NYT Editorial Bashes Clinton

The Obama campaign is sending reporters tomorrow's lead editorial from the New York Times:

It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.


A lot they don't like. The Times hated the Osama Bin Laden image. They didn't like the "obliterate" Iran comments.

They also write:

He is increasingly rising to Mrs. Clinton’s bait, undercutting his own claims that he is offering a higher more inclusive form of politics. When she criticized his comments about “bitter” voters, Mr. Obama mocked her as an Annie Oakley wannabe. All that does is remind Americans who are on the fence about his relative youth and inexperience.
