In desperation the Clinton campaign resorts to fear
When a Democrat resorts to the worst tactics of the fear-mongering Republicans, one can be assured that they do not understand what Barack Obama means when he says that he stands for change. But today it emerged that Hillary Clinton has done just that with a new TV advert suggesting that Barack Obama can’t be trusted to keep Americans safe while they sleep. Watch it to see whether it makes you as nauseous as us.
Forget for a moment that when it came to the crunch Hillary Clinton failed to read the intelligence reports about Iraq, but voted in favour of the war anyway. Don’t even think about what might happen if the red phone should ring at 3am if she were Commander-in-Chief. Just watch the next video - Michelle Obama introducing Barack early on in this primary contest.
Having seen the two, are you now clear what Obama means by change we can believe in?
