Obama Camp Response to Clinton “Just Words” Attack

From the Obama campaign:

RESPONSE TO CLINTON ATTACK: Clinton proving again she will say or do anything to win

“Proving once again that she will say and do anything to win this election, Senator Clinton today has unleashed a kitchen sink of distorted and discredited attacks that she knows aren’t true.

“Barack Obama isn’t about to be lectured on words from someone who’s actions spoke much louder when she voted against renewable fuels and higher CAFÉ standards until she started running for President, championed NAFTA as good for America until she started running for President, and supported George Bush’s disastrous war in Iraq until she started running for President.

“The fact is, the energy bill that Senator Clinton is using to score cheap political points actually raised taxes on oil companies and made the largest investment in renewable energy in our nation’s history, including the tax credit that’s kept the wind industry afloat and helped create jobs like the ones at the plant Barack Obama is visiting today. If Senator Clinton wants to have an honest debate about why she voted against that bill, we’re happy to have it, but she owes the voters of Pennsylvania more than same old attack politics that Americans have already rejected across the country,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
