In a long interview with the New York Times on Friday, Senator Barack Obama finally took some shots at Presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, signaling a change of course in whats been a low-key campaign thus far. Obama was especially accusatory on the question of national security, claiming that Clinton of trying to sound or vote like a Republican and was straddling between the Giuliani, Romney side of the foreign policy equation and the Barack Obama side of the equation. He also noted that Clinton had not been fully truthful with voters about what her policies would be as president, especially on issues like Social Security, Iraq and Iran. I dont think people know what her agenda exactly is, Obama said. As evidenced by these attacks, Obama said he would begin challenging Clinton more vigorously, which is great news for many Obama supporters that feel his lack of boldness has allowed Clinton to command the presidential race thus far. In fact, The Times suggests the morale of Obama volunteers has dropped considerably in recent months, and they are looking for a change in strategy. The only way that hes going to be able to be clear with the American people, said Alan D. Solomont, a former contributor to both Mrs. Clinton and former President Bill Clinton who is now raising money for Mr. Obama in Boston, is to draw a distinction between his candidacy and his ideas about change and those of other candidates. Its fair to say that he is beginning to do that, but he hasnt done enough yet. On Tuesday night, the Democrats will meet for a nationally televised debate in Philadelphia, and pundits are excited to see how far Obama is willing to go.
