she''s just getting worked up about them right now is COMPLETELY TACTICAL!
She knows that she is the one being viewed as having run a really shady campaign, and that it is costing her. She is now trying to turn the tables... and ironically, is using more shady tactics to do it. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY!
Hillary voted NO!
Shame On You Barak Obama
It%u2019s not like he accused her of pimping her daughter in Wisconsin- which she did.
It''s not like he accused her brother of getting paid to get people pardoned by her husband- all of which happened.
It''s not like he blamed her and her husband, because she was at ever cabinet meeting, for selling out the working people of the United States through NAFTA and by offer most favored Nation status to China- which is exactly what they did. Out sourcing started under Clinton not Bush.
I have to say "the lady doth protest too much."
It is up to the forth estate to set the record straight if they have the guts to face the Clinton attack machine.
Attack! Attack! Distract! Distract! that is the Clinton stratedy. As for karl Rove- yeah he learned everything from them. it is time for change we don''t need these people to lead this country.
20 years of Clinton''s and Bush''s is enough. We''ve all had enough of this garbage.
I know this was a run-on sentence. Well, shame on me then.
: - (
(PS - The contrast between Clinton and Obama''s health care plans - the subject of the "shame on you" meltdown of today - was already discussed on the last debate. So what gives?)
...kinda reminds me of this competition between a smooth talking, calm and collective pro with leadership qualities and the other... so out of her league.
- she''s starting to shriek now just as they said she will. heheh..."since when do democrats attack one another on healthcare ?"...indeed mz clinton, when ?
