Hillary to Obama: Shame on You!


(CNN) -- A visibly angry Sen. Hillary Clinton lashed out Saturday at Sen. Barack Obama over campaign literature that she said he knows is "blatantly false," while Obama called her outburst "tactical."

Sen. Hillary Clinton waves campaign literature she says is false. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland is behind her.

Clinton jabbed the air with her hands as she told a crowd in Cincinnati, Ohio, that two Obama mailings spread lies about her positions on universal health care and the North American Free Trade Agreement.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," she said.

Polls show Clinton and Obama are in statistical dead heats in delegate-rich Ohio and Texas, which both hold votes March 4.

With Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland nodding in agreement behind her, Clinton accused Obama of emulating the tactics of Karl Rove, President Bush's former political director who is reviled by Democrats.

Obama "is continuing to send false and discredited mailings with information that is not true to the voters of Ohio," Clinton said.

One mailing says her health care proposal would force everyone to buy health insurance, regardless of ability to pay, a charge Clinton vehemently denied.

"Sen. Obama knows it is not true that my plan forces people to buy insurance even if they can't afford it," she said.

The NAFTA mailer says Clinton was a "champion" for NAFTA while first lady, but now opposes it. NAFTA was negotiated by the first President Bush and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

"I am fighting to change NAFTA," Hillary Clinton said Saturday.

Hillary...shame on you! Hillary and her campaign sent out negative fliers misrepresenting Obama's position on abortion.

Also, does she go from giving an elegant closing at the last debate to foaming at the mouth on Saturday morning? This makes me wonder how she would handle anyone in her cabinet that would disagree with her.

As the saying goes...what goes around, comes around.

All in all, Hillary is a smart woman, but she has mismanaged her campaign...from day one! I understand that her back is up against the wall, but she definitely has some anger management issues that could turn some voters off.

I don't favor Obama nor Hillary at this point, but Hillary's recent outbursts does make wonder about her electability.

Just my two cents....

VOTE 08!!!!!
