In other campaign news, Senator Clinton expressed outrage on Saturday over what she called Republican-like tactics employed by Barack Obama. Clinton accused Obama of distributing leaflets in Ohio that were spreading false and misleading information about her healthcare plan and NAFTA.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: “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. Let’s have a debate about your tactics.”
Senator Barack Obama said the leaflets accurately represented Clinton’s positions on healthcare and her past support for NAFTA.
Sen. Barack Obama: “What this mailer does is point out this difference that she herself surfaced and describes what the mandate that she’s calling for would mean, which is that the government would force you to buy healthcare. That’s indisputable. So the notion that somehow we’re engaging in nefarious tactics, I think, is pretty hard to swallow.”
