As the Pentagon battles Hillary Clinton on the war in Iraq, Barack Obama argues about kindergarteners. What a contrast.
The top two rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination were in different leagues this week when it comes to engaging Republican forces. GOP hopeful Mitt Romney tore into Obama’s call for public schools to teach children about the dangers of molestation, overstating the Illinois senator’s idea as a broad plan for inappropriate sex education in kindergartens.
While the Obama camp struggled to clarify his stand in this minor league squabble, the Clinton campaign is on much bigger turf. In a provocative letter to Clinton, a Pentagon official all but suggested that the New York senator was aiding the enemy in asking for details about contingencies for a withdrawal from Iraq.
Even Obama aides acknowledge they would gladly trade their playground fight with Romney for Clinton’s big time debate with military chiefs.
