In its new push to raise questions about Barack Obama's character and honesty, the Clinton campaign yesterday sent around a memo from spokesman Phil Singer in which it attacks the Illinois senator's claim that he hasn't been planning a presidential run.
To the extent Obama's made that an issue, it's in an effort to draw a contrast between himself and Clinton, whom he alleges is running to fulfill some long-held ambition. I'm not sure why any of this matters. Don't we want our president to be ambitious?
In the memo, Singer notes:
In kindergarten, Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want to Become President'.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded thus:
I'm sure tomorrow they'll attack him for being a flip-flopper because he told his second grade teacher he wanted to be an astronaut.
