Barack Obama rebutted today the charge that it is unfair for him to attack Hillary Clinton over her husband's NAFTA policy in the 1990s. At a press conference in Ohio, Obama said that since Hillary has used "35 years of experience, including eight years in the White House" as a premise for her candidacy, she can't claim just the good parts of Bill's administration as her own, and declare other issues off limits.

"The notion that you can selectively pick what you take credit for and then run away from what isn't politically convenient, that doesn't make sense," Obama said. "If she suggested she had nothing to do with economic policy in the Clinton White House, then it would not be fair for me to bring it up but as you know, that's not the claim that she is making."
