Clinton Campaign Attacks Obama for Ad

Sparks continue to fly. 

Wolfson called on Obama to denounce the ad, and accused him of shifting his stance from late last year, when he criticized similar ads being run on behalf of John Edwards in Iowa.

“What we see is Sen. Obama saying one thing in Iowa when it benefits him, doing another thing in Ohio when it benefits him,” Wolfson said. “In Iowa, he criticized this kind of spending, but in Ohio he is largely silent.”

Wolfson said the campaign has no involvement with the group and maintained the issue is not whether outside organizations should be able to run ads.

“The issue is whether or not Sen. Obama will apply to himself the same standards he set on Sen. Edwards,” he said. “We did not criticize John Edwards for the activity on his behalf as Barack Obama did.”

Well, I’m glad that we’re all still OK with a group of private citizens being involved in the political process.
