Hillary Clinton is reported as 'going for Obama's jugular' with her campaign ad about children sleeping and a call to the White House at 3m (watch it here).
If anything the video shows up her own lack of experience.
It implies that she is someone who "already knows the world's leaders". Well, she couldn't pronounce the new Russian leader's name last week and said "Whatever" after she failed to do so. And it implies she has already "been tested". No, she hasn't. She hasn't actually held a single executive post.
The one time you could perhaps argue that she has been tested was on the vote to give Bush the powers to go to war. She made the wrong call. That wasn't a decision to be made in the middle of the night. She had plenty of time to think about it.
The Obama campaign have shown themselves extremely adept at quick rebuttals and quite rightly, they have replied to the Clinton attack ad with their own "children sleeping" ad (do the campaigns keep stock footage of babies sleeping ready to launch on the US populace at a moment's notice?).
This was why, no doubt, Rahm Emmanuel said he would "hide under his desk" if Obama and Clinton took each other on.
