Obama slings mud at Hillary

From Newsweek.
"Q. How would you describe her response on the question of her First Lady papers?
A. Her response was certainly inadequate. When she suggested somehow she didn't have control over whether or not these papers were being released—what we're talking about here is her husband's presidential library. And when she is making a suggestion that part of the experience that she brings to this office is her experience as First Lady, people have a right to ask some tough questions. She can release these papers.
Q. So is she being honest?
A. I think she was being disingenuous.
Q. What's the difference between disingenuous and dishonest?
A. You'll have to ask her.
Q. Is she entitled to any credit for her years as First Lady as she argues her case to be president?
A. On those areas where there is a record of her having done work, she certainly deserves credit for it. What she can't do is have it both ways. She can't embrace every success of Bill Clinton's presidency and distance herself from every failure of Bill Clinton's presidency."

This is just not cool. I'm liking Obama less. Slinging poop at Hillary for this Presidential paper thing is stupid and wrong. Mostly because this just in not important, but also because the accusation is cheap and should be beneath any Democratic candidate for the nomination.
