DesMoinesRegister "Clinton broadens attack on Obama"

Barack Obama does not measure up when it comes to Social Security reform, diplomacy with Iran, health care or taking a stand when it's time to make tough decisions, rival Democrat Hillary Clinton said today. In the latest round of Democrat-on-Democrat antagonism, Clinton suggested Obama is all talk, little action.
When it comes to Iran, Clinton told the Clear Lake audience she has taken steps for 'aggressive diplomacy' with her vote in the Senate. Obama, however, didn't show up for the vote, she said.�He didn't speak out during a presidential debate that night and finally he decided to play politics and claim that the vote he missed, a vote for diplomacy, was really a vote for a war,' she said. 'Well, if he really thought it was rush for war, why did he rush to campaign and miss the vote?'
Clinton said on Social Security reform, Obama is using 'Republican talking points' he is open to raising the retirement age and raising the payroll tax.
This morning, Clinton�s campaign circulated word that a new poll by The Associated Press and the nonpartisan Pew Research Center shows her leading by 5 points, and a new Iowa State poll has her ahead by 7. They also pointed out that Clinton is up by 19 points in New Hampshire and 14 points in South Carolina.

"all talk, little action"
Tough words.
