Obama Camp Using Disputed Account Of Clinton's "20-Year Plan" To Hit Hillary
TPM:
Barack Obama has unveiled a new line of criticism against Hillary: In speeches he's started to point to the allegation made in Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta's Hillary book that the Clintons secretly formulated a 20-year-plan to deliver the presidency first to Bill, and then to Hillary.
"I'm not in this race to fulfill some long-held plan or because it was owed to me," Obama said the other day.
Asked if that were a reference to the Gerth allegation, an Obama spokesperson left virtually no doubt that it was, telling Newsday: "Barack Obama has not been mapping out his run for president from Washington for the last 20 years like some of his opponents."
