Obama's First Jab At Hil

Spoke to soon . . .

Obama takes his first substantial jab at Hillary, and her health care plan struggles.

"Part of the reason it was lonely, Hillary is because you closed the door," Obama says.

Obama picks up on Biden's point here that Hillary is too polarizing to deliver healthcare. The Democratic debate over healthcare, Obama says, is not really about the plans. He says it's who can mobilize people to come together to make it happen. His dig at Hillary is a fair charge. The "closed the door" line is effective. He should probably use it more often.
