Desperate to keep or retake her lead in Iowa and New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is urging fellow Democrats to “give more thought” about Barack Obama’s past illegal drug use.
A top adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said Wednesday that Democrats should give more thought to Sen. Barack Obama’s admissions of illegal drug use before they pick a presidential candidate.
Obama’s campaign said the Clinton people were getting desperate. Clinton’s campaign tried to distance itself from the remarks.
According to Clinton campaign advisor Bill Shaheen, questions about Obama’s past drug use could be difficult to overcome in the general election.
“It’ll be, ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?'” said Shaheen, whose wife Jeanne is the state’s former governor and is running for the U.S. Senate next year.
“There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks. It’s hard to overcome,” Shaheen said.
Isn’t that amusing, Hillary’s campaign is the one making an issue of Barack Obama’s past illegal drug use, and yet, Shaheen is saying it’s the Republicans that are going to take advantage of Obama’s shady past. Gotta love it.
