Clinton Compares Obama To Bush

Clinton: Obama untested, just like Bush was

by Rick Pearson and updated

CINCINNATI — Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton lashed out at rival Barack Obama today for using a strategy out of “Karl Rove’s playbook” by making grandiose speeches of hope while sending Ohioans what she called “false and discredited mailings” on health care and trade policy.

“Shame on you Barack Obama,” Clinton told reporters after delivering a speech at Cincinnati Technical and Community College in which she reminded voters that in 2000, an untested George W. Bush called for change--just as Obama is now--and “the American people got shafted.”

Obama's campaign quickly responded, noting that Clinton's top spokesman, Howard Wolfson, once called one Democrat comparing another Democrat to George Bush as "the worst kind of tactical political maneuvering."

3. Bush gave us change, now we're going to change it for the

the rest of the 99 percent of us.

5. What does that mean? Yes, I know that we are ruled by our

corporate masters, that wars are fought, not for ideals, but for profits.

6. "If you are not with us, you are against us."

It seems to be the Clinton campaign that is using this same mantra against Democrats. It is almost as if they are saying, "We don't care what happens to the Democratic party as long as we get what we want."

7. Isn't that what Obama is saying when he says that his supporters won't support Clinton if she

gets the nomination?

Not so different are they?
