Barack Blasts 'Secretive' Clintons
Sen. Barack Obama kicked off the countdown to the Iowa caucuses yesterday with a sharp attack on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - raising the specter of a "secretive" history and problems in her husband's administration.
"You have to ask yourself, who's talked the talk, because that will be the measure of how seriously they take this stuff," Obama said.
"If they've been secretive in the past, they'll be secretive as president," he said at an Iowa rally. "If they haven't been all that strong on lobbyists in the past, doesn't matter what they say in the campaign - they won't be that strong about it when they are president."
The "secretive" charge has been lodged by Clinton critics who question why thousands of pages of material from Hillary's days as first lady haven't been released.
