Just in from our friends at TPM Election Central Obama is going to go after Hillary’s much hyped "experience."
- nisleib's diary :: ::
All through this campaign Hillary has talked about her, "35 years of experience." Many of us have been scratching our heads, wondering what experience she was talking about.
We know she served on the board of Walmart, how does that help her in her job as President?

We know she defended a child rapist in Arkansas, is that an experience every president needs?
We know she managed to turn a $1,000 dollar investment into $100,000 in a very short period of time, will she bring her commodity trading skills to the White House?
And we know she was first lady of both Arkansas and the USofA, what great skills did she gain there?
It looks like Obama is finally going to start asking questions about her experience and how it makes her, "Ready from day one."
A reading of the various links from TPM (Josh Marshall is a Journalism God) shows that Obama is fed up with the Hillary kitchen sink strategy. And to that I say, "About F’n time!" So expect to see what many of us hoped to see; an active rebuttal of Clinton bullshit.
Update 1:
Per politico -
``We have not hesitated to draw distinctions between the candidates and we'll continue to do that," said Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod. "If Sen. Clinton wants to take the debate to various places, we'll join that debate. We'll do it on our terms and in our own way, but if she wants to make issues like ethics and disclosure and law firms and real estate deals and all that stuff issues, as I've said before, I don't know why they'd want to go there, but I guess that's where they'll take the race.''
And per AP -
A senior Obama adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Obama's team will respond to Tuesday's results by going negative on Clinton — raising questions about her tax records and the source of donations to the Clinton presidential library, among skeletons in the Clintons' past.
Are the Clintons about to reap what they have sowed?
