What Experience? Obama To Aggressively Engage Hillary's Claim To Foreign Policy Readiness
Speaking to reporters on his campaign plane, Obama makes it very clear that he will be taking on Hillary's claim to superior foreign policy experience and readiness a good deal more aggressively in the weeks ahead:
“Over the coming weeks we will join her in that argument. Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crisis? The answer is ‘no.’”
Separately, the Associated Press reports that the Obama camp is planning to hit her harder on multiple other fronts, too:
A senior Obama adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Obama's team will respond to Tuesday's results by going negative on Clinton -- raising questions about her tax records and the source of donations to the Clinton presidential library, among skeletons in the Clintons' past.
That's according to an anonymous adviser, so take it for what it's worth. Judging from his quote, it seems pretty clear that Obama's idea for the way forward -- direct engagement with Hillary on her core argument -- is the sounder course.
Late Update: Ben Smith has some good quotes from senior Obama adviser David Axelrod mapping out what's ahead.
