ABC News' David Wright, Sunlen Miller and Ursula Fahy Report: Sen. Barack Obama was especially harsh and dismissive today of rival Sen. Hillary Clinton’s latest round of attacks.
“I understand that Sen. Clinton periodically, when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of boosting her appeal,” Obama said in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “But this kind of gamesmanship is not what the American people are looking for.”
In Ohio yesterday, Clinton essentially accused Obama of being all talk, no action.
“Let me tell you,” she told an audience in Columbus, Ohio, “there is a big difference between speeches and solutions.”
At a news conference today Obama shot back: “She has taken double the amount from lobbyists than any other Democrat or Republican. That’s not being in the solution business that’s being part of the business as usual business.”
Obama laughed off the attack ad Clinton is running here in Wisconsin, accusing Obama of trying to dodge debates.
“There’s a debate coming up next Thursday in Ohio -- after the 18 that we’ve already had,” he said, smiling broadly. “This is a distraction and I think people know that.”
He all but called her "moody", a not-too-subtle shot at the female psyche. Hillary's attacks reek more and more of desperation, and with a new poll out today showing Obama leading in Texas, the desperation is probably warranted.
