Republicans Gearing Up To Attack Obama
After spending at least the past year planning on how they'd run against Hillary Clinton in 2008, Republican operatives are now busy putting together a plan of attack against Barack Obama now that he's currently out front for the Democrats.
Among their points against him, according to a plan laid out at an RNC retreat:
• He is not ready to be commander in chief.
• Taking a page from the Hillary Clinton campaign, he had a "pattern of voting 'present'" in the Illinois legislature.
• The Republicans "can be confident in a campaign about issues," seemingly in contrast to his mere rhetoric.
• He is inexperienced.
"Forgetting who will be the easiest to beat," said Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA), "I've got to tell you, a President Hillary doesn't scare me nearly as much as a President Obama."
