Obama Camp's Response to Clinton Pennsylvania Ad "Kitchen"

Campaign hits back hard against new Clinton TV ad featuring image of Osama bin Laden.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton: “When Senator Clinton voted with President Bush to authorize the war in Iraq, she made a tragically bad decision that diverted our military from the terrorists who attacked us, and allowed Osama bin Laden to escape and regenerate his terrorist network. It's ironic that she would borrow the President's tactics in her own campaign and invoke bin Laden to score political points.  We already have a President who plays the politics of fear, and we don't need another."

Obama campaign

And: Obama camp initially responds to ad by distributing flier, circulating Bill Clinton quote from 2004:

"If one candidate's appealing to your fears and the other one's appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
