Barack Obama is finally going to take the gloves off against Hillary Clinton. Under pressure from donors who are disappointed by the fact that Hillary is maintaining her dominant lead in national polls, the Obama campaign has decided that they have to make their criticisms of the frontrunner clear if they are going to stand a chance. In an interview with The New York Times to launch this new strategy, Obama is far more direct in his criticism of Hillary than he has been to date. This exchange, gives a sense of the change in tone:
Q: Has she been truthful to voters about what she would do as president?
A. “No.
“I don’t think people know what her agenda exactly is. On Social Security, in the last debate, she was very explicit about not wanting to disclose how she would approach it.
