Listen up: Obama Didn’t Have a Clue About Health Care

With her usual flair, Taylor Marsh takes on the Obama campaign’s robocalls today:

If you haven't seen "So Goes the Nation...", a film about Ohio and the 2004 elections, including how Republicans target Democrats, I encourage you to do so. It's been on IFC, and it's a reminder of what we'll face in the general election.

So whenever I hear about Obama slamming Clinton on her health care plan it makes me return to March 2007 and the event which had Obama showing up and revealing he didn't have a clue what he was talking about on health care, which is likely why he also did a flyover on the Carson City forum the month before. I'd seen Clinton before, but now running for president, Clinton blew everyone else off the stage, with Obama registering barely as a shadow to everyone else. Now we've got robocalls from Obama attacking Clinton on something not too long ago he couldn't even debate. Via Ben Smith:

Marsh concludes:

The robocalls aren't a surprise to me. It's politics as usual, cynical and deceptive. But all it does for me is remind me of what a prime target Mr. Obama will be for Republicans using the same sorts of tactics. Remember what they did to Kerry, a war hero? Now think of what they can do to Mr. Obama via robocalls and all their other negative attacks.
