In his speech at Furman University, Barack Obama focused on the economy. He had also taken the chance to name and attack Hillary Clinton. In response to Clinton’s economic plan, Obama said that Clinton did not think workers and seniors needed a tax cut until the economy went south.
He said: “Five days later, the economy didn’t really change, but the politics apparently did, because she changed her plan to look just like mine.”
Obama went on the offensive on Hillary such as when she voted for the bankruptcy bill and saying she was glad that it did not pass. In that regards, Obama said: “I know you can get away with this in Washington, but most of us know that if you don’t want to see a bill pass, there’s a pretty easy option available – you can vote against it.”
He had also criticized Hillary’s stance on NAFTA and said she wrongly disputes his position in the war going on in Iraq. Obama accused Clinton of changing her positions for the political advantage.
“We can’t afford a President whose positions change with the politics of the moment,” he said in his speech. He then added: “We need a President who knows that being ready on day one means getting it right from day one.”
Both Obama and his campaign have become more frustrated with Clinton’s campaign.
