Clinton Says Obama is All Talk and Little Substance

HeadlineFeb 21, 2008

On the campaign trail on Wednesday, Senator Clinton dismissed Barack Obama of being all talk and little substance. Clinton’s charges came on the eve of tonight’s debate in Austin, Texas. At a fundraising event in New York, Clinton belittled Obama as an inexperienced choice for commander-in-chief in a dangerous world.

Sen. Clinton: “So there are big differences in this election between me and Senator Obama and between me and Senator Mccain, whether we favor speeches or solutions to move our country forward or more of the same Republican policies. This is a debate the voters deserve to have.”

Senator Barack Obama rejected the criticisms.

Sen. Obama: “Contrary to what she’s been saying, it’s not a choice between speeches and solutions. It’s a choice between a politics that offers more of the same divisions and distractions that didn’t work in South Carolina and didn’t work in Wisconsin and will not work in Texas.”
