Obama Says Hillary Will Do Anything To Get Elected

Barack Obama fires back at Hillary Clinton’s weekend appearance at a Crown Point bar where she downed a shot of Crown Royal and hoisted a mug of Old Style.

The Chicago Tribune’s “Swamp” is keeping up with the intra-party battle for the hearts and minds of the folks in small towns in Pennsylvania and Indiana.

Says Barack Obama:

“Around election time, the candidates can’t do enough. They’ll promise you anything, give you a long list of proposals and even come around, with TV crews in tow, to throw back a shot and a beer,” Obama said, stirring laughter from an audience of steelworkers and steel industry executives.

“But if those same candidates are taking millions of dollars in contributions from the PACs and the lobbyists, ask yourself, who are they going to be toasting once the election is over?” he continued.

Clinton’s campaign fired back saying in an email that Obama does the same thing when he bowls, buys expensive ham and talks about the prices at Whole Foods.

“With all due respect, this is the same politician who spent six days posing for clichéd camera shots that included bowling gutterballs, walking around a sports bar, feeding a baby cow, and buying a ham at the Philly market (albeit one that cost $99.99 a pound). Sen. Obama’s speeches won’t hide his condescending views of Americans living in small towns,” Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said in the statement.

It’s all great fun to watch both sides battle each other in a WWE-style political grudge match full of drama and theatrical fury. While watching the grand show, don’t forget that there is an alternative candidate to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama who hasn’t become mired in all of this mud slinging.
