So, you don't think Obama has run a negative campaign?
Think again.

Obama campaign accuses Hillary of ‘incredible distortions.’

Obama campaign: ‘people have heard a lot of things that just aren’t true from the mouth of the First Lady, from the mouth of the former President, from the mouth of the campaign.’

Obama accused Hillary of 'not being straight' with the American people on many issues. Sen. Obama: "Hillary's idea is that we should force everyone to buy insurance. But this is yet another issue where she is not being straight with the American people because she refuses to tell us how much she would fine people if they couldn't afford insurance."

Obama called Hillary 'disingenuous.' Sen. Obama: “Her response was certainly inadequate…She can release these papers…I think she was being disingenuous.”

Obama told reporters to ask Hillary 'the difference between disingenuous and dishonest.' Q: “What's the difference between disingenuous and dishonest?” Obama: “You'll have to ask her.”


Obama campaign Truth Squad member says Hillary and Bill Clinton are ‘all about deceit.’

Obama says 'Senator Clinton started off trying to make history, and now she's trying to rewrite it.'

Obama accused Hillary of not putting 'honesty first.' "The real choice in this election is between conventional Washington thinking that prizes posture and positioning, or real change that puts judgment and honesty first."

Obama said Hillary has not 'been truthful to voters about what she would do as president. NYT: “Has she been truthful to voters about what she would do as president?” Obama: “No.”

Obama said Hillary doesn't stand for anything. "Obama has criticized rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on both issues, and he said not taking strong stands ultimately doesn't work. 'People want parties to stand for something,' he said."

Obama campaigns says ‘Hillary Clinton will do or say anything to win an election’

Obama Radio Ad says 'Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected.'

Obama says he’s up against a candidate who will ‘say anything or do anything to win an election.’

Obama said Hillary is more concerned 'about getting through an election than actually solving the health care problems.' “The Illinois senator said it is another instance of political maneuvering on Clinton's part. ‘So unless she can answer those questions this is yet another calculation that's more about getting through an election than actually solving the health care problems,’ he said.”

Obama said Hillary's positions are all based on 'what’s popular or politically convenient.' "Now, Senator Clinton is certainly not the only one in Washington to play this game. It’s gone on for years, and I understand the reasoning behind it. It’s a game that usually gets politicians where they need to go. But I don’t believe it gets America where we need to go. When it comes to issues like war and diplomacy, energy and health care, I don’t believe we can bring about real change if all we do is change our positions based on what’s popular or politically convenient."

2. He's attacking her on the issues.
Hillary has been attacking Obama on EVERYTHING, often with rovian repetition (state false claim, cite false claim for attack, repeat.)

She lost me with the 3 am ad, reminded me too much of Bush's wolf ad.
