Advice to Obama-Attack (Hillary, of Course)

With Barack Obama so clearly now on the defensive, Hillary Clinton, unable to overtake him in pledged delegates, can only argue to the superdelegates that she should be the nominee because Obama will be unelectable in the general election. I would like to humbly offer my advice to the senator from Illinois: It is time to get off defense and turn on the offense against Mrs. Clinton. After all, you have so much ammunition that you have yet to use.

Rather than go through a long narrative, I will put it in the form of a list. These are the points you need to start talking about. In other words, you should argue that Mrs Clinton has so many ethical issues that she is not fit to be president. Here they are.

1 The Rose Law Firm and her years as First Lady of Arkansas- How is it, Mrs. Clinton that you were able to turn a $1,000 investment into $100,000 in a matter of weeks? What about those Rose billing records that no one could find but that turned up accidentally in your White House living quarters?

2 Did you or did you not have a role in the hiring of Craig Livingstone, who went from bartender to official in the White House in charge of 900 FBI files on Republican figures?

3 Did you have any role in your Chief of Staff, Maggie Williams cleaning out Vince Foster's office after he was found dead in a Washington-area park?

4 What role did you have in the firing of the White House Travel Office people so that your Hollywood pals could take over that duty?

5 Mrs. Clinton, what was your role in having private investigators go after women who claimed to have had affairs or been assaulted by your husband?

6 Mrs. Clinton, could you please explain your role in the pardons your husband gave to New York Hasidic Jews who were doing time for embezzlement? More specifically, what about the reported meeting you and Bill had with Hasidic leaders in the White House? Even more specifically, was their connection between the pardons and the fact that the Hasidic community voted for you overwhelmingly for senator-even though they had traditionally voted Republican?

7 How many times, Mrs. Clinton, did you state, "I don't recall" when testifying before the grand jury investigating Whitewater?

8 Mrs. Clinton, do you still believe, as you told Matt Lauer, that the Monica Lewinsky affair was a "vast, right-wing conspiracy"?

9 Inlight of your recent disclosure that you and Bill have made 109 million dollars since leaving office, even if legally earned, don't you think it is unseemly for former presidents and first ladies to make so much money off of their government service?

10 Mrs. Clinton, could you please explain to the public the financial relationships you and Bill have with Middle Eastern interests, such as the Government of the United Arab Emirates?

11 What have your brothers, Hugh and Tony been up to lately? And does Hugh plan to open up a pardon business if you are president?

Mr. Obama, the mainstream news media has conveniently forgotten all these questions about Mrs Clinton's integrity. Isn't it time you reminded them?
