The tactic, not uncommon in the electioneering arena, contradicted Obama’s
previous efforts to style himself as a political reformist who deplored
negative assaults on his opponents.
“It was a character attack,” Neera Tanden, who acted as policy
director during Clinton’s race for the presidential nomination, said. “I
went over to Obama, I’m a big supporter of the President, but their campaign
was entirely a character attack on Hillary as a liar and untrustworthy. It
wasn’t an ‘issue contrast,’ it was entirely personal.”
Ms Tanden now works for Obama as director of domestic policy.
