Or maybe he is taking a page from Slick
Sen. Barack Obama yesterday blamed his campaign staff for crafting an opposition research document aimed at rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a memo that prompted accusations he is practicing the kind of negative campaigning he regularly assails.
The memo — given to reporters Thursday — outlined some of the disclosures filed on financial forms for Mrs. Clinton, New York Democrat, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and highlighted the couple’s ties to India and Indian-Americans.
The memo "was a screw-up on the part of our research team," Mr. Obama told the Des Moines Register yesterday. "It wasn’t anything I had seen or my senior staff had seen."
At least he took some responsibility, apologizing for himself and his entire staff, but, this is like Edwards blaming his staff for the $400 haircuts. In Liberal World, it is always someone else’s fault.
He just doesn’t seem to get that politics is a dirty business, and folks like Edwards and Clinton will bury him for showing weakness.
Of course, when it comes to Hillary!, will she blame others for a tape of her possibly committing a felony?
