"Yes we can? Give me a break," .. I'm supposed to be civil about Hillary? Fuck it.

Machinists Union President Tom Buffenbarger, introducing Clinton, hit Obama in...colorful...terms, my colleague Ken Vogel reports.

"Yes we can? Give me a break," he said.

He also compared Obama to "Janus, the two faced God" of Roman mythology. He called him "silver tongued" and a "thespian" and "the man in love with the microphone."

"He’s not just a trained thespian, he’s a terrific shadow boxer. Outside the ring, he pretends he can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee," he said, drawing a contrast between the “editor of the Harvard law review or a fighter for working families."

For all the hype before Clinton's speech, none of her attacks on Obama tonight were really new. But that sure is.

Ken reports that the union crowd noisily welcomed the attacks.

Shes an embarassment. You want all Obama people to be civil when we have to listen to her supporters for months being total and complete ass holes. SHE lets them talk that way. Its HER campaign. SHE is responsible for how it is run. STOP making excuses for her!
