Now, I may support Senator Clinton, but at least you know my biases, having said that, I'm one of the most objective Clinton supporters you are likely to meet. Senator Obama is now accusing Clinton of running the first attack ad of the campaign season. While the ad does mention Obama, the ad is factually correct and displays specifics. Clinton was for a foreclosure moratorium (I support this), Obama was not. Clinton is for a gas tax holiday (I do not support this), Obama is not. This is simply stating a factual difference. If that is an attack ad, then I cannot imagine what I would see in the fall. Is the ad tough? Yes. Is it an attack ad? No. Can it be viewed that way? Obama thinks so.

As a Obama supporter I'd to say I agree with you, it's not an attack ad.
Yeah. Most of the "attack" ads we've seen have been extremely tame by historical standards. Clinton's run several ads that were more "attacky" than this one.
