And Your Position Is?

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama accused Hillary Clinton of dodging tough questions about Social Security.

Obama's campaign arranged for him to be introduced at a Des Moines event by Tod Bowman, a teacher from Maquoketa, Iowa, who tried to pin down Clinton during a debate in Iowa earlier this month on whether the government should tax workers' earnings above the present cap of $97,500 to help pay for Social Security benefits.

Obama was quite long-winded during his harangue over Clinton's dodging the questions.

But - and it's a BIG but - nowhere did Obama make his position known on the issues he was criticizing Clinton for not answering any questions about.

Typical political trick... criticize your opponent about their actions before they criticize you for doing - or not doing - exactly the same thing.

Not that it should matter in the long run. They both stink to high heaven of political skulduggery and compromise. Neither one should ever be allowed anywheres near the White House.
