Clinton Infuriated by Obama’s Ohio Ads

"Shame on you, Barack Obama" said Senator Hillary Clinton during her latest speech on Saturday, when she accused her opponent in the presidential race of misrepresenting her positions on NAFTA and health care in his mass mailings to voters.

While expressing her anger with the Illinois senator and his way of doing things, the New York Senator was holding two of Obama’s campaign mailings in her hand. Probably frustrated because the signs that she may lose the race began to show up and infuriated with Obama’s tactics, Clinton said: "enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics that are right out of Karl Rove's playbook."

On the other hand, Obama defended himself by saying the mailings were actually accurate and that Clinton’s complaint is just a political trick. The 46-year-old democrat said that despite Clinton’s current criticism of NAFTA, she actually supported the trade agreement when it passed during Bill Clinton’s administration.

"You can't be for something and take credit for an administration ... and then when you run for president say that you didn't really mean what you said way back then. It doesn't work like that," said Obama at a rally held in Akron.

He long distance dispute between the two Democratic Party presidential candidates started
as they were campaigning separately across Ohio, a state that will hold primaries on March 4 along with Texas.

Obama’s wining streak reached eleven in a row and his success put Clinton in a position where if she doesn’t win both Ohio and Texas, her campaign will end in failure as she would lose the party nomination. Recent polls show Ohio is close and Texas closer.
